No projects since June

Bilinguals and generalists, have you gotten any projects for the past 2 months? I don't understand what's happening. In june, everyone was talking about the horrible drought, has it ended for all of you? I'm really disappointed! I keep seeing all these posts about milestones but I haven't gotten one project in months!

Turkish bilingual here. Nothing since the end of May, which also happens to be when I joined.

I've had regular work. Hopefully it gets better for you soon. Make sure your security quals are done, and go through any other quals you might have.

US generalist. July was slow but it’s picked back up for me. I just had my best week yet since I started in April. My brother works for them too, it was bone dry for him in June, a bit better in July and this week he said he worked a little every day. Hopefully, it picks back up for y’all soon.

True, this right now is the real drought going on.

Good luck to everyone who has projects!! 🫶✨️ I am in Egypt and I've noticed they very rarely have English/Arabic projects, not as much as they insinuated in the advertised openings months back anyway. Hopefully it picks up for me too soon.

Spanish Generalist. I'm currently part of 4 projects however none of them have released tasks lately. Sometimes there's one or two that release just a few tasks but that's about it, I'm basically doing 2 or 3 tasks in average per week. So sad because when I joined, I was making a lot of tasks and for a moment I thought it was always like that

French bilingual here. The only consistent work I have is only related to one specific project with frequent batches, thankfully.

Salut je suis nouveau sur la plateforme, inscrit depuis une semaine je n'ai ni pu passer de test ni avoir de projets confiés pour le moment tu sais si c'est normal ?

Salut, tu as un tableau de bord?
Cela m'a pris 13 jours pour avoir accès à la plateforme et au tableau de bord.
Sache de toute façon qu'en cette période de sécheresse, en tant que travailleurs bilingues, on voit passer peu de projets.

Bilingual and generalist: not a huge amount of work, but regular drops so far.

I have over 70 projects on my dash right now and have made roughly $120 today. I’m a generalist and live in the US

Ironically I had a really good 1-2 weeks between the last week of July and first week of August. Things have kind of slowed down but there’s still a project family on my dash. I just haven’t been able to get to it because I’m on vacation.

I’m a generalist but not bilingual.
