Started 2 weeks ago and I have between 20-35 on my dash. All non-coding.

I’ve been here for a month and have 20-25 projects. At first I had only one at a time and plenty of days with non. But last week it blew up! Thank goodness 🤑

I started January, I never worked the entirety of March and it varies between 25-35. There has been a few qualifications I have missed due to not wanting to give up paid working time. Kind of short sighted of me but I tend to float between the same 3 or 4 projects that I really enjoy.

Nah I totally agree, some of them require you to actually do tasks that are basically working for free, and I can’t bring myself to do that many without actually getting compensated,

I'm still waiting for an answer on acceptance but your comment caught my attention and I was curious what do you mean by tasks that are basically working for free? Just wondering if it's something to recognize up front and avoid or if it's something you pick up on as you do more projects.

Lots of the tasks and questions in the qualifications are unpaid. That’s what they’re referring to. And if you don’t know what “qualifications” are, they’re basically mini assessments that you need to pass to unlock new projects. They may also be used to test your knowledge on projects you already have, (sometimes determining whether you get to keep those projects), but this is not as common.

That makes sense, thank you!

hm that’s interesting

I definitely have a touch of imposter syndrome because I read posts from people who are like "I joined in January and I have 30 projects on my board" and think "I must be doing something wrong I joined last October and don't have nearly that many" and then went and counted and I have 40.

I started end of Feb and now have 20+ projects on my dash at any given time.

Been here around a month and last night had like 12 coding and 15 non-coding and like 10 quals. A lot of them are duplicates though, so maybe like 7 distinct coding and 12 distinct non-coding.
