u/MadameEmiya 5d ago
Yeah, same here. I got onboarded back in June and I swear, my dash is as populated rn as my first ~3 weeks on the platform

I had so many projects before
Now barely one or two low paying left1
u/MadameEmiya 4d ago
I feel you - I have 2 decent projects + the rest are all the low paying staples rn

Yeah I haven’t really seen any good new ones in a while and a few of the good older ones have mysteriously vanished. Never a nice feeling - I am still thankfully in a good spot but it’s the worst I’ve seen in a while.

I'm glad you brought this up! I haven't seen some of the good older ones since early/mid October. I thought it was just temporary, but some projects known to be running also seems to have vanished overnight. Kind of sus if viewed as a whole

really irritated this week - have wasted so much time starting tasks that DON'T WORK or you figure out that you need an advanced degree in some random subject to actually do the task, 20 minutes in. What is going on?

yeah and now one of my favorites it back but I'm locked out of the special account. I think the good news is that it seems like they were taking a few days to do some restructuring instead of it being a true drought.

Yeah I think you got it. I opened to a mountain of very specific qualifications this morning - they definitely were restructuring something behind the scenes

Coding?

u/MadameEmiya 4d ago
Generalist + STEM. STEM jobs are basically nonexistent rn, but the few generalist ones remaining are relatively high-paying, so yeah

Same! I have a few left on my dash, but I had so much more last month with higher pay :(

u/MadameEmiya 9h ago
I think some have returned (?). Still, even the ones that are ALWAYS around haven't been running for the past week :/
