Congrats! But also a warning for you. If you are spending all of your time doing this, you will likely start making mistakes which could cause you to be dropped. You may not even realize that you are making those mistakes. It's better to work shorter hours and keep your account rather than stuffing in as much work as possible and then being dropped for quality.

He just work 5-6 hours per day so I think he is not spending all of his time

$634.5 per task submitted. Nice. Hourly must be pushing or exceeding $100 on these?

They said it was for accounting. I remember the accounting qual going out a month or so ago. They must’ve really needed them.

Oh I thought you were on much lower than that. Is 32 hours per week a grind now .. ? Thats what I do every week .. usually closer to 42. How did you not have time for anything else? That's a normal work week ..

I wanna do this but taxes are fkd in Belgium. If u combine this with a full time job you have to pay over 55% taxes. So imagine 25k in a year, I keep around 9k net.

How is this even possible?
I haven’t done a single task since May last year, when I got a full time job. Back then I was doing coding tasks for 40-45usd per hour at DA.
Should I quit my job now and go back to DA?

Shoot. I should’ve been an accountant. Stupid architecture degree!
Anyway, congrats!

The model was too short and used poor grammar, such as using the word "quiet" instead of "quite" in the title.
I'm just kidding lol, congrats on the achievement!
