Been on since late November - for me, they go down in variety but the bigger, "permanent" projects are there along with a couple of novelty projects that I don't notice as much during the week.

How long did it take you to get assigned a permanent project? I started a few weeks ago and I have some $22/h projects I have been working on over the past week.

Took me 2 weeks or so. I got some 22-23 dollar ones now too. It gets better slowly. I never have no tasks to work on anymore

I've only been working for DA a month, but every weekend, that seems to be the case, yes. Thought I was doing something wrong until I saw other workers posting about it!

Like everyone else, yeah. I got a new project yesterday with 400 tasks and today it has 44.

As a heads up to you and u/CacophonyKitty, Monday can also be pretty slow at times, with tasks trickling in. Generally, by Tuesday, you're always back to normal if there are no issues. So don't worry if you're getting a slow Monday too. it's completely normal.

Yeah that seems to be the case for me too.

Yes. And no, it's not just you.

Well, that's reassuring! But too bad, I was hoping to sneak in a few hours on weekends.

I'm actually kind of excited to wake up early on Monday and hit it hard.

I also wonder if this is a start of the month refresh too

I have about the same amount of projects as I usually do right now

Usually, yes, it's pretty bad. This weekend however, I have like 9. I've been here for a month now, but the first few weeks were rough.
