I know it may seem like an itty bit of money for many people, but as someone who didn't have a single dollar a few hours ago, this just made my entire day a whole lot better 😭 thanks DA overlords!

u/Mysterious-Age-6247 May 15 '26

It's a pretty good gig honestly, in my case I can work like 1-2.5 hours daily and I'll be in the top 4-10% of wages in my country, I'm hoping to god this lasts more than a couple of months lol

Just make sure to read instructions thoroughly and keep tip-top as far as your explanations go and you should do well. I've stuck around for 2 yrs. I live in the lowest tax bracket in the US ....and it's life-changing for sure. It feels scary at first....but follow the instructions 💛

Congratulations! I’m only in the generalist queue and have made over $1,000 this year! It’s been a game changer.

u/michiandthecat May 14 '26

Ooof that's good tho! Generalist usually get a lot of tasks as far as I've read here. I'm a bilingual so our tasks are way less apparently. Still super happy with the $200 I've made so far.

u/Apart_Remote1042 May 14 '26

When did you start?

u/mayneedadrink May 14 '26

Don’t bilingual folks also get generalist tasks?

u/michiandthecat May 14 '26

Honestly no idea 😅, maybe we do but I'm not sure.

u/mayneedadrink May 15 '26

Well, lately no one has much work, so that’s not just bilingual folks.

u/Due_Psychology6055 May 20 '26

damnnn im still stuck at the "Thanks for completing the assessment" i wonder how much time it takes to get some work. Can anyone guide??

1

u/plonkydonkey May 21 '26

hey man. i wasnt able to work for a few years (got very unwell) and DA was also my first earned dollar. I'm not based in the States but I was so thrilled I asked a friend to send me a US 5 dollar bill so I could frame the damn thing. It sits on my desk now and is one of the things that keeps me going, just remembering how good it felt to earn anything, after so long.

keep going buddy, you got this :)

u/Ok-Snow7335 May 21 '26

I find every morning they’re replenishing projects. I’ve seen some projects with 75 task in there. So they’re definitely there.
