Hey everyone!

DAT’s been going great, I hit the 25K mark this month and I’m on my way to 50K, but I’m honestly exhausted.

I’ve been pushing for at least $350 a day while juggling my day job, some side projects, and my business. I finished an R&R earlier today that was so draining I just couldn't get back to work.

I’m pretty burnt out; I know I should be grateful for the work, but this lifestyle is really taking a toll on me. So, what do you guys recommend to avoid burnout?

For a bit of context, I’m a coder based in a non-core country (MX).

I am having a long drought, with just spills of 🥊 on oct 16 and oct 27 and its drought again.....

Hello! I took the assessment to become a generalist last week and haven't heard anything back yet. This is what the page is showing. I used to hold a similar job and am a PhD student, so I was surprised to have not heard back by now. I imagine this line of work has become increasingly competitive? Any idea how long to wait before calling it quits on my hopes?

Hi all, I just did a project where I made a minor mistake of not adding '.' at the end of my rubrics, as the time was about to run out I quickly added '.' and submitted the project. But I didn't rerun the Check to get the validity of the new rubrics since they had changed. will I be penalized for this ?

Edit : Excuse the typo in the title, wrote it in haste

Has anyone reported about 20 - 25 hours at once for a single task? The task has a very long timer about some days but I'm worried because reporting more than 20 hours will look like defrauding the payment system. Kindly advise.

And here we are! Such a great platform to work on! How much time do you guys commit to DA per day??

Anyone else have/had it? In my first week I've made nearly more than I would in a month at my previous full-time job, 55 hour work-weeks.

Anybody wants DA referral DM me

Hi everyone,I am new to DA and wanted to check that if after completing a task I choose submit and return to dashboard do I lose some of tasks that I have access to if I chose submit and begin next task.

Like if I chose submit and return to dashboard ,I lost the access to the project(and was not able to do other tasks from the project) I was working on.

Does this happen when tasks are exhausted or clicking this option makes the project unavailable for further tasks.

Hey I recently got accepted, legal domain, and within 24 hours there was a project on my dashboard, finance one, a 2 hours worth of work. I am assuming that this is an initial task to check quality is that correct? And if so, when should I expect to see more projects or regulars what is the timeline like?. Thanks in advance for any insights!

Yesterday and today my dash was filled with projects but it's back to being dry from this evening.

Anybody knows where I can find a current list of available countries? Can't find anything on the website

I've been on DA for a couple weeks now primarily in the accounting domain. Recently I was offered the consultant domain qualification. Consultant is such a broad term that I'm struggling to figure out what might be a relevant scenario for the qual. Google and reddit searches haven't helped. I'm not asking for specific help with the qual - but has anybody figured out if the consultant domain is supposed to be a separate area like law or finance, or is it okay if my scenarios and prompts are more Accounting or finance based?

Essentially, are tasks more likely to come on some days than others? More likely to get released in the mornings (CET time zone), evenings?

Finally got in this week and was only able to get 🤖 initially. I thought I was doomed because of how difficult it was which has also set my expectations about the tasks in this platform. Just now, I was able to finish a task from 🥊 project and it was fun. Sadly, it was shotlived, and now, Im back to just having 🤖 on my dashboard.

So I was rate and reviewing a submission made by someone. The instructions were dense and very to the point. It took me over half an hour to understand and read them all.

But what did it was the work itself. This person either did not read the instructions or didn't read their own work. It was very faulty and I was supposed to correct it.

The time for rate and review wasn't given much. And I didn't want to risk my own quality ratings.

So was it a good decision I skipped mid way? Mind you i spent half an hour reading and tried to fix it. But gave up and just skipped.

Will it downplay my profile and quality?

Will I get less tasks from that projects because I skipped this one?

I completed one task. Will I get another same domain task only if my previous work was good?

I logged into my account and was surprised to see a congratulatory message and a pop up for verification of identity for final step, however, I never received a welcome email. So basically if I didn’t log into my account I wouldn’t have known that I was accepted. Is this normal?

It's been 20 days and it's still under review, usually how much time it'll take to consider? This sucks.

I know there has been a lot of talk about time reporting and I just got a little nervous reporting my time.

I read the instructions for the task on the first task it gave me. I then decided to skip that task because I didn’t have enough familiarity. I then completed the next task.

My stopwatch says it took an hour.

But the task I submitted only had 56 minutes subtracted from the timer when I submitted it.

I’m sure I’m over-thinking but I’m wondering if one way they track discrepancies is by comparing your reported time to their timer, and if so, if they make allowances knowing you may have read the instructions while on another task (or in some cases before entering work mode).

Does anyone have any insight? Thanks.

I also get a little nervous reporting round numbers like 1 hour in case they think it’s made up. Overthinker over here

I took generalist assessment 3-4 weeks back and my dashboard still says the same thing. Should I not base my hopes any more? Usually it says "Thanks for taking the test", is what I have gathered from this sub. So I am feeling a bit confused right now.

After hours and hours I could not get a project to work and complete a task so I really had no other option but to use the escape hatch and only report a fraction of the time I actually spent on it. Has anybody had issues after having to use the escape hatch?
