We know project-based work is growing.
We know much less about workers’ lived experiences.
Much of what we know about project-based work focuses on how many people are doing it, what kind of work they do, and what they earn.
Less is known about the conditions and personal trade-offs that shape the experience itself.
At GigNtell, we’re interested in uncovering what doesn’t always show up in the numbers.
Whether you work online or on the ground, your perspective helps document the real conditions shaping short-term, contract, and project-based work today.
Why anonymity matters
By looking at patterns across many experiences, researchers, organizations, and policymakers can better understand what workers are facing without requiring individuals to share or relive their experiences publicly.
GigNtell is different.
You can contribute in 60 seconds or choose to share more with our under-10-minute reflection and receive a brief personalized summary based on your responses.
Either way, your experience becomes part of a larger picture, helping illuminate patterns in how project-based work is experienced across roles, industries, and ways of working.
Why
We
EXIST?
When you share your experience, you help:
• Surface patterns around clarity, communication, flexibility, autonomy, time, support, and the trade-offs of project-based work.
• Contribute to a growing body of anonymized insight about how project-based work is experienced.
• Help document the conditions that shape work experiences across different environments.
GigNtell does not collect names or contact information with your responses, and we never share individual responses.
Your answers are combined with others only when there’s enough data to responsibly identify trends.
Participation is always voluntary. All data is used solely for research and informational purposes.
