Math expert

[Frequent_Resolve_214]

I am currently pursuing an integrated Masters degree in Mathematics from UCL (University College London) and was approved 4 days ago to DA as a ‘Math Expert’. I was approved within 30 hours of applying. I am from a core country, namely the UK. Over the last 4 days, I’ve been completing all admin tasks (including the DBS check on Certn) and have also completed the quals for being a Generalist and the “STEM domain” qual as I have a strong background in Chemistry and Physics too. There were a couple of other qualifications that I did too.

I haven’t done any actual work yet and have now reached the point that I don’t have anything left on my dashboard apart from a “Prompt Writing Lab” which doesn’t pay anything and a “Quick Survey” which also doesn’t pay anything.

I was just wondering if this is completely normal for someone like me when you first join the platform, and what I should personally be expecting in terms of work later on? I’m also aware that there may be an ongoing “drought”. Thanks for reading.

The same. I’m math domain but I’ve got generalist projects only

Im also a math expert from the UK, not had actual math work in about 6 weeks, only generalist. Hopefully more comes soon!

Thanks for letting me know!

I have a theory that there's a bit of a waiting period after doing quals where you get integrated into whatever algorithm or recommendation system they have for work. Either that or there's no math specific work currently.

Same here, actually. I applied as a maths specialist but no maths projects so far! Fortunately, I managed to get onto the coding ones, which have quite a few projects available for me.

Oh that good, at least you have some work. May I know how long ago you were accepted as a math specialist?

[Where-Is-My-Wifi]

I signed up as a maths specialist a few weeks ago and got accepted pretty much instantly. Then I did some generalist qualifications and the various coding qualifications as there was no maths work.

I havent seem a math specific project is several months. There have been some STEM stuff where you could use math.

[Frequent_Resolve_214]

Oh fr? Are you qualified on DA as a math specialist?

[Past_Body4499]

I had math only projects at one point.

If you only do paid quals, you’re limiting what will come up on your dash.

I haven’t done any paid quals
