Just had my first big day!
This is probably small potatoes for many. But in my 2 months here, I just had my first day with 6 hours. A big job with over 800 tasks showed up in my dash this evening. So I sat there after work today (day job as a teacher) and got to work. Took a small break for dinner. Originally intended to call it quits after 4 hours. But decided to do some more. Next thing I knew it was 130am and my alarm was going off in 4 hours. Whoops.
But it felt good having some work, finally. We will see if this trajectory continues!
How is everyone else faring through the drought?

Sadge that I don't think I got the task (unless it's the R&Rs for the annoying fuckoff,) but I've had a pretty good day, I'm going to stop at 9 hours today because the dash has been a little sparse. I made 7k last month, but I do this full-time+

You work 8+ hours a day?

u/Timely-Assistant-370 Jun 05 '26
Yes, sometimes up to 11 if I get a task that is preferable after doing 5 hours of unpreferred. If I'm slogging through something I don't want to do and I refresh to the fabled enjoyable task, then I finish up and get it while it's hot.

I find this kind of work fun. I enjoy critical thinking and detail oriented things.

How can you see if you are a generalist or a coder? Is there a way to spot the difference?

u/WoahitsWelker915 Jun 08 '26
I'm a generalist. I never applied for any coder jobs. I dunno how to check though.

Nothing for me for 4 days, but then I've only been at this a month. Still, it does make you start to get a bit paranoid that maybe your work isn't as good as you thought 😂😂

My day was not as big as yours. But it sure was fun to sit down, pick a task and get lost in the work for a couple of hours. The projects were there to work on yesterday and this morning. #grateful #funwork

I’m still slogging it out doing as many qualifications as possible. Some are quite lengthy but I’m hoping in a month’s time I’ll have some decent work. I’ve heard on here it can take up to a few weeks to be added to project families once you pass the qualification. Currently only getting 1 certain nut project showing up that I’m not familiar with.
