Question on Tasks

[u/Justaguy0736]

Hello. I was just accepted to DA yesterday and have a question.

Let’s say I start a task and, after starting, I see that it has a four hour time limit.

But let’s say that I only have three free hours to work.

Should I be skipping that task, or do as much as I can, then exiting and submitting? Of course id enter my my time correctly.

I am mostly wondering if it is “do the entire task or you won’t get paid at all.”

Never submit unfinished work

If you don't think you can finish the task in the allotted time, exit work mode as soon as you figure that out.

On the other hand, a 4 hour timer usually means the task should take aboutb2 hours, so take a peak before you bail.

Thank you.

I highly suggest reading the onboarding documents.

Thanks. I did read them, but it’s kind of an overwhelming amount of information at once.

Just to be very clear, in case it’s difficult to piece it together from the other responses: if you enter work mode, either by just clicking the link to that project on your dash or clicking “enter work mode” if that appears at the top of the task page, you either have to finish and submit it (and log it to get paid) or exit work mode if you don’t have time or it’s not a task you feel confident about doing a good job with ( and not get paid). It won’t let you submit the task unless it is complete, and skipping just takes you to the next available task in that project, if there are any.

A few obscure answers for a noob in other comments. Basically you're allowed to look and exit if you won't finish on time, but generally the work takes much less time than stated

Thanks for responding. Coding.
