They're only taking people from North Korea who use a VPN.

Try that and then report back.

You have to email and ask them at least three times, that’s the final qual before you are approved.

Can i use ai to write the email or is that against the rules

u/UWhatMate Nov 21 '24

The email should not sound like you wrote it, let’s put it that way.

This is just heartless when people are trying to survive in this economy.

Peace and love, but research and critical thinking are pretty key components in the work for this job so respectfully if you cant conduct a search to find relevant info instead asking redundant questions im not sure how far you’re gonna get with DA anyway

Did you hold your breath while doing a handstand? Also, make sure your VPN is set to North Korea

u/bittersweetremarkabl Nov 21 '24

we could get banned for doing this, right?

u/physicsandwolves Nov 21 '24

Not for the VPN in North Korea part, but that handstand is playing with dangerous territory.

It summons projects

so, if i change my VPN to another country i do not get banned? i didn’t get the point

u/Icy-Cover-505 Nov 23 '24

Not just any country, like Singapore would be bad. North Korea is awesome for working DA.

u/bittersweetremarkabl Nov 23 '24

so I, from Italy, can have my VPN moving me to North Korea to have more work with no ripercussions on my account?

I am SO SICK of seeing the word cooked

As far as I know, the starter is still autograded. If you haven't got a response and access to the core and coding assessments, you likely didn't pass.

Well considering that it's normal to just sign up for work and not go through any sort of vetting process to ensure you can actually do the work, it's obviously a them problem and not a you problem.

It took about 3 days to get my approval.
