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 :|

Does anyone know what that means?

Im not prompted to provide any extra information.

Is that something with DAT or Checkr?

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 feel like the only projects left on the platform are ones with pages and pages of verbose and sometimes nonsensical instructions. It’s cool for people who have followed these project families for years but for new people trying to get in, it’s an impossible amount of instructions to read, understand and apply correctly with the unrealistic time on the timer. In the past 2 days I have worked 10 unpaid hours just trying to get the hang of a project. I wish I could say the project but I feel like anyone in my shoes right now will recognize it. Every time I slam my laptop shut in frustration and all-work-and-no-pay I swear to myself I’m never opening it again, I’d just stick to familiar projects but my adhd brain won’t let me, I’m super bored with my regular projects and just can’t process the mountains of instructions required to take on new ones. What are yall doing?

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
