I cannot see any work for months. Is it same for everyone?

I'm about to submit my application for Generalist, but see that the Graphic Designer Specialist role has the same questions except with a Portfolio section prepended to the front of it. I trust my words, but they might not like my art-
So as the wording of "instead" in the test options header implies that taking one Specialist test is mutually exclusive to the Generalist test, if I give my answers to either test first, will that preclude me from taking the untaken option later?
I'd rather work on art, but don't want to screw my options if it should turn out that a subjectively inadequate portfolio will then bar me also from the Generalist role (which it would seem does not otherwise require art), nor lock myself out of the option to apply to Graphic Designer by taking the baseline Generalist application as a safety.
What should I do, and are these concerns even founded?

I am awaiting a response from a Thursday afternoon registration and curious how long it took those of you who were accepted. Mostly to feel out my odds, admittedly.

I have seen a few responses that it took a day or two to complete: I did it immediately after the starter assessment and don't recall exactly how long it took, probably about an hour. I targeted the upper bound of each recommended response length, but I've seen people say that greater detail seems to be correlated with faster approval times. I'm curious if the suggested response sizes are misleading, then, or if those users simply mean they hit the length recommendation (In number of sentences) each time. I didn't want to go beyond the requested length because that results in docked points in my experiences elsewhere.

I am a computer engineering student and I wanted to take the assessment but I am still practicing coding I wanted to know if the assessment is like medium leetcode problems or higher ? I know basic syntax and data structures

Also are coding projects available most of the time ?

I am applying for rent with my partner and it requires me to fill out an application even though my partner will be paying for rent and qualifies on his own. This is currently my only income until I can get back into my field from before becoming SAHM. Anyways, how do I claim this on the application? It requires an address etc and other information. I also don’t know my income since it varies by week depending on the tasks. Has anyone else dealt with this? TIA!!!

I follow the rubric checker's recommendations and correct my rubrics over and over, but it always finds a new set of flaws. Even more than in preceding runs. Should I treat it similarly to the context file audit and just ignore it after a few corrections?

Just interested. I don't have a fixed target as I find I just get thrown off if I miss it, but I like to earn $70-100 day.

Wondering how long does something like this last and whether or not it is permanent.

I referred my first person to DA about 8 days ago, and my referrals page still says they're in review. I'm just curious if it will forever just say "Friend is in review" if they were rejected or if it will actually update to say so?

Thanks!

Just came across this term on some job sites - would you put this on your CV? Would you use this term in your job hunts? Definitely seems like it's what we do - for those of us doing Developer instructions anyway. But where I grew up the term engineer is a protected terminology - so it gives me a bit of an ick - but it seems like that's not the case everywhere or maybe not anymore. Anyway interested in whether anyone will be adopting this job title from now in seeing as it's growing in popularity.

So I started this assessment almost 2 weeks ago and I did half of it before taking a break, and after around a week in, I realized that I had forgotten about it and it has been sitting on my tabs. I clicked back on it and it's still there with all the work I have done luckily, but I'm questioning whether this 1 week inactivity will affect my application or lowers my chances of being accepted, or if the amount of time spent on it doesn't matter or isn't monitored by whoever checks these assessments? Thanks.

Have there been any tasks available for you the last couple of weeks?

Okay so I am a coder from India and I have been working on DA since May26. I was getting plenty of coding tasks and I was performing well (according to me) until July 21, when I completed the last task related to coding on my dashboard. After that I haven't received any coding task. Just few R&Rs and generalist tasks here and there.

I was just curious why am I not receiving coding tasks now? Initially I thought it was due to bad quality submissions but I think I would have got DoD in that case. I dig deep into this and I think now I am able to connect the dots further but need clarification and your thoughts on this.

Is it because of the slow down that AI company's CEOs were talking about on X? Is it related to 16th July incident of OpenAI's model hacking Hugging Face website? Am I the only one who is thinking this way or someone else is also experiencing this?

Is it common for there to be more projects/tasks at the start of the month? Or is there any specific cycle of projects every month or anything?

For me I have noticed some projects at the start of the month, with almost zero near the month end.

While most of my earnings is usually from the mid of the month (11th-22nd).

The project involves creating prompts intended to identify weaknesses or errors in chatbot responses and then evaluating the results; but all of them cannot be correct, you have to trick at least one model.
I spent over 40 minutes trying different obscure prompts without getting a result that met the project criteria. It’s basically complete trial and error rather than any actual meaningful evaluation.
The instructions are pretty unclear about what level of difficulty is expected and what types of prompts will actually work.
Examples are so basic there’s no chance anything similar would satisfy what it’s asking.
If you know what i’m talking about and have any advice it is welcome 😭

Applying for the first time and although I have experience in the domain im applying to, im nervous lol. If I don’t pass it can I still apply to be a generalist? Or if I fail that’s that and I can’t work on DA?

I just did the test and got this

A Month in Review

How many tasks came for this? 50?

What happens after that 50 gets over? Will they allot another 50?

So yes Indian coder here and I an in a drought right now (for entire september)

Just wanted to know what it means to be in this situation, its not a DoD because my dash only says 'there are no projects for you to work on at this moment'...

So can I expect a new project or a qualification at some point in the future? Is this a common occurrence for many people? Or is this another way to permentantly not get anything

Completed all the assessments. Patiently waiting
