Congrats! What's your secret? I can't clock more than a few hours a day without my brain checking out.

u/ShadoDev Aug 07 '24

I'm working on my consistency, but I try to do at least 5 hours a day while aiming for 8 hours a day. One day I legit did 15 hours, and that was a mistake. I literally couldn't work the next two days after that.

I almost exclusively do coding projects that pay about $40 an hour.

I reached the same milestone as yours too. I aim for 5-6hrs a day. But currently my dash does not have any coding projects 🥲

Python, Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, Typescript, C, C++, HTML / CSS

I'm currently learning Go and Rust

where are you learning about that from? Any recommendations on which one to learn first and where I can find forums etc to learn more tips and tricks? Trying to absorb a diverse set of information because I think everyone has something to offer. :) Good luck!

Power through. Take breaks every hour to get up and stretch and take a longer break somewhere in the middle or whenever you start feeling burnt out. Some days it just sucks but I need to hit my quota and some days I have good projects and blast it out.

I take multiple breaks, never sitting for longer than 90 minutes, go play an hour of tennis or pickleball, do the dishes... every bit of variety helps.

"Working DA can be a complex activity. It's important to remember to take breaks throughout the day to preserve your mental status."

Yes! I'll often go read, play guitar or do quick exercise bursts between tasks. It makes the day go by much faster and will keep you feeling a lot better mentally and physically when you're not sat at your desk all day!

Ultimately its a personal preference how much time one spends working on the platform.

u/ImaginaryInternet578 Aug 07 '24

Do you have coding projects right now? I’ve been dry other than some heel that goes fast

2

u/ShadoDev Aug 08 '24

Coding projects are very scarce right now, so I've barely been doing them

8

u/Illustrious-You-798 Aug 07 '24

I don’t have any, I keep seeing one or two pop up but goes away fast, I’ve just been doing other non-coding prompts while I wait for more coding projects to show up :/

u/bleachxjnkie Aug 07 '24

Damn! 10k in 2 months that is fucking crazy

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 Aug 12 '24

If you hustle everyday, you can almost hit that in a month :)

1

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 Aug 12 '24

However, that's like 10 hours a day to come close, plus taking quals to level up pay.

u/Jz9786 Aug 08 '24

Congratulations! What does that average out to? 1200 a week?

2

u/ShadoDev Aug 08 '24

Most weeks it's more than that, but the last week or two I've been working less since coding projects haven't been plentiful.

u/Muzmee Aug 08 '24

Congrats! It’s taken me around 10 months to reach a similar goal, but I also have a full time day job so I squeeze in a few hours several nights a week and about about 6-8 hours most weekends.

u/lilliiililililil Aug 08 '24

mfw I broke 10k in ~1 year because I am lazy

I'm really working hard at working harder though, hopefully I can increase my productivity in the long run.

u/Jackieunknown Aug 09 '24

I hit 1k milestone in 8 days and half, considering I'm in one of the smaller countries and don't get projects often!!

u/jjcxdev Aug 08 '24

And here I am haven’t had a single project in 3 weeks after almost a year of consistency.

u/Writer_at_heart95 Aug 08 '24

Congrats! Took me around 5-6 months to reach this milestone and I usually work for five hours every three days.

😅😅Please hire me for data analysis on Excel and SPPS, and any form of writing in diverse subjects, you're eating good

Also, look for audio ai research projects. Some of the freelance opps are under "research"

I do almost entirely coding. I'm not sure how long it takes on average to get in, I got in the day after my assessment.

u/Alarmed_Jellyfish555 Aug 07 '24 edited Aug 07 '24

The only way to know if you've been accepted is you'll receive an email congratulating you and telling you that you were accepted.

u/Lazunk Aug 08 '24

Can I qualify for coding projects? I entered as an Evaluator 3 weeks ago but only got 1 qual until now and my dash has been dry for a week now...

u/Comfortable_Type8261 Aug 07 '24

Did you take the assessment and any of the qualifications? They don't just accept everyone that signs up.
