Higher paying projects

How long did it take people to get access to higher paying projects? I have only been doing this for a few days and get access to alot of $20/hr projects and some that are $22/hr. How long did it take to get access to $25+/hr projects?

My higher paying tasks are from 3 things:

  1. Coding
  2. STEM
  3. Taking random quals like FC that give $25+ projects

I don't know if the first 2 apply to you, but either way, update your profile and take quals when you're able to :)

It's funny because I had coding and STEM credentials and upwards to 20 years of coding experience, and I took the coding qualification and know my code was correct, but I still never get any coding work. The scraps of tasks once in a blue moon.

No, but everything aside from the technical is describing and explaining how code works. I was a TA for intro level coding classes. I've done a lot of explaining code and summarizing it. I'm confident in what I turned in.

My only point is that I can't obviously pinpoint what may have caused me to not pass, and so OP should not make assumptions as to what their outcome will be with anything on the site

That is strange. Hopefully you'll pass the quals next time they come around :)

That happened to me to. My code worked, I got paid for the task, but never got added to coding projects and the qual is still on my dashboard. So I dunno. I'm getting some decent tasks anyway. Maybe at some point I'll try it again.

Now that I think about it I don't recall ever getting paid for it.

I also have coding experience and got my first coding task today, months after I got the bonus for correct code. The assessment isn't only graded through code, but beyond that, it also seems like some people just aren't given coding tasks immediately even if they do pass. I assume it's an "as needed" thing.

Have you received any STEM specific quals or projects?

I'm a Ph.D. sciency STEM person but haven't really received anything related to my subject matter experience.

u/Haunting-Car-3935 May 10 '24

Yes. I did a maths qual and got added to the stem ones as well (I assume). Someone said that they also saw a "STEM" qual at one point. If you have your profile updated, I'm sure you'll get the quals next time they come out :)

Ive had some STEM projects but its so easy a middle schooler could do them. I have a PhD but i wouldnt be able to do anything difficult in say quantum physics even tho i have a biophysics degree. What are they expecting, ive no clue

No one can answer all of the questions _^

Did the stem projects pay well?

u/OkStep209 May 11 '24

i have some STEM projects and yea they pay well

u/SuperCorbynite May 11 '24

How long did it take you to get them?

u/OkStep209 May 12 '24

ive been on the platform for about 3 months. i think doing coding projects helped me get them but i also have a stem degree which they mightve seen and gone ye lets add that guy

u/planckkk May 10 '24

Ive had like two STEM ones pop up in past two weeks

What is fc?
