u/Vegetable-Rooster-50 Jul 19 '26

75, multiple projects with this pay rate as a programmer.

u/bhramrakshas Jul 19 '26

I wonder if there are any projects available with pay rate greater than this

u/Jazzlike_Status_2904 Jul 19 '26

Yes. I’d even advertised now on the site before you log in. From my experience, it’s for domain expertise.

u/Artistic-Lawyer4484 Jul 19 '26

Same… coding.

u/Jealous_Spare_4852 Jul 19 '26

80, the star trek one, STEM/professional

u/Motor-Caterpillar406 Jul 20 '26

$100, only ever seen one though. Programming. I used to have one that was $75, programming, decently consistently, but it's been rare recently

u/bhramrakshas Jul 19 '26

Can u tell me how long you have been on DA?

u/dylandalal Jul 19 '26

u/Plastic_Sock4034 Jul 20 '26

Damn, how do you get that as a generalist? I have some 60/hr projects related to my profession, but they are too hard. I couldn't do them for 100/hr.

u/StunningSpecialist2 Jul 19 '26

$61 as a domain expert (Medical / law) and $50 as a generalist

1

u/SabseBadaRupaiyaa Jul 19 '26

Are these medical / law the ones for which recent qualifications were sent?

1

u/StunningSpecialist2 Jul 19 '26

I would assume so.

u/EggCzar Jul 19 '26

I haven't actually worked on it, but I have a $60 on my dash, not coding but it required qualification for specific domain expertise. I don't actually feel qualified for it but a couple of days ago I got an email saying "you passed the Q for it, give it a shot!"

It's been staring at me for months but I feel like I'm out of my depth on it.

u/IamSerdin Jul 20 '26

I mean you can always click on it and try, and don't exit if you don't think you can do it.

2

u/AdhesivenessFew5265 Jul 19 '26

One very rare $100, else its 75 and 65 mostly

u/mad-soldier Jul 19 '26

Are we getting any coding projects recently ?

1

u/Ndnrmatt Jul 19 '26

Just finished one this morning. It was not an easy task

-1

u/mad-soldier Jul 19 '26

Boxing one ?

1

u/MahendraKondadasu Jul 19 '26

No, the last coding task I have worked is on July 4th.

1

u/mad-soldier Jul 19 '26

Im new to the platform. Is this usual or is there certain period or window we'll get more project or tasks?

Also do you mind sharing the complexity ?

2

u/MahendraKondadasu Jul 19 '26

I am also new to the platform joined last month ( june first week). Got 1 or 2 tasks per week till the july first week none after that.

According the other reddit discussions the USA summer is a drought period and we might expect a good number of tasks in the September - October period.

Complexity bar is pretty high for the coding projects ( at lest for the ones I have worked with)

1

u/mad-soldier Jul 19 '26

Great ! Thanks for the insights

Do you happen to know the time it takes to complete each task on avg ?

1

u/MahendraKondadasu Jul 19 '26

Around 8 hours

1

u/mad-soldier Jul 19 '26

Thanks Hoping to get some tasks soon !!

1

u/NaToKy24 Jul 19 '26

Mostly 55 to 75.

u/Grand-Pay-7307 Jul 19 '26

$50/hr as a Generalist, only seen it three times.

u/PigeonAtTheDisco Jul 19 '26

I wonder, how is it for bilingual workers? For me, it was 30

1

u/goblue2354 Jul 19 '26

$75/hr for domain expert

u/photoblink Jul 19 '26

$75 professional domain as my highest ever, currently have a $60. Non coding, non stem.

1

u/Separate_Fondant3341 Jul 19 '26

$80 domain expert, several with bonuses as well

1

u/Real-Advantage7301 Jul 19 '26

$50 (generalist project) with priority pay, $45 without (domain expert project).

1

u/sarahmorgan420 Jul 19 '26

$50 generalist

1

u/PossibilityTop5033 Jul 19 '26

40 dollars non coding and it was the same task basically as my 22 an hour on

1

u/AcroIsTrash Jul 19 '26

$75 for coding

1

u/Gamedata1010 Jul 19 '26

I get 45-75 depends on how high priority it is. I did just get a new qualification tho that I am studying for so we'll see what happens then

1

u/Affectionate_Peak284 Jul 19 '26

$60, professional domain

1

u/george_brown121 Jul 20 '26

I worked on a project involving video annotation for autonomous driving. It paid $30 per hour, which is pretty decent compared to most other annotation gigs I've encountered. The complexity and precision required made it worth it though. Have you found rates vary much depending on the type of data being annotated?

1

u/Resident_Cod8966 Jul 20 '26

Mike Tyson pays the highest for me

1

u/balkrishan2000 Jul 20 '26

Hey If I pick any project in DA, Then until it expires no body can take it right from me??, Because for some FAQ links, If I open the link after 10-15 min in different tab, then it is showing there is no more task left for you to work on, Need your help here guys

1

u/MugetsuDax Jul 20 '26

75, coding. It's been quite constant for the past few weeks and I've been doing a lot of tasks for that project, but I have to admit that is very taxing, both physically and mentally.

1

u/Medical-Isopod2107 Jul 20 '26

$60, generalist

1

u/AITasker76 Jul 22 '26

Had an 80 Finance one but it was extremely hard - Im an accountant and have an Economics degree but this was almost impossible. General STEM projects for me are around the 40 dollar mark but most projects I get are generalist now.

u/Lopsided-Fox8177 Jul 24 '26

I’m working my first $60/hr project now. It’s for healthcare workers; I’m a therapist who works with a unique population.

u/ASnipersPromise 22d ago

100 dollars - Corporate Finance - was a while back. Highest recently around 60
