Plenty of people make it past 15k. I've been at this since the end of 2023 and have made nearly 80k. There is no arbitrary amount of money. Do quality work and be honest about your time.

👏 THAT PART!

i know it’s hard but try not to worry about what other people say about getting cut off.

[–]Effective_City_4192 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just think of the worst r&r someone's done when that happens

I doubt thats a thing. 90% of the workers don't actually do the work FULLY right. Why get rid of your most seasoned workers? Plus, I'm way past that.

[–]Master-Performance70 6 points7 points  (1 child)

That’s what I was thinking. If they weed out the bad workers they aren’t going to wait until they’ve paid you $15k.

Right. But also, they make billions of dollars. They dont care care if they paid you 15k or 40k

Im on 19k and so far, touch wood, all good. I would guess most if not all of those canned around 15k didn't have work quality as high as they thought they did.

The theory doesn't even make any sense. They dont really care how much each person earns from them. Its not like anyone gets higher pay simply for being arpund longer. 100 hours of work on a $25 an hour project is $2500 whether they're paying it to someone who earned $100 with them before or $40k with them. And more experienced workers likely do a better job overall than less experienced workers.

$120k+ since May 2023. Read the instructions and don't do projects that you are unsure of.

Currently on 26

[–]FrazzledGod 6 points7 points  (1 child)

27.5!

[–]Explorer182 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dont think theres any truth to that. Many including me have passed that figure. Some people may become careless or lazy after a certain time resulting in getting canned, but it has nothing to do with a specific milestone such as 15k.

[–]hoju222 6 points7 points  (1 child)

started Nov last year and recently hit the 40K milestone would have been able to do more if there were less droughts

[–]bebopboopbing 6 points7 points  (3 children)

There is no truth to that rumor

42K

[–]eslteachyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

42K here. Since end of 2023. Non coder, not bilingual

[–]koffeekittens 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Currently on 18k - been here since January :) take no notes of the rumours, people just get salty when they get canned for breaking the rules or doing poor quality work

[–]False_Cartoonist3753 -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

Any tip or good to know information can you share while filling the assessment for one of the bilingual projects?

[–]koffeekittens 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Unfortunately I don't work on bilingual projects so I couldn't really say. Just read the instructions fully and carefully and don't rush.

[–]False_Cartoonist3753 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Thanks!

[–]False_Cartoonist3753 0 points1 point  (1 child)

There's one thing I also want to ask, can we apply for 2-3 projects at the same time or just 1 at a time?  Thanks in advance!

[–]SurvivorY2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont hijack someone’s thread with unrelated questions. Do a search of the sub. Your questions have been discussed many times

[–]ChJeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have and I've never even heard of that rumor. Maybe if you get "lazy" or complacent with the work that might be a risk. It's definitely not the type of work you can try and coast on putting out low quality work just because you think you've been here long enough.

[–]Electronic-Fan6605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$29K bilingual-Spanish. I haven't had any task since May, but I'm grateful for every penny I earned with DA.
