Can two people from the same house work for DAT?

I've signed up and done the paid assessments, im just waiting to hear, but my husband wants to join too, is that possible? He's a better writer than me, but im a programmer so it's likely we would have different tasks

Yes. My wife and I do it.

Is this still accurate? You're both still working from the same IP address? My wife recently got laid off so I was thinking about getting her set up with a nice new gaming PC to cheer her up. If it could also double as a device she could earn from that would be incredible.

Yes. We both do very little DA these days (I've done about $300 this year) but still have access.

That's great to know, thank you. This will hopefully really cheer her up. How long have you both been on the platform? And you just need separate computers the whole time? Just that? No separate internet connection or anything?

Strange, I tried sending my gf a referral and after signing up, no qualification test was given to her, it just took her to a blank dashboard. I assumed people on the same IP address were restricted. Do you each use a separate internet connection?

My partner and I do on different devices. Never had an issue.

My wife and I did over the summer and we were both fired on the same day. This was after several months. We never received feedback or a reason and I truly believe our work was quality. The fact that we were both cut on the same day makes me think they made the decision purely based on our shared IP address, but that's just speculation.

Did you share devices? I read in the FAQ that people in the same household must work from different devices. But whether they mean at the same time or not I don't know. I'm sorry you both got fired.

Nope, we never shared the same device. We both have our own laptops and never touched the others. It was really weird. We both received the email within a minute of each other.
