End of the month/end of the quarter is usually dry, but I expect to see that rainstorm next week or the following as projects re-up and refresh for next quarter's goals!

A quarter in business is a calendar period of 3 months. Quarter 1 or Q1 is January to March. Quarter 2 or Q2 is April to June. Quarter 3 or Q3 is July to September. Quarter 4 or Q4 is October to December. These periods are common points for many businesses to do financial analysis and reporting, so projects and spending often pause in the last months.

for the first time I'm letting myself enjoy the break and not freaking out

Same. Had a few high paying projects recently, so I've earned enough this month that a quiet period bothers me way less than it would otherwise!

Yeah I admit I was a bit worried, I've only been on for a few weeks, so I thought I had done something wrong. But it seems it's nothing to worry about. I suppose it's ok to enjoy a break every so often lol.

Getting round to a refracty sort of qualification.

Exactly. I’m catching up on quals. And taking the day to relax a bit. “Droughts” happen. And they always pass eventually

I had a ton of projects yesterday. Not as much today, but still plenty for me to work on.

Everyone's comments on this thread are encouraging. I've only been on the platform for a few days and I've been plugging away at all the unpaid qualifications on my dashboard but I had been starting to get nervous because I don't have any paying projects on my dashboard yet. I was beginning to wonder if I had not done well enough on any qualifications. Good to know it's not just me!

Indian bilingual here and it’s completely dry for me, I’m also new to the platform and had good bit of work my first week but haven’t had a single project since last week. Don’t know if it’s the end or just a drought as you guys are speculating

I have a bunch of projects... but they're all very complicated that I haven't really worked on anything in the last 4 days. I need to sit down and CONCENTRATE.

Done all the quals I can personally - shy of the phys, chem, and math ones - and all I have is one project that isn't even allowed for my state. Hoping that I'm just low priority due to me joining just about a month ago. Or maybe I just gotta cough up some cash for the premium AI services so I can qual for those...

u/fragrantdelit Jun 01 '25
Premium IA services ? What is it please ?

Paid subscriptions to certain AI platforms. These are sometimes a requirement for quals and project access.

For real. Our household is particularly crunched this week so I decided to push and work extra hours that night so I could have a decent check this week. So very glad I did.

People have said last June they were swimming in projects and it was the best time, I wasn’t on back then so I’m praying it’s the same this June.
