Curious if anyone here has had a similar Mercor experience.

About a week ago I accepted a consulting contract with Mercor. That original contract is still active, although I’m still waiting on some provisioning/access.

Then Mercor added me to a second that I hadn’t specifically applied for.. but i figured - Ok cool, I should be able to swing both, as one was much higher hours than the other. Win/Win.....
(not, lol / Facepalm)

Last night I finally got access, and about an hour later received an email saying I had until 11:59 PM PST that night to complete several onboarding/practice/assessment tasks.

Very short notice, but I stayed up until around 4 AM and completed everything.

Today, roughly 12 hours later, I logged back in and saw that I had been offboarded from that second project.

No feedback, no explanation, and I can’t seem to find an actual human being to ask what happened.

I’m genuinely pretty shocked because I was interested in the work and think I would have been good at it. I’m not upset that they have standards or assessments — I just wasn’t expecting to go from “your access is ready” to being removed from the project within half a day.

So, for people who have worked with Mercor:

1. Is it possible to get put back onto a project after being offboarded, or is that basically permanent?
2. Does being offboarded put you on some kind of blacklist/do-not-reassign list for that project or client?
3. If this the is rapid onboarding/offboarding common?
4. Could this simply be project capacity rather than me failing an assessment?
5. Does being removed from one project affect my other active Mercor contract?
6. Is there an actual human contact/support route I’m missing?

Not trying to trash Mercor. I’m genuinely trying to understand what happened and whether there’s any chance of getting back onto that project.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually been through this.

I have the LLC, the business bank acct's, about 18 months of private consulting, overseas contracting / PMC work, and etc. Now that I have the SDVOSB certification.. whats my next move. I realize this is probably an easy answer staring me in the face; but I just need that extra nudge, that extra piece of knowledge to get me rolling. I'm willing to split profits, etc. for the right person that will seriously help me out with the first few contracts. Any/All answers, suggestions, tips, tricks, and advice is appreciated. Thx in advance ya'll.

EDIT—— Apologies.. i was a 13F attached to recce platoons for my first 4-5 years. Then transitioned to counterintelligence; I did that and adjacent work until leaving active duty & working as a DoD civilian CI/HUMINT officer.

So my specialty is intel/security consulting.
But to be honest id be just fine selling pens & notebooks to the state department or whatever. Im past the “cool guy” stuff / i just want to make a ton of money and move to el salvador, chile, Argentina.. somewhere like that and post up in a hacienda with my VA money , & what i cam pull out if GovCon.
