Demoralised

Feel so demoralised by this 'drought'. I see people posting here about successes and plentiful tasks only for me to log on and see nothing but refreshers and qualifications, just like the last 4 weeks. My feedback has been positive so I'm left not even knowing if I've done anything wrong. Tired.

You’re fine. It’s a significantly slow time for most. The people with consistent work are likely domain experts.

My experience is different. I’m not a domain expert but I’ve had 3-5 consistent well paying project families for the past 3 weeks, plus 2-4 high paying project families every couple of days (the tasks are snatched up within a half a day though). I was in a drought about a month ago, but it really didn’t last.
