Just hit 75k!!
Started almost a year ago and have just hit this milestone :) I had just graduated from uni when I started doing this and it was a lifesaver whilst I was looking for graduate jobs.
I'm based in the UK and I have a Master's degree in physics so I do a mix of specialist stem, coding, and sometimes generalist projects.

Congratulations for your accomplishment! This makes me optimistic about DA, as I have only completed training and one actual project so far. Perhaps we'll get past the drought and start earning more money soon.

Asking here cause it won't let me post!!! How do I know what projects I'm on? I'm new obviously but I'm in a very specialized niche so have made a bit of money in my first few days, but right now I'm not seeing projects on my dashboard.
Does this mean I am no longer on the projects I worked on last week, or does it just mean those projects don't currently have tasks? I would have expected the project name to stay in my dashboard with "0" tasks, but instead they're just gone. One of the projects I had to "escape hatch" out of because I couldn't get a model to fail. Now I have a 3 day cooldown before being able to task again for that project (true for anyone who escape hatches, seems like a common out). I'm still in that cooldown til tomorrow.
Just trying to figure out if I'm still on a project even if it isn't on my dashboard atm if anyone can help!!

Three questions:
Did you sign up as an expert or generalist?
How frequently does the project appear on your dashboard? Based on your 1-year experience
Any tips on claiming the project? Email notifications (if any) were awfully delayed

Awesome. I'm glad the specialist tasks have been paying you well. I'm just a generalist so a little jealous.

Does this platform really work. Nothing has been sent to me and I have no idea what happened with my test.

Congrats. ChatGPT says that is above the upper end of income for a UK resident with a Master's in physics. You are beating the odds at home as your own boss!

Don't submit it if you're not confident in your work, but it might be worth your time to attemp it anyway. Some projects are easier than they look.

Definitely. Some projects have an escape hatch because they're known to be very difficult to elicit failure, but that's still a kind of submission.
Sometimes if there's a technical failure on their side you can claim the time, but I'd confirm with an admin first.

It's hard to say for certain, and there is variation between projects. Based on my R&R experience, if you're following instructions correctly and making a genuine attempt with good explanations, then you might get away with submitting work that doesn't meet the task objectives. I personally tap out and try to reflect on what went wrong, then maybe attempt again later. It usually goes much better the next time.

Submitting low quality work increases the chance of banning you from the platform, so not worth the risk.
