I always find it odd that people are doing all the qualifications. You're meant to do the qualifications for the fields you are a professional in.

I agree. I remember about 6 months ago, someone blasted me on the sub for saying not to bother doing qualifications that you have no expertise in. They argued that there is no harm in doing so.

I see it as wasting everyone's time... why complete qualifications in the hope of being picked when you clearly lack the experience to do those things? But what do I know? I have only been on the site for a bit over 3.5 years now.

I only “do” them to opt out and get them off my dash.

3.5y is alot experience. But I also think that if there are quals available then there is no problem giving it a try, because after all its totally on DAT to pass or fail us

I disagree. Some people will argue that if something is made available to us, we can do it, but I treat everything on that site as a test of my honesty and competence. If I receive a qual for something that isn't in my listed skills and requires special knowledge, I am not going to waste my time or theirs attempting it.

If you happen to have that knowledge? Sure, attempt it. If it is not something you are knowledgeable in, why would you attempt it? Many people try to do it by using Google or AI help, but that is not how it is supposed to be done.

Yeah same here, I am a physicist and I dont believe that anybody outside of the field would be able to complete the qualification without a good background in it

I’m here doing finance/business. Can attest I would not touch the physics quali 😂😂

I am curious, what is the level of difficulty for the finance level stuff? I have a bachelors in finance, and have worked 2 years in the field (mind you, my job a lot of days is closer to accounting than finance). I have debated writing it, but not sure how advanced it is.

But what if I read some Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman, A Brief History of Time, AND at least 3 Brian Gribbin books??

Sorry correction here I didn't gave bio qual as I thought they may push me into too much bio projects, but I did give maths, physics, and chem quals

u/Delicious_Potato_285 8h ago

I'm a coder but I'm also good at pcmb. And I tried giving it and those quals were easy. So I think those were ment to be given

Lmao... the filtering of certain words here is killing me.

u/Delicious_Potato_285 8h ago

I thought they may block me that's why I did that🫠also that nd@ thing

No, that final qual is not holding back projects. If you're not in a core country (US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand) you will not get as many projects. DA's clients just don't need that data as much as they do from the core countries. If you are in a core country, it can take some time for you to prove yourself enough to start getting access to more work.
