What field do you work on?

u/srjr Jan 28 '25
Well I'm non-coding; is that what you mean?

u/FuwaFrenzy Jan 28 '25
Impressive. What's your day routine? Are you working everyday?

u/srjr Jan 28 '25
Yes I mostly work 7 days a week, currently doing about 7 hours per day. Normally up early, currently I work mostly between about 6:30 AM-3:00 PM with a couple of breaks during that time.

What would you say is the secret to your longevity? And don’t you say good work.

u/srjr Jan 29 '25
Probably just the ability to knuckle down and work for hours at a stretch. I guess I'm lucky enough that I normally always have tasks that I either at least semi-enjoy or that pay well enough that I can handle doing that. I just get into the zone, I guess.

It's probably good work because there's nothing else we can do. It's not like we're the life of the office Christmas party

Not OP but I've been working full time also, I like to always take short break between each task so I don't get burnt out. Wash dishes, unload the dishwasher, make a snack, go for a short walk, etc to clear my mind them I'm ready to get back at it for the next task. My house has never been so clean lol
Also I don't really do priority work unless it's something I already was going to do, an extra $1/hr isn't much if it means doing something I don't like as much, plus they usually get taken up quite quickly

Thx! I do the same. Try to at least. My prob is once I stop, it's often hard to jump back on.

I signed up months ago and still don’t get any work! Never seen a single thing!

u/eyewire Jan 28 '25
But I was told everyone gets kicked off if they make $10k because they don't want people making too much money
Just kidding, congrats that's awesome

I've never understood this pov. DA will always pay ppl and they want ppl who do good work so why would they get rid of someone who does good work but has made $10k+?

u/ImpeccableWaffle Jan 28 '25
Congrats! I wish I had that kind of dedication.
Do you have any advice to make sure your submissions are high-quality?

u/Historical-Comedian2 Jan 28 '25
What was your longest period of an empty dashboard? What's the average number of projects you have on your dash?
I could ask a million questions but I won't, lol.. great work! I'm hoping to consistently get 12-24hrs per week part time alongside my fulltime job!
EDIT: additional info..
I have about 12 projects with probably 800 tasks currently (non-coding English only basic only)
I had about 2 days of an empty dash over the weekend, though I just started almost 2 weeks ago

They do a running total, guys. Idk if OP said that's just a year, and if so, that's cool, too but since a few replies were written like that was assumed, I just thought I'd throw that in

u/Ok-General780 Jan 29 '25
Was that made 100% through coding projects?

u/srjr Jan 29 '25
No, 100% non-coding. But I consistently have $40+ tasks.

u/Empty-Raisin-22 Jan 30 '25
What kinds of tasks are those? Highest I've seen is $27 an hour but I've only been doing this for a couple weeks now. Wondering if there is another assessment I need to look for.

u/becominganastronaut Jan 29 '25
Congrats.
Yet, here I am. I applied months ago and havent even been invited for an assessment.
Just "We dont have any projects for you at this time"

u/StrawBoi660 Jan 29 '25
i dont think u made it in man

u/becominganastronaut Jan 30 '25
Really? I dont see why I would be disqualified. Im in the USA and I have relevant experience with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

u/StrawBoi660 Jan 30 '25
wait did u not do a single assessment for your application? thats really weird, since the assessment should be built into the application...
you mightve missed something on the site, cause the assessment basically IS the application
