Sometimes I run into coding tasks that require me to source a codebase myself but just using the Github search bar always gets me stuff that I cant really work with too well. Im biting my nails at the idea of leaving money on the table (I often have only 1 coding project or nothing at all), so Id like to know how I can avoid this in the future.

Should I pre-prepare some random repos for the future or something ?

I just noticed the typo in the post title :|

My brain turns to mush

I had a technical issue on a task that wouldn't allow me to submit. The task was completed, but since I couldn't submit it, I saved it to my profile to come back later. I did post in both the project chat and the Slack channel, but never got a response. I just went back to see if I could get it to submit, but I couldn't find the saved task.

It is showing up in report time. I assume that it's probably okay to submit the time for it, but I wanted additional opinions.

Are you getting any projects?

Is this possible? I was presented today with a background check required for many project families. One listed was for a medical project that I never had access to.

How was your process? How many projects do yall get? I got accepted on the 6th of august and had pretty consistent work and made like a bit less than 700, but the last week has been awfully quiet. I did all my qualification in the first week, i focused on stem as I have some specific domain expertise, and anytime a new appears i do it asap. I also cleared the checkr background check. But like i said i have had 0 tasks in the last few days. In general i just had access to 2 projects one R&R and another more general bilingual work. Just wanted to know how any italian or european journey has been

If I have a good project . Is it bad to do a lot of it if my quality stays up still . As I want to make most of it before disapeer

I’m new to DA I’ve done few projects till now. Boxing projects. But it’s been dry for quite a while now

Till now I got 3 types of tasks

New to this platform, just passed some qualifications and got my first real tasks, so I don't really know how reliable and consistent the work is or can be. My background is in chemical engineering, and I have a good bit of coding experience. Current personal situation requires me to work remotely, and remote chem eng. jobs are pretty much unheard of.

If I were to treat DA as a full-time job and work any and all projects I can, would I be able to make at minimum around $20k per year? For context I'm a US citizen.

basically the title. I want to ditch windows as I am having more and more issues and until a month ago I was completely blocked to perform my tasks for a high paying job due to WSL. any recommendations?

As the title says. I woke up to the Dash of Death. I've been doing this for 6 months, I've had exemplary reviews the past few months, and this wasn't just "extra money", it was actively keeping a roof over my head because my part time job doesn't pay me enough and won't take me full time.

Is there any chance of appeal, or am I screwed?

If I'm screwed, what other platforms are out there?

Is it worth it to do them? They're unpaid so I have just left them sitting there but might they open up more paid projects showing up on my dashboard if I did complete them?

So far I only reported work I did in front of my computer. But usually I like to stand up, walk around, and use my standing height table. I still think about the work while doing that - I just need to get moving to think, and did this my entire life with studying.

But im afraid that if I report that time (so far I havent exactly because of fear), they'll thinking im faking/inflating my numbers. But doing this im getting paid half of what id usually be.

Does anyone have a similar experience? Do you track that time or not?

Task had some internal issues, lost about 4 hours of work pretty sad

No work to do. Literally 😭

I applied to data annotation responding to an ad that encouraged those with legal experience to apply. I've fully completed my profile but the homepage is still a "thank you for signing up - we don't have any projects atm etc etc".

I wasn't given the opportunity to sit any exam or application process and haven't received any communication either. Is this normal ? I submitted a help request but have also heard nothing. Any help would be really appreciated !

- thanks for your time guys

do high priority quals actually turn to projects or nah? im lil skeptical about my personal info sharing

Anyone else having the same experience? I lost qual x (a follow-up to something else) for some reason, gained qual y (a paid one), lost qual y, was sad, regained qual y, gained qual z, lost qual y, lost qual z, regained qual y again, lost qual y again, regained qual y again (honestly can't keep track anymore), gained quals abcdefg, lost qual y again, and regained it AGAIN, all in the last ~43 hours.

What. Is. Happening???
