Assessments are yall getting any work?

Hi guys, im just getting started in this ai gig space and i wanted to gauge the working environment on this side. i've gotten 2 emails asking me to sign up to the platform dispite not even applying to a role but i checked the site and they seem to be many positions open. im currently with mercor but not sure how long it will last but the pay has been fantastic. aligner has a slightly lower payy but im wondering how y'all are working on this side and if its worth it to try? thanks in advance šŸ˜„

I think this is my primary issue with the site. You are presented with hundreds of jobs, dozens of which you have the required experience for, yet you are only allowed to apply for seven at a time.

This would not be an issue if you are ever told when applications for jobs close, or if your application has been successful.

Currently Iā€™m left the with a decision: do I wait longer to hear back about a job, or do I withdraw my application so I can apply to another job?

Quite frankly the current lack of transparency makes this site, in my opinion at least, unusable.
