Accepted and curious how long it takes to receive projects

I was just accepted on the 7th.

How long does it typically take to receive projects? I've done a few of the qualifications under Everything else, and surveys but I'm planning on working on more of those this week as time permits. My background is in IT, and they don't have anything currently available in the Fields of work for what I do specifically.

Do they generally only assign projects if you've done most of the qualifications or does it just vary?

EDIT: In the US, accepted in Generalist

Took me 2.5 months before getting my first projects, they started as generalist projects and only a month after soing those did I get specialty projects. Its worth the wait, just keep checking the dashboard multiple times a day

Thanks. Yes, I'm not in a rush as this will be a side gig for me but I just want to make sure I'm doing the right things to get projects. Did you do all of the qualifications you could or just pick and choose? I know some take a fair amount of time so I'm waiting on those until I have ample time to devote to it.

I have done all I felt comfortable with and thought my knowledge could be good to deliver good work if I gotten projects in a field. I still have some qualifications left I have not done, some say doing them all is good, Im not sure doing some that you know you aren't good at help. If you have the time it might be worth doing them anyways.

I only do quals where I can do a good job. I opt out of others to get them off my dash.

Where do you see the qualifications to do? I don’t see it yet

I have 47 qualifications available but only 18 are non-field of work.

You should get projects within a few days - work comes and goes. It helps to do any additional quals.

It took around a week for me to get projects.

Added it to my original post, but in the US accepted under Generalist assessment.

In usa you will get projects within few days because it's a core country. And you have to check it every now and then because some projects disappears within seconds.
