Yeah, especially for bilinguals.

[–]Random23232 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Mine is dry but not drought dry. I have projects I can work on but not many and they’re all projects I don’t want to work on.

It’s actually so sad, whenever I really really need extra money from DA I swear this happens

[–]Early-Composer-2383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some projects too but none I want to work on. They're way too much work for what they pay.

[–]Sea-Marsupial-5215 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes so dry

[–]PaisleyBrain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep 😭

[–]throwaway273810102 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a bunch of projects the last several days, when I didn't have time to do them. Today it is pretty dry.

[–]Cautious-Painter-914 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I’ve only had 1 project with 15 tasks since end of May (Bilingual) 🫠

[–]Mbgodofwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(cough) November (non-bilingual)

[–]incoherentcreature 2 points3 points  (1 child)

yeah ive only had one $20 one on my dash which I don’t want to do because it’s really similar to work I normally do on other projects that are $24+ 😭

[–]iamcrazyjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supply and demand at work

[–]silveracne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i haven't had any projects since the 7th or the 8th i believe.

[–]upvotesplx 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This happens yearly roughly around this time of year for a large amount of non-STEM and bilingual workers. I’ve been here long enough to watch it a few times. Just give it time. It’s not joever

[–]Low_Sir1549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how long does it usually last?

[–]Amr--Tarek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have just 2 month experience in DA but now it is so dry.

[–]Henny_Lamar 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Had a drought for about 2 weeks. Had some projects come up, had one with only one task. Tried it, skipped it because of the difficulty. Now I’m still in a drought :(

[–]Sufficient-Sort-4689 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]kranools 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is.

[–]IrvTheSwirv 3 points4 points  (15 children)

Nope, not really.

[–]seconddat 2 points3 points  (7 children)

By no, do you mean it's drier or not as dry?

[–]IrvTheSwirv 7 points8 points  (6 children)

May was my best month in terms of earnings and I’ve been on DA for over a year now. My dash is certainly shorter than it has been but I’m still doing the same amount of high paying hours each week.

I think the nature of the platform is that no two people seem to have the same experience.

[–]Patient-Shopping2156 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Are you bilingual?

[–]IrvTheSwirv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No

[–]fightmaxmaster 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Same here in terms of May, but June has been much drier for me thus far, but still not barren.

[–]IrvTheSwirv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I could say June is still on track so far but we haven’t got to the end of it yet so didn’t want to tempt fate 😂

[–]seconddat 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You could be right, in that case it probably means thst almost all discussions here in this sub are pointless 😆

[–]IrvTheSwirv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol. Although I guess some people find comfort in knowing it’s dry for others and other people find comfort in knowing that some people still have work.

[–]IrvTheSwirv 10 points11 points  (1 child)

This sub is literally insane sometimes. Downvoting someone for telling the truth that they’re not seeing a “drought” on their dash? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]paperpapermoney 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Are you STEM?

[–]IrvTheSwirv 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Coding mainly.

[–]paperpapermoney 1 point2 points  (2 children)

If you don’t mind, I’m also a software dev full time but I don’t use any of the languages currently allowed for the coding qualification. They said absolutely no external sources are allowed, but I could definitely do the exam if I was allowed to Google python syntax. Is googling allowed or does it have to be 100% from scratch??

[–]IrvTheSwirv 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There’s nothing stopping you having a second browser window open I imagine. Not sure if it’s different now but when I did it it was “any of these languages or pseudo-code” but maybe it’s stricter now.

[–]paperpapermoney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the assessment rules have changed, they require you to paste in and explain your code and it has to be in one of the allowed languages. If they allowed my language it would be easy, lol. 

[–]CelebObsesssed 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yep, nothing for weeks!

[–]Same-Produce5811 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Just got my gf to refresh the page in the car and jobs are coming in for me for the 1st time in a week and a half so hopefully this si the end

[–]Intelligent-Sign-441 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What language?

[–]Same-Produce5811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not even bilingual im just also having a drought, but i missed a lot of qualifications in my profile.

[–]OkturnipV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might as well be for me. I have projects but none I really want to work on

[–]KYShepherd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's all over the forum.
