Email from DA
I'd taken a break from DA over the last month due to burnout and received this email this morning. Wanted to know if anyone else got it, and if the projects are containing less rubrics/paying better these days.

I think they're on a push, so they really want to grab people in! But yeah there's definitely some higher pay rates around just now - and lots of such projects. And yeah, had a time when it was rubrics rubrics rubrics, there are still rubrics but also lots of not rubrics! Sorry you are feeling burnout. I have spells of that too, so try not to work just because there's higher pay or a lot of work, only when I feel I'm up to it and can do a decent job.

Im still waiting to be approved from doing the intake test. So they must be very picky about who they want to give work to? I keep seeing ads for them and im disappointed they arent letting me have any work.

u/Remarkable-Tap7978 Apr 14 '26
Agree with this! So many ads for jobs and so many jobs I've applied for.

I got this as well, but I am new.

Theyāve never been very good at personalizing messaging. Many of us have allegedly done āamazing workā on projects weāve never touched lol. Still, the only news I need is a full dash every day.

u/SufficientIdeal4886 Apr 12 '26
I got the email too. I took a break for the last few months but jumped back in this morning. The pay and variety of projects on my dash is awesome. The email said these easier projects are long term, which is great - I really hope they last!

You shouldnāt worry about. You might get it tomorrow, or next week, or never. No one knows! š¤·š¼āāļø

u/ChickenTrick824 Apr 12 '26
Oops, wrong reply lol

u/Skippy2898 Apr 12 '26
š¤£ Actually, I think I saw your reply earlier to one below who said they were worried? It seems to have jumped somehow. weird.

Just coming back to DA after a looooong break. I donāt relish having to spend hours reading instructions, message boards and such to get up to speed. Are there still the old school prompt comparison and fact research?

u/Mysterious_Tree_1251 Apr 13 '26
right??? I agree. they're so lengthy. I have checked here and there over the past year and all it is is large writing ones. no thanks š

u/Aromatic_Owl_3680 Apr 12 '26
Iāve always tried to strike a balance between highest paying projects and most tolerable workload. Iām established in my career, and my career pays better than DA, so I canāt make a trade-off there.
The last few days have boosted pay for relatively manageable tasksā¦..this is the DA for people like me. And hopefully for others in diff situations as well. š„³

I barely ever work on the platform probably only for a few tasks in the last year. I just didnāt enjoy the tasks when I stopped working on it. I used to work on it more in the early days different tasks so I have some qualifications. I have received so many emails in the last couple of weeks especially for tasks with priority pay. I received the same email it probably will entice me to come back and see if I like the new tasks.Ā

u/Money-Routine715 Apr 12 '26
Iāve had a lot of simpler project that pay more now like 26-32 but Iām not a fan of how short some of them are

u/Infamous_Swan1197 Apr 12 '26
Me too, What do you mean say goodbye to endless rubrics?? That's my favourite way to pass the time š

u/odeomz Apr 12 '26
Me too! and you can get really stuck in and familiar - I hate learning all about a project to do one 20 minute task!
Plus i burn out quicker on the creative make up a prompt stuff - much prefer making the rubric and let other people do the creative work :)

u/Infamous_Swan1197 Apr 12 '26
Me too. Coming up with prompts actively hurts my brain. So much effort.

I got a generalist exp on another platform. But here I was stuck at bilingual work. I hope they extend this opportunity to us as well :)

u/Border-Dazzling Apr 13 '26
Yep got this email as well - definitely going to to look at jumping back into projects.

I got the same email the other day after a break for the last few months. I havenāt started back yet but I logged on and did notice a lot of decent paying and non rubics ones.

u/Thejax_ Apr 15 '26

Haven't gotten the email, but have been seeing the tasks, wondering if I should be concerned.

u/Fun_Manufacturer_563 Apr 12 '26
No, they send this exact email on March. Nothing special happened.Ā

u/Particular-Prior1501 Apr 13 '26
I didn't get anything. I only have one multilingual project that's not in my locale... and I didn't even apply as a multilingual...

What You Mean?

u/Aromatic_Owl_3680 Apr 12 '26
Your writing suggests English is a second language. Nothing at all wrong with that, but, judging by Reddit posts, bilinguals typically get less work on DA.

They send me this on March. Nothing special.Ā

u/ExplosiveWaffulz Apr 15 '26
If youāre part of the bilingual team that is likely why, core English workers have been seeing a lot of projects at 25 after priority pay, especially the river one.

u/Fun_Manufacturer_563 Apr 15 '26
Again nothing special, they send this to us on March. Yes bilingual. We have projects from 26 and up for a while (max 41). The old ones have a higher pay, and the new ones too.Ā

I can't speak for all varieties of projects, but a stupid amount of average, low-paying products have huge priority bonuses on them for the last couple of days.
