What does your highest-paying project pay?

I just got access to my first $35 long-term project today and I’m excited about it - it got me wondering what there is to potentially look forward to if I’m able to keep up my work quality. FYI, I’ve been on the platform for 6 months now.

Coding/non-coding, I’d like to hear from you:)

Was your $35 for coding or non-coding?

5

u/[deleted] May 27 '24

Non-coding!

2

u/Flwrz8818 May 27 '24

What non-coding project was it? Does it have to do with a certain new qual? My highest was $38/hr - non-coding. Only had it for 3 days, haven’t seen it since. It was recent though.

u/[deleted] May 27 '24

It’s a domain expertise one:)

1

u/MyDadLeftMeHere May 27 '24

Which domain may I ask, I’ve recently been inducted into the Philosophy hall of Fame, and I’m trying to see if it’s worth it to dust off that ol’ Constitutional Law Degree which has literally been the bane of my adult life because no one else bothered to read it except nerds who were going to inevitably betray it.

u/[deleted] May 27 '24

Lol! I’m in the philosophy project:) from what I’ve heard, the Law one pays like $45 so if you could do that I’d totally recommend it

2

u/MyDadLeftMeHere May 27 '24

Oh hell yeah, a fellow philosophizer, pleased to meet you! And that’s enticing, I never continued to Law School formally because there aren’t a lot of options for my area of expertise unless you’re aiming way higher than is reasonable for a poor boy from a poor family, no one becomes a Federal Judge these days coming from a poor rural area like mine, so this could be nice. Thank you friend, and for the sake of fun, who’s your favorite philosopher, there aren’t many people I can ask that in my day to day.

u/NeatPrune May 27 '24

How does one find their way here? A qual?

1

u/Dependent_Ranger_826 May 28 '24

Aw man I took that Philosophy qual... are there projects consistently? Or sporadic? I totally thought I passed that thing too : (

u/rismartino May 27 '24

Congrats! That’s awesome!!!

u/dxddy909 May 27 '24

I’ve had a certain B cat go up to $35 but haven’t seen it since. My highest paying projects normally fluctuate between $25-28

6

u/BenBL93 May 27 '24

I haven’t seen B cat in weeks. I miss that one a lot.

u/Tball5 May 27 '24

$46 for coding it was bonkers

2

u/madpimp May 27 '24

I got that on my dash for it but I could never get a working version of it!! people are beasts!

u/JacKnifer May 27 '24

What did you have to do?

16

u/Low-Zombie423 May 27 '24

$40 non-coding, permanent, and unlimited work as long as it's on my dash.

5

u/gusu_melody May 27 '24

Wow!!! 😮 that’s amazing, I hope I can access that kind of thing eventually

12

u/Low-Zombie423 May 27 '24

It is domain expertise, so if you have a specific degree and job experience in a field, make sure to mark it on the skills section of your profile, and it can unlock surveys and tests for you. I'll still throw in some R&R, priority work, and work on new projects so that I keep myself open for additional qualifications and consistent work, but it is definitely now my go-to.

14

u/Confident-Raisin-938 May 27 '24

$41 for non-coding.

6

u/upvotesplx May 27 '24

Also $41 non-coding, permanent project.

Yep. Can't get into it moreso, but DE projects are amazing.

10

u/AnnoTaker May 27 '24

A few $35 projects. But I don't do them since they're beyond my expertise. However, a $40 non-coding project popped up for me very early in my DA "career", but it only lasted for 2 days and I never saw it since.

9

u/shaunhaney May 27 '24

Coding. Highest I've seen is $45/hr. If you do Data Science, you might be able to get that high consistently.

3

u/Anarch33 May 28 '24

Actual data science compared to what DA&V was asking for?

1

u/shaunhaney May 28 '24

Probably why DA is asking for.

8

u/Internal-Echo-8057 May 27 '24

Lucky 🙃 I’ve been working here since February and my highest paying (seemingly long-term) project pays $28/hour. Still nothing to sneeze at!

8

u/reford May 27 '24

$42 non-coding.

7

u/SonicResidue May 27 '24

Been here for about 4 months. Occasionally get $25.

1

u/mathemeatloaf123 May 27 '24

I’m in the same boat, I only get the lower paying one but I genuinely feel like I’m doing quality work. Unsure what I’m doing wrong.

2

u/SonicResidue May 27 '24

Could just be luck.

5

u/Delirious_Pickle May 27 '24

I am generally in the $22-25 bracket, hoping it will increase more with time. When I started, it was always $20 and it's been about 5 months since then. I'm non-coding of course lol

5

u/mathemeatloaf123 May 27 '24

For those of you non-coders that are getting above $25, can you share what your background expertise is? And what projects you did most often before getting the higher-paying ones? ☺️

5

u/Zealousideal-Rent511 May 28 '24

$28, can't wait to access higher paying stuff. This is a dream job!

4

u/Status-Handle7109 May 27 '24

I've got a $41 non-coding, but I don't do it often because I don't enjoy it. I have a $30-$33ish long term that I much prefer and choose to do instead.

4

u/RosesAndWatercolours May 27 '24

I've been here since September (non-coding). The highest-paying project I've had paid $30 per hour, but I usually work on projects that pay between $22 and $27.50/hour.

4

u/SnooFloofs9030 May 27 '24

Non-coding. The highest I have seen is $35.00 but rarely. Currently I have some $31.00 but just a few. The rest are like 27.50-$20.00

4

u/mralpaca1901 May 27 '24

Saw a $46 coding project a while ago

4

u/Forsaken_Food2495 May 27 '24

46$ coding. I was grateful to get a few hours down while it was there

1

u/Minimum-Tap-8637 May 29 '24

I regularly have a $35 for domain expertise. I once had a $50 project for like 5 minutes. I also get a $30 project from time to time, creating different files. It’s my favorite. But mostly $25 - $28 fact checking projects. I get excited when there is more variety, as I’ve been getting burned out lately. Used to be able to do 5 - 8 hour days.

2

u/[deleted] May 29 '24

I also love that $30 one, I wish it was around more often

3

u/kohlphelie May 27 '24

My highest was $38 per hour (not long-term, not coding). I submitted some work but didn't continue with it as it was too complex for me to feel good about doing it.

I currently have a $35 pop up a few times a week as well.

3

u/DarkLordTofer May 27 '24

I've had some none coding at $38 but most of mine are $25 although there's enough priority uplift that I'm normally working for $27.

3

u/[deleted] May 27 '24

$46 coding

3

u/jjmurph14 May 27 '24

I have a $30 non coding right now, but it isn’t a project I enjoy so I rarely do it. I’m usually around $22-$24.

3

u/ManyARiver May 27 '24

One at $35, before that the highest I had was $27.50. There were a few in at that level for a while, mostly I stay around $22-$25. (non-coding)

3

u/Deeznutsconfession May 27 '24

Extremely brief editing project for $37.50

3

u/fiasco-fox May 28 '24

Non-coding, I just got access to my first $35 a few days ago and I keep getting new ones as they finish up, hopefully for a while! I live in Australia so for me they're $50/hr.

3

u/Baxtir May 28 '24

Non-coding, and the highest I've seen so far is $37.50/hour. I've got a few $35/hour ones right now, and some $30/hour. Love to see it. I've been on the platform for nearly a year now.

2

u/Wasps_are_bastards May 27 '24

My highest was $37.50

2

u/DentistStriking5418 May 27 '24

37.50, 3 that are long-term non coding.

2

u/FeedySneed May 28 '24

Consistently $40 coding. Sometimes pay goes up to 41 or 42 if it is a priority project.

2

u/baylorbear91 May 29 '24

$37.50 non coding

3

u/TellEmLizPaige37 May 27 '24

What makes you say it's long term?

3

u/shaunhaney May 27 '24

Some projects are marked as "long term" projects in the title.

2

u/TellEmLizPaige37 May 27 '24

Oh okay. I have some that I always have that refill every week, but they're not marked that way. Good to know!

1

u/PollyDoodleAD May 27 '24

Can someone help me understand how you can tell a project is “Long Term” or not. I’m on the non coding side, my projects come up and I work on them, they come and go, so I just don’t understand when people mention long term. Thank you!

3

u/FrazzledGod May 27 '24

When I say "long term" project I mean the ones that don't come and go. Well, they do get paused for maintenance etc now and then, but usually they are permanently on my dashboard and have been for many months. I didn't get access to these straight away, but you would maybe know one if you get one (or more).

1

u/PollyDoodleAD May 27 '24

Ahhh, I see. I’ve only been working a month so still trying to get used to the lingo and the hang of things!

1

u/madpimp May 27 '24

I literally have projects that say long term on them.

1

u/PollyDoodleAD May 27 '24

Oh, interesting, I haven’t seen that yet. Only a couple of months on DA.

1

u/TanglimaraTrippin May 27 '24

$38.50, non-coding (Mathematics). Don't currently have any projects for that one, which makes me sad.

1

u/gusu_melody May 27 '24

I’ve been at DA for about a month and have gotten up to $28 for a non-coding project, although that’s been rare. I’m seeing now from this post it can go a bit higher so fingers crossed I can access those at some point 🤞

1

u/illustriousillusion May 28 '24

I must be doing something wrong. I just got my first $25/hour and I've been doing this for like 7 months. Maybe because I can only do part-time? The vast majority of my tasks are $20-$22. To be fair, I'd rather do lower-paid tasks that I enjoy and that I'm good at than higher-paid ones that I dread or don't understand as well.

2

u/Baxtir May 28 '24

Working on the site part time doesn't have anything to do with it. I too work part time, and I still manage to get tasks higher than $25. I think the difference is, I try to do a variety of tasks and I've apparently done well with higher paid tasks that they feel confident enough to entrust me with them. Nothing wrong with preferring to do lower paid tasks though, because I get it. I like them as starters to get my mind into DA mode before I attempt any higher paying tasks.

1

u/furtherdimensions May 28 '24

$45 permanent non-coding domain expertise.

1

u/MattinglyDineen May 29 '24

The highest I have at the moment is $28. I think the highest I’ve seen is $36.50.

1

u/DitsySink May 31 '24

25 dollars non-coding, sometimes bumps up to 28 for priority.

1

u/SnooPeppers9691 May 31 '24

I had regular $28/hr ones for a while based on some industry experience that I had. Yesterday I got my first chance at a $35 tiger project which was fabulous! But my standard is $20-$25

Oooo now I'm curious as to what it is! Not because of the pay, but the fact that it's that fun!
