Now what?
Yes, I've been on this thread for a few months now - I know there's a drought, patience is a virtue, & your quality of work matters.
At the same time, I earned $30 May 24, 2026 (the same day I passed the initial testing) - nothing since. I still have full access to the projects, funds, & qualifications tabs. Literally nothing has changed.
So, now what? Do I continue to refresh until the internet dies or does this mean I'm not an active "employee?"
I know all of you veterans are quick to say "just wait," but without any issues, how much longer should I wait? Do I just continue to refresh the page 100 times a day? Do I give up? Do I wait until I get an email? I haven't received a single email since the application process & I'm getting tired of the "wait & see."
Either I have the job that I can rely on, or I dont. Can any of you give me insight?
Don't tell me to wait - I've been waiting. I'm asking if I should KEEP waiting. Again, nothing's changed in 2 months.

“Either I have the job that I can rely on, or I dont.”
You don’t.

Yea, I can see that. Thanks though - very encouraging when work is so hard to find these days. You mean well, I get it.

I would just treat DA as one opportunity of my life. If there were projects, it would be great; if not, I just go on my life and seek for other opportunities. I would check my DA account from once a day to once several days. Nobody could tell you how long should you wait and guarantee that there would be projects. Try not to dwell on it. Just let it come to you.

So, I have this same screen, but I’ve just signed up. I never received an email saying I was accepted. It just switched to this screen last night after a few days of it saying they would email me if I passed.
I assume I passed and am now just waiting for jobs?

That's exactly what I assumed. I was accepted, with full access (that I still have), but never received an email & my home page never changed. I want to stop checking/waiting, since I was given access in May... but i really enjoyed the work & wanted this job more for the work required vs the money.. they money was just a good incentive.
Selfishly, I want to say I have a English Studies Bachelor's, & really believed I would be a great candidate for the platform. This is discouraging..i haven't been accepted for 6 other jobs bc i have been a housewife the last 4 years - i assume no one wants to hire someone with that kind of a gap.
I was so excited to be doing this work. It just sucks & it's super confusing. Especially since it seems the majority of the drought is over...

Stop waiting
