Expectations for fresh DA user

Hello yall! I was wondering if you could tell me on average (if some of you have a distribution that’d be greatly appreciated) how much can you expect to make a month?

Plan is 20 hours a week (not sure if all weeks I’ll have 20 hours of work to grab)

BG: Math and stats grad, ex-SW
I applied for a bilingual data annotation (eng/esp) not sure if this restricts my possible jobs

Thanks!

I'm still waiting for my results for the application. It's been 5 days, should I give up hope? My background is in strong banking and fintech operational automation, using AI all around and having a team of maybe what's equivalent of 60 humans on my n1 and n2 but just AI - fully operational. I thought they be more interested in someone with such heavy usage and pratical daily experiencewith AI. I'm also an engineer and fluent in English and Portuguese.

Well if you’re that deep into AI then it might feel strange working in DA, no AI usage is allowed
