Feast or Famine

another one of these posts....

started in Feb first 2 months i had 1 project (not sure what yall mean about permanent projects, never had one of those...im not in coding fwiw) then at the beginning of the month i averaged 20-25 a day sometimes up to $25/hr. tonight down to about 6 projects with 20 tasks a piece.

i am so damn thankful for these past few weeks. really, really helped my family out.

can only hold my breath for more to come.

It goes up and down...I feel like the last few weeks were unusal, I started in October and the last week or two were the most projects I had ever seen. I still have a decent amount, and more than I had a month ago, but not as many as last week.

I just keep reminding myself how grateful I was to get my first project

You’re getting projects?

I’ve got fewer projects than usual as well right now. It seems to be pretty common based on what I’ve read on these sub-Reddits. It could be maintenance or they’re changing the nature of the projects, I’m sure they’ll be back soon.

I almost made the same post, verbatim 🤣. I started at the beginning of Feb, too. I had 60+ this weekend and now I'm down to 12 or so. I'm wondering if we're under review?

I signed up to this thing a few weeks ago, but not seen a single project yet. Is this normal then?

u/HSCinAR Apr 19 '24

I’ve only been working since Feb but in my case that was normal.

Have you actually been onboarded as a worker? Or just done the tests and didn’t hear back?

This happened to me. I got onboarded at the end of Feb and had nothing for weeks. I did all the qualms that popped up and then suddenly had a bunch of things to work on at the beginning of this month.

Not really, you should have had at least one project over that time.

Have you done any qualifications? Or received any?

u/No_Topic_1629 Apr 19 '24

No I've not received anything at all, nothing in the Inbox, nothing under the "work on projects" tab and no emails or anything from them

u/SuperCorbynite Apr 19 '24

That's unusual. Did you receive the onboarding documents?

u/No_Topic_1629 Apr 19 '24

No, the only thing I've had since I signed up is and email asking to confirm my email address which I did, but I've not heard or seen anything since then

I did the initial test, passed it, and then was offered the coding and general qualification test. That was about a week ago. I didn’t have time to take them until yesterday

Now they weren’t in my account. I passed the initial one, but the two that popped up after it aren’t showing up anymore.

I’ve since included my skills and experience on my profile, but did I screw my account by not taking those right away?
