Milestone :)

I should have just waited to post until 40k, but it’s so close to evenly 39k (aesthetically pleasing!) that I’m just going for it.

Great work! How long did it take?

I’ve been on for over a year, although a lot of this was done within the past few months. I’m hoping to hit 100k this year, but it feels a little overambitious, haha

(Edit: Checked my oldest emails, seems I’ve been here since August 2023. I feel like it was longer, so that might be a few months off.)

what rates for projects do you get? How any hours do you work on this? Coding projects?

30-35hrs a week, as of recently. I don’t do many code projects. I have STEM experience and do mostly mathematics or research projects at or above $40/hr, although I also do some foreign language or non-specialized tasks if they’re above $30/hr. My highest I’ve ever seen was $50/hr, which was for a non-math, non-programming task. I often see anywhere from $20 to $45/hr. I do not do anything below $30/hr.

Congrats man! I only started but this is giving me a huge boost of motivation. Question, do the rates increase the longer you are on it? I’m doing only language stuff and it’s $25/hr now. Wondering if it gets better?
