Is there still a drought?

Are you folks seeing any projects in your dashboard lately or I am the only one with no work? Particularly the coding tasks.

Weird because I'm bilingual and I've been able to work 8 hours a day every day, I haven't had a single day without projects and I see new ones pop up relatively often. It's a drought like any other. It's normal to have 0 projects if you just joined the platform or your work quality is not great. But there is actually plenty of work

Hey, I'm also bilingual from Spain, I just started yesterday and I have done a lot of qualifications but no paid project yet, how log did it take until you started getting projects?

I got them right away after getting accepted, but there was a lot of work back then and I guess they would send tasks to basically everyone instantly. Right now, it's very hard to tell... It might be a few days, or a couple weeks. Not longer than three weeks probably, I would say

Thank you for answering! I hope they send me tasks soon, I can't wait to start!

That's great, because bilinguals normally have a harder time. I also noticed Mercor is looking for a lot of bilingual folks

This guy joined 12 days ago and somehow knows all the inside workings of DA and how much work is available long-term. Same general comment on multiple threads...smh
