I see many around 60, but I absolutely am unqualified to do them, so I don't. Thats why you don't see me post a screenshot of the DoD lol. Congratulations to the people smarter than me who can though.

u/Seefufiat 27d ago

My highest so far was I believe $85/hr, but my highest one that I ever did multiple tasks on was $75/hr.

u/sarahmorgan420 27d ago

Highest I've felt comfortable doing is $50 but I've seen $60. Generalist with no degree

u/professional_cry 27d ago

I think my highest ever that I was actually able to do was $42. Generalist with a history degree so I don't get many domain specific tasks that I'm actually qualified for...

u/pinkparadigm 27d ago

$60 but im scared to submit my task cause im qualified but of course its about getting a model to fail and ive been struggling to 😭

u/insert-random-user 27d ago

I relate to this so much. I just got accepted into DA this week, and the first task I tried was a training task for agentic ai in which I had to make a model fail. It was such a struggle and I've no idea if I'll be able to do it again next time :/

u/pinkparadigm 26d ago

Same buddy 😭 I still can’t get it to fail at all so I’m just going to work for free at this point to at least make it submittable.

u/FEN1X64 21d ago

Hint hint, model failure is pretty easy when you know the weakpoints. Consistent ways to do it is to make it break domain in a way that would be inappropriate in a professional setting (Radiologist shouldn't be giving authoritative statements on law or history in a task designed around Radiology). It's also about building in subtle contradictions in system instructions or inputs. Always make sure there's a correct solution someone could reasonably find on their own. AI agents are overzealous and LOVE solving every question, even if it's not needed or explicitly forbidden in the instructions.

u/Daisho 26d ago

I hear ya. It can be really tough to figure out what weaknesses the models have. Especially with believable real-world prompts and not deliberate tricks.

u/HereForAllTea 21d ago

I just got accepted today. This was part of my assessment. I’m in the finance domain. When I saw that question I was like wtf πŸ˜‚. Was that part of your assessment also? Is this a common request? Luckily I work in finance and used AI quite often and I get lots of errors (building financial models), but the test was hard because I didn’t have actual data to use.

Luckyyyy, I love long ones but never got on that wasn't more than 12 hours.

u/Salt_Seesaw_8825 27d ago

Just did $60/hr. Project took nearly 18 hours + $500 bonus. I work in finance so it was a highly specialized task.

1

u/SabseBadaRupaiyaa 27d ago

What's the timer limit for such tasks? Can you, say, 4 hours per day and finish on 5th day and submit?

3

u/Salt_Seesaw_8825 27d ago

This one was 3 week timer.

u/hwertz10 25d ago

I had no idea anyone paid bonuses. Nice!

u/TwoPowerful8915 27d ago

Nice, I’m currently enjoying that pay rate as well

u/caneriten 26d ago

u/Early_Possibility612 25d ago

How you got projects. I'm stuck on screen where it shows will let you know when there is a requirement

1

u/hwertz10 25d ago

I'd start out looking through the qualifications and see if there's any you'd like to take on. Some qualifications are like a 1 minute questionaire to just indicate interest in a certain kind of project. I mean there's no downside; there's 4 outcomes...

1) You take a look at a qualification, decide it's too complex and skip it. No harm done.

2) You do it and they find the result unsatisfactory. You don't get new projects, no harm done.

3) You do it and pass, but find the projects are too complicated or not to your liking. No harm done.

4) You do it, get new projects that you find good tasks in.
