What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $1,500–$2,000 and 20 hours about $3,000–$4,000 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Location
Only applicants located in United States can be paid for this role. Platforms usually verify where you are, so apply only if you are based there.
Credentials
The listing asks for a PhD, 2+ years of experience. Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.
Test tips for finance pros
  • Rebuild the key number yourself before you judge the AI's reasoning.
  • Name the model or method you expect (DCF, ratio analysis, variance analysis).
  • Flag missing assumptions: the AI often hides them.
