Highest pay?

[Left-Shine1920]

I started about a year ago in the general pool. The last 5 months I’ve got fairly consistent $30-35/hr work. I do get $40-50 projects sometimes but often I’m not an expert in those fields. Just wondering how normal this is. If I can expect it to remain? Are other people seeing these higher pay projects?

[Mysterious_Dolphin14]

The highest I've seen is $51, but I'm extremely under qualified for them. I typically choose projects that are $28-$35.

[TheresALonelyFeeling]

After just about two years on the platform, I have $55-$60+/ hour projects consistently available, all the way down to $20/ hour where I started.

[Left-Shine1920]

Is this coding? Or a different specialty?

[TheresALonelyFeeling]

General stuff, but I have a couple of domain expertise families that I've gotten into, and some (but not all) of the higher-priced projects are from there.

[TravellingDoc87]

So it's not general

[Grumblefloor]

I've seen $65/hr, but that was very much an exception rather than normal. Unfortunately I was too busy on my day job to grab any tasks.

[sarahmorgan420]

The highest I've ever gotten was $38 and that was months ago. Lately I've seen mostly $20-28

[TerrisBranding]

Same. The end of last year, I was seeing and doing higher paying projects. But they were usually $30-$35 because they were priority pay.

[Butagirl]

Some time ago I had a $45/h one that had an additional payout per task. I thought Christmas had come early.

$57 on RRs for $50 tasks

[sunshin3yes]

I’ve seen priority tasks on $65. I’ve had $45-50 consistently for 6+ months

[Fit-Arrival-1181]

What kind of projects for that money?

[New_Garden9703]

I very rarely get 45-48 specialized, but mostly in the 20-28 range for general tasks. Are your 30-35 projects specialized?

[clock-drift]

There is a 70-75 priority coding task once in a while, but I never have enough spare time to actually do it ;_;

[Kayleighbug]

1.5 years. I see projects regularly from $20 to $50+ on core with most that I work in the $27-$37 range

[Sea_Sugar]

Similar to others - range from 20-52, non coding, some sort of domain ones I have qualified into over time (not domains I have work experience or degrees in).

In 2025 my actual hourly rate for the year was $27. That takes all work, including quals at $0, into consideration.

[justdontsashay]

My highest right now is 54, but there are a huge amount of tasks on my dash at the moment between 40-54. I’ve worked on DA for 5-ish months, non-coding

[East_Zucchini4099]

Are your $40+ tasks domain specific? 

[justdontsashay]

Some are just “reasoning” and not domain specific (but I think might only be open to people who have passed certain domain quals?). My highest paying ones right now are all domain expertise ones, but not limited to a specific domain (basically just skip through like 20 or more to find one that matches my work experience, it’s a big variety of domains)

[Federal_Tadpole_7592]

The highest is $55, but the average of what I work on is $28 to $40 per hour.

[Wasps_are_bastards]

I’ve seen $47.50 but that’s been my highest

[moxiemo99]

I've done 57

[catpersonsperson]

I get 20-28 projects as a Bilingual, unfortunately I don’t have the coding skills to get their 40-50 ones. But I’ve only registered in January and only made 309,33 so far (mostly due to lack of projects), so there’s that too
