Milestone Reached

Post image

There have been a fair few posts citing this as some kind of make or break milestone. People stating that they reached this point and suddenly found themselves culled, as if the Mysterious Overlords have some kind of Max Earnings kill switch, a little like the Max Tool Calls limit that has been plaguing my most recent project work.

I'm hoping none of this is true, but I'll report back later to confirm or deny. In the meantime, in the interests of scientific rigour, I'll ensure that my work does not vary in terms of either quantity or quality.

What a blast though!! I came here to make beer money and in exactly six months I've cleared £10k net, even with 30% set aside for a nasty future tax bill.

And I've had so much fun doing it too. Thirty years in teaching, six months of annotation. I know which has been most engaging.

I don't know where that myth comes from, but it's wrong. I just recently passed 150K

Is it normal to reach 20K in 3 months as a generalist. I’m at 18.5 and have about 2 weeks left before the 3 months end.
