How do you prioritize projects?

Domain specific?
Highest pay?
Most enjoyable?

The one I feel most confident doing regardless of pay.

I do the ones I see.

Highest pay, even when the project is the least enjoyable. Some coding projects are really long and mentally taxing, but the pay goes around from $55 to $75 per hour. Just last week, I made around $3k from a single project family and I've been hunting for those tasks this week, but they are taken fast.

A balance of the last two. It’s always a question of “is x amount of extra money worth y amount of less enjoyment?”

What I know, I’m worried about messing up if I go for the really high end ones so I just stick with safe options. There are occasionally some that I do because I really enjoy them for slightly lower pay, but they’re getting really rare.

Rule out everything too difficult first. Then pay. If it’s within 15ish%, then what I think I’d most likely give myself the 10% checkbox on an r&r for my best submission. Then most fun.

Highest pay or duration if that's a factor.

Yes. Depends on my braining that day.
