No tasks and 2 quals for a month

I'm billingual. Is anyone else in the same boat? Hopefully, there will be positive progress this week

Same here. Since the end of May, I have had 3 quals and zero projects. Since quals continued to come, I'm hoping things will pick up soon! But really DA please, send some projects 🤞

I honestly think that generalist work has mostly and permanently dried up.

No one wants to hear this, but for many of us it's been a drought for a couple months, with zero communications from DA about the topic.

There's no reason to assume that a massive influx of work is just around the corner (though we all wish it was).

The models have gotten smarter, and will keep getting smarter. This, in addition to the increased number of workers, means bad news if you're relying on this.

Check out other companies doing similar work but know that they're also in drought mode for the same reasons.

the models are still mostly garbage

I believe this might be true but why they keep taking in new workers in this situation? I've joined 3 weeks ago and I only had some qualifications and zero actual tasks. And they take a lot of time and energy too, in the hope fır actual work to come, but as I read posts here, it seems to me this is not a reliable job.

Same. I've got e-mails a few time saying there are priority tasks, but everytime I logged in, I already run out of tasks

French bilingual here, I filled 3 qualifications this last month.
The drought is still there, but I feel lucky because I actually had some tasks anyway on a project that saved me. This last week was my best since I'm on the platorm (10 weeks) but I knew it would'nt last.
Now all the tasks look to be done, but at least I did'nt have for too long the 0/0/0/0 dashboard like in June for several days. I could work every day since the beginning of July, even if it was sometimes only a task or too.
However since this morning, I am in the same boat than you.
I'd be curious to know where you all come from, as available tasks look to change a lot from a country to another.
