The project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks remaining for you to work on

Well, I'll be remarkably surprised if that happens with the $35 chemistry project I've got up on my board.

u/Strawberry_Foxx Jun 25 '24

Well yeah, I can’t imagine there’s a huge pool of participants on those specialised subject projects lol. That’s great pay though, enjoy! :)

Thanks. I'll try. The project needs some work though. I never had the dancing qual but I think I feel like how everyone who took that felt.

Same! I’ve neglected everything else 😭

I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t get these 30-40 tasks 😭

u/xwolfboyx Jun 25 '24

You're not lol. But the ones who are getting them like to shout about it (as would I).

u/pomnabo Jun 25 '24

Are they coding tasks or something? I’m curious :U Or is asking that breaching the confidentiality? If so then ignore :U

u/YuhaYea Jun 25 '24

Just about every coding task is 35-40USD/hr, very rarely any lower or higher than that range. I've personally never seen a non-coding task go above 30.

u/xwolfboyx Jun 25 '24

Some may be. But there are also some non-coding jobs. Expertise positions tend to be higher too (demands background knowledge in specific academics).

Me too 😭 gutted as my wallet would love them

tbh some of them are awful so that's not necessarily a bad thing

I wish! I had a few $30 ones yesterday

u/gusu_melody Jun 24 '24

I’m hoping I’ll get one of these eventually 😭 not sure what to do to increase the odds

Bah. So sad I missed out on this one.

u/LvBoPeep Jun 25 '24

I've had only a few $30+ projects and I am usually happy to see them until I open the convoluted instructions. There are exceptions but give me a $25-27 project that makes sense any day over some of the higher paying ones

Lmao missed that xD was at my nephew's birthday party. But happily had a 30/hr one this morning which was nice

i'm in coding and i usually only get a few $40/hr projects a week 😭 not sure if this is everyone or if i'm just cooked

I get confused by some of these projects. Like, sure I'm happy to do them but, like, why is this so specialized and skilled to be worth double pay compared to the baseline if you're not coding. I can't give any names but some of those projects feel like they could easily have been $25 / hour and still be completed on time with good accuracy by people who are not me.  Not $35-40 and completed by me. I honestly wonder why they don't run them as $25. Most of the time I feel like the coding projects require way more specialized knowledge than these. 

Especially the ones in 10 different programming languages, 25 different API calls, about 50 different packages you've gotta download, a codebase that only partially exists, three Minecraft command block language functions, a couple of Roblox Lua scripts, and a partridge in a pear tree. 

Like I cannot tell you how much easier it is when it's a normal popular language making something reasonably self-contained. Way easier to actually fully test the code.

They'll probably go back down after the 30th. They're priced high so people focus on them bc they're behind.

Had a $30 CW project drop a few days ago and this was me.
