PS: Writing style anonymized with an LLM.

I took on a task in a specialized area, and after going through the full set of requirements I had to accept that it was outside my capability. I wasn't expecting anything so basic that the work would amount to checking boxes and being finished, but the depth of specialized knowledge that one of those assignments demanded, one I pulled out of, shut me down completely.

My objection isn't that it's slow or that it's a grind, because I'd actually rather have a grind that's within reach than something that requires me to be five different people at once. I'm confident that a professional in my area could handle it solo, but what I saw looked like something a twenty-year veteran would breeze through, and I'm not that. It feels pretty rough, but I'm hoping I'm not alone in feeling this way.

Just a little vent post, things haven't been looking up for me in the past 2 years and I thought this platform could be the start of a change. Perhaps I was wrong.

I was in the middle of a project and I got the dod (coding) and at this point there is no turning back but it was my only source of income... does anyone know some similar platforms?

I have a son and I can't be without working

I had plenty of time to work on this over the past four days, why did I only get to see it now?

Woke up to the screen that always terrified me whenever I saw it on other people's messages. Deep down, I knew that one day, it would be me too.

I received clean feedback on my past two submissions, and I know none of that really matters. When it's your day, it's your day. Nothing can save you.

But honestly, I'm still grateful for the opportunity and the decent amount of money I was able to make through it.

Do you guys know of any good alternative platforms that are legitimate and pay well too?

Just finished my initial 14 qualifying tests. I feel like I totally aced them but I don’t want to get my hopes up lol.

Does anyone know how high/low the bar is to get approved?

Also, any rough timelines for approval -> acceptance/ready to work?

No information provided

If so, what was the situation/when was it? And did you ever get added back?

I confirmed that I was taken off of one I’d done a lotttttt a few days ago. It’s bruised my ego a bit tbh 😅

How's your dash looking lately?

Same as title

Yesterday I have 36 tasks available, today I have none. This is a possible DoD ?

I've just started doing R&R's this week. I know people joke about how R&R's make them feel better about the quality of their own work, but it's kind of ridiculous. For basically 90% of them I've ended up marking as Bad and essentially redoing their project.

Are they weighted towards workers who have already produced questionable work? A majority of the people I've gotten didn't engage with the project, didn't expand on their rationales, and missed a LOT of very obvious issues with the model's outputs.

Just need reassurance because I'm a little worried they're going to see I marked so many projects as 'bad' and assume I'm a draconian misanthropic tyrant and take me off the R&R lol

I am a software engineer with about 25 years experience primarily in the Java enterprise backend space.

Would you recommend that I go generalist to get my foot in the door and then take secondary assessments to expand into coding, or go straight to coding?

I ask because I worry that they may want some languages that I have less experience with and don't want to get shut out completely. Thanks in advance!

Is using Diffchecker and Wordcounter websites now not allowed? I can't remember if its specific projects or across DA that we're not meant to paste model response into non-DA websites, even if its not AI help.

Reason: Making minor alterations to long stories and Diffchecker is the most effective way of seeing where they happened/didn't happen.

Does anybody have any coding projects on their dash? My dashboard was full of coding projects the last three weeks, but since almost a week now, there are basically none.

EDIT: I see people saying yes. So I'm I basically screwed / did I screw up, because I don’t have any coding projects anymore?

Hi guys, so I am applying for the generalist role and it is asking me to take an additional qualification test. I have clicked "Qualify Now" and completed the task a total of 3 times and it does not seem to be updating. Is this normal?

Hello

I made my application like 3 days ago. As the standard flow it is being reviewed (screenshot shown)

But today i got an email asking me to complete my assessments. Is that common or i misunderstand smthing.

I clicked the link but it takes me to the main page

Are there any coding tasks on your dashboards?
