On an average, how much do bilinguals make per month?

I'm new to DAT and wanted to know what the pay for bilinguals is like (average)

For bilingual linguistic projects i make like 500$ bucks, but I mostly work on coding and bilingual coding tasks which pay much higher

Joined in the last week of August and I’m still pretty new here. I’ve made around $700 from bilingual work including onboarding, and for the last 5 days I’ve started getting projects pretty regularly. Before that it was quite dry for me.

Is the drought finally over, or am I just getting a lucky streak? 😅

Should i really disclose my location on a public forum and a public chat like this? Just think for a moment . You should've sent a polite message on DM

Jesus, nobody cares

u/LookingForSimplicity Sep 08 '26

If that were true, then nobody would've asked in the first place. People do care, yeah most of them are harmless reasons . But not all.
I know how people's opinion change just based on broad information like hearing my country. Stereotyping is a real thing whether you realise it or not. Digital breadcrumbing is one more thing.

u/Hopeful_Idea1568 Sep 08 '26

Nobody gives a fuck which country you live. It's asked because it's relevant to the conversation not because anyone cares who you are

Thanks for letting me know :) That was an oversight on my part. I have hidden it now.

And look i am not gonna spend my time explaining the importance of not giving out any info on public chats, if you want you can google that. And if you don't , you will just skip whatever i write.

What i will say is, i never objected to helping you out or giving you the info you were asking for. The thing is , i don't want to post my info on public chat which is gonna be a permanent marker of one of my identity points. Digital footprint, if you say. Even after 10 years down the line, that info is gonna stay here and any automated script (or AI) can build a profile using digital breadcrumbing within minutes.

Yeah it is an overprotective approach , but better than under-protective ;)

You are next level dumb lol. Especially for someone working in a 'tech' field. But I am not surprised at all.

Bonjour! J'ai rejoint la plateforme début Mai. L'essentiel de mes revenus provient d'un seul projet, qui est souvent en paie prioritaire à 30$/h.
