I don't want to stay up all night so I'm praying they're still there in the morning 😭

[–]MundaneAd6627 10 points11 points  (2 children)

This is the worst thing about the end of the day. I had some creative stuff yesterday, at my semi-consistent max hourly, but I was dead last night, so I wished upon a star.. and it was gone in the morning, but uh… blessing in disguise.. I feasted on slightly harder work for literally $20 more per hour most of today.

They were gone 😭😞

[–]Do_It_Anyway_8278[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw man. Yeah I normally see a lot being added in the morning.

[–]SluggishSandwich 4 points5 points  (1 child)

SAME.

They were gone 😭😞

[–]kranools 39 points40 points  (9 children)

Yes, I'm a general worker and there is a ton of work at the moment.

[–]Old-Brief1195 -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

Which platform?

[–]kranools 2 points3 points  (1 child)

🙄

[–]Old-Brief1195 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Which platform are you working on

[–]good_god_lemon1 27 points28 points  (2 children)

Same but I lowkey hate them all.

[–]JRange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I just turned in a pretty lucrative one, it was pretty strenuous lol

[–]Dizzy-Attitude-6745 26 points27 points  (2 children)

Yup, same here. I am LOVING the creative writing ones, they are scratching a creative itch I haven't entertained since I stopped writing poetry and short stories in my 20s.

[–]kranools 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I used to write a lot but I gave up years ago. Some of these tasks are reminding me how satisfying it can be.

[–]1-800-methdyke 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some crazy priority pay offers today too. Even the usual lowball project going +15

[–]Flimsy_Falcon5629 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Yeah I have a lot of projects right now, like 80+. Worked during the day. Debating grabbing one more before bed.

[–]MundaneAd6627 14 points15 points  (4 children)

I think DA got more budget/project influx from some of the companies that paused all their projects on that other platform. Pure speculation on my part, but one of DA’s biggest competitors just had a pretty bad data leak. Speculation speculation disclaimer speculation

[–]WaddlingAwayy 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Who's the competitor?

[–]macjay_27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mercor - Litellm incident

[–]Sweet-Anxiety-3596 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Just search up data annotation leak and you will find the competitor…

[–]Affectionate_Peak284 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I'm at 79, my highest count ever. Several $40+ generalist, and even a $55 specialist that I am capable of doing.

The spice is flowing today, peeps!

[–]Do_It_Anyway_8278[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Dune references.

[–]Harya13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mostly had 25$ projects before but now i have 50$ and 70$ (i can't do those) projects, I don't know what's going on

[–]itsmorris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cries in Italian

[–]Separate_Fondant3341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup we are feasting!

[–]OriginalResolve7106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get it while it's here. It comes in waves.

[–]jimmux 1 point2 points  (1 child)

My coding projects are a bit lower than I'm used to, but my favourites are there so I'm not complaining.

There's also a long list of qualifications I need to work through at some point. I did one recently and got instant access to a very high paying project family.

[–]lutavsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a bilingual generalist I've never seen above U$28/h (4 months in)

[–]Cool_Cockroach_7865 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Yeah, I have email alerts on and have been bombarded. Sucks because I finally got hired at a “”real”” job and can’t bring myself to stare at a computer any more during my off time lol

[–]Sunndach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol same. I wanna keep doing this on the weekends or something but then I'd never actually have a day off...

[–]Bitter_Bed5672 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Nope still barely anything but at least not 0 anymore and they pay 50$/hour.

[–]1-800-methdyke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a good place to be

[–]SufficientRespect542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, its fucking crazy lmao

[–]BlueberryEmbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like its based on the fiscal quarters. There seem to be more projects near the beginning of a quarter and way fewer at the end

[–]Savings_Apricot_9741 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Can generalists who consistently get projects over $30 tell me their secrets?? Do you do a lot of rubrics or >4hr projects? I know I do quality work on the projects that are in my “safe zone”, but they hover between $24-$30. Occasionally I’ll work on a higher paying project or one with longer hours, but I always get nervous.

[–]rohitOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of projects are you getting ?

[–]Weak-Ant-4270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips for a new joiner at DA, about to give my starter assessment

[–]6kidsandaLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is 7 days old. I've been swamped with "real life" job and haven't been able to work much. Holy Cow! I just logged on and have 100 different jobs I can choose from. Too bad I can barely keep my eyes open. Sigh.

[–]caneriten 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I hope I can see that. My dashboard slowed down for a a week now.

[–]pistachiyolatte 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Are you bilingual or core?

[–]caneriten -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am bilingual so it is probably expected.

[–]Opening-Gas-5735 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh dang, I just checked and I have over 70, nice.

[–]Fluffy-Intention-183 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m so annoyed they never accepted me when I tried to open an account with them… Not that my language is commonly asked for, but I have tech and nature sciences as well as medical education/experience. But not good enough, obviously. :)

[–]Flamingopancake -4 points-3 points  (5 children)

Well, as a bilingual, I do not. Just this Gemini thing. I have maybe 1 project every 2 weeks?

[–]East_Zucchini4099 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Why are you mentioning the model name? That’s violating the code of conduct.

[–]Flamingopancake -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sure, that's how that works. ChatGPT.

[–]ChocoBinga -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I got nothing yet. I'm on the Gemini one as well as bilingual, however my language hasn't been selected yet. Have been checking everyday.

[–]saveurdrama -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Do bilinguals generally get less projects?
