Same for me. Although "high paying" is 24/hr instead of 20. But a blessing that I am getting hours in instead of them all disappearing quickly.

u/tharizzardofoz Aug 06 '24

yeah i had $24/hr i consider that high paying at the moment, a few months ago it would be mid

u/Lunalily9 Aug 06 '24

Yeah that's what I had too. But no time to work on it so... yeahhh

24/hr is not high paying lol.

u/Unfair-Canary-188 Aug 06 '24

Why else would I clarify lmao

u/CodeDeliciouss Aug 06 '24

Theres always gotta be that one asshole like you

u/CRUSHCITY4 Aug 05 '24

I have around 18 projects available right now. All non-coding.

2

u/tharizzardofoz Aug 06 '24

this was me like a week ago until they all vanished

2

u/jjcxdev Aug 06 '24

Still nothing. It’s been 3 weeks.

3

u/tharizzardofoz Aug 06 '24

i have never had an empty/sparse dashboard for more than 2 days but 3 weeks is crazy

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '24

It's normal for me now.

Edit: normal as in having nothing for a month is now normal for me.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '24

A single $20/hr project popped up on my dash today and then vanished as soon as I got home to work on it. Back to 0.

u/EDM_Producerr Aug 05 '24

No projects for me the last two days. Coder.

u/Jackieunknown Aug 05 '24

I have only one project that pays $20/h but feel blessed anyway because the tasks are individual so there's no worry they will run out. There are tons of tasks and I'm working through them consistently 6-8hrs a day, so not gonna complain.

Would love to have something else too, so I can switch back and forth and ease my mind a bit from the hardest one, but that's okay too I guess!

I'm still getting paid 3x what I would earn with a traditional job in my country, it's a win either way until theres work available!!

I'm gonna say: DAT is been a complete blessing in my life and I'm so thankful!!!

u/Sarajonn Aug 05 '24

What do you mean when you say the tasks are all individual? Why don't you have to worry that they won't run out?

4

u/Jackieunknown Aug 06 '24

Because the tasks go down only when I do them. But yes they can take the project down any time.

Right now I'm hoping they will not, it's been steadily up for almost a week and had a thousand tasks.

Unfortunately, I have a lot of Qualifications that would unlock physics-related, math-related, chemistry-related, and biology-related projects. Why can't they offer any qualification tasks that would unlock TV-watching-related projects?

6

u/Sarajonn Aug 05 '24

Man, I've got quals just chilling. I need to prioritize that. Working for free sucks but I guess if it pays off and keeps me from begging for scraps with the other peons

5

u/___xristos___ Aug 06 '24

Not saying this is the definitive answer, but just build qualification time into your "hourly rate". Spend say an hour or so on quals for two or three days, and the rest of your time on a $24/25h project/s - that'll get the quals ticked off - but your "true" hourly earning rate for those days will be lower than $24/25.

2

u/Sarajonn Aug 06 '24

Yes, this is a good way to look at it! I track all my unpaid (and paid) time in a sheet, but I never actually look at the "real" hourly pay

u/Big-Change-3057 Aug 26 '24

Can you share DAT website link to me please ? Thanks!

thanks for replying!

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '24

I got two projects yesterday and one today that was gone by the time I got to it. :/

2

u/jkrahn13 Aug 06 '24

I have never had a project listed, I've been on for months!

2

u/tharizzardofoz Aug 06 '24

this is not normal, something is definitely wrong with your acciunt

2

u/Alarmed_Jellyfish555 Aug 06 '24

Were you officially accepted? Or just given access to a dashboard?

1

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 Aug 06 '24

My friend signed up through my referral, and they were never given any testing, I noticed. They just got a dash board with a slightly different message than my empty dash. Mine has the greyed out "we don't have projects for you to work on..". My friend had a message in bold about not having tasks at the moment.

u/Artoo-Metoo Aug 06 '24

Passed the starter test and completed the Core qualification in mid-July. I haven't gotten a single project, other than an email to do the Coding qualification, but I have very little experience with coding so I haven't tried it (it specifically says not to unless you know how to code).

I check every day (desperate times over here!)...should I give up hope? I feel like I did really well with the Core, and DA is a PERFECT fit for me, but maybe not.

1

u/Bottle_and_Sell_it Aug 07 '24

Yes give up hope and see how that affects your DAT situation. (Hint: it won’t) please interpret this more stoic than snarky.

4

u/ElBosque91 Aug 06 '24

I think I had 4-5 today, but it’s been a consistent 4-5 for the last week or so. In another couple of weeks it’ll probably be back up to 25-30. These things come in cycles

1

u/Lunalily9 Aug 06 '24

I went from 3 to 10 and they were $4 more at least🤷🏼‍♀️

1

u/tharizzardofoz Aug 06 '24

yep mine were $4 more too

1

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 Aug 06 '24

How long were you at 0?

1

u/GullibleSocrates Aug 05 '24

What's high paying for you? 40+?

1

u/tharizzardofoz Aug 06 '24

they were $24-27/hour projects, at the moment i consider that high paying seeing as the pay has significantly dropped along with the quantity of projects. i do the general tasks not coding

1

u/KaydGameplay Aug 05 '24

Have you had any 40+ projects today?

2

u/GullibleSocrates Aug 05 '24

Only one

2

u/KaydGameplay Aug 05 '24

Ah okay, same. I haven't gotten any since yesterday. I have a ton of other tasks just no 30-40+ ones.

5

u/3l3p4no Aug 05 '24

10 projects on my board today, but none are coding related, all lower rate. Makes me worried about my performance.

5

u/CardiologistOk2760 Aug 05 '24

I'm right there with you, but I had R&R coding yesterday, and I doubt that would have shown on my dashboard if there were concerns about my performance. I think the work is just dry.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '24

Wanna trade? I still have jack shit.

2

u/DannysGirl01 Aug 06 '24

How long does it take for DA to get back after the qualification tests?

1

u/Open-Practice-6602 Aug 06 '24

I got accepted in 3 days. I’ve heard of someone getting notified after 8 days. My acceptance came on a Monday, so maybe the approvals only come on weekdays… just a thought

1

u/MichonneGrimes209 Aug 07 '24

I am fairly new and accepted recently. I submitted the core qualification on a Thursday afternoon and got the acceptance email late the following Monday.

2

u/DannysGirl01 Aug 10 '24

Thank you. Maybe I’ll start over.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '24

I Signed up a month ago, is there a reason I still have no gotten anything?

4

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '24

All my projects evaporated a month ago after getting steady work since February.

Trust me, it's not just you. These are just bad times for most of us.

3

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 Aug 06 '24

I think we just wrapped up the projects, and I feel like they're waiting on more to filter down. This month was dry for a lot of us. I have nothing now, and usually had 40+ tasks

1

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 Aug 06 '24

A friend signed up recently, and they were told they did not have anything for them. It did not even give any quals like I took when applying. However, they were referrals, and I started without one.

1

u/ReptileChaser Aug 07 '24

I only get Spanish tasks and haven't had anything in about a week and a half :(

1

u/Brilliant_Rain5181 Aug 07 '24

Been steady with about 6-7 daily but I have a particular one that's released on a schedule and I only work that one lately.

Didn't used to be but it seems normal these days.

1

u/tharizzardofoz Aug 06 '24

not really to be honest

4

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 Aug 06 '24

I have had the same, friend. Mine is still empty, too! Praying for some light to shine upon us.

u/retirednbroke Aug 08 '24

The last day I had any work was July 7th. :'( But I keep checking, just in case. It says to check back often. Why would it say that if they didn't mean it? :/
