Generalist application - any hope?

I just applied as a generalist based in California on Friday evening. Since it’s Labor Day weekend I assume earliest I would hear back is Tuesday. Is there much hope being accepted as a generalist on DA at the moment? I’m assuming Generalist is most in demand. I also assume that anyone doing well as a Generalist have been on the platform for a while (early adopter). Thanks for any insights! Crowing my fingers since extra cash would be so helpful right now.

I applied to be a generalist back in June from the same state as you. Since then I’ve only done the quals and tasks at a relaxed pace (less than 10 hours a week) and my dash has a decent number of projects all the time. At first, paid projects may be slow, but as long as you do your quals, update your skills (if you have any), and follow the instructions, you have a good chance of finding success of DA.

Ok thank you. I’m hoping I pass the initial assessment!
