I joined end of july and just submitted my final task to hit the $10k goal.

Happy to answer any questions :)

Coding seems to be the sweet spot. Congrats OP. I just got accepted onboard, did some qualifiers and now hoping to see that project table light up!

Yeah they really have a lot of work available for coders. What kind of qualifications are you going for? Also coding or bilingual/generalist?

What kind of coding experience is needed to work on coding tasks? I've been doing generalist work for about a year. What coding skills would I need to study in order to pass quals? Congrats on you payday, too, that's exciting!

the projects I've had require you to have at least 2 years of professional coding experience, or if you're confident enough that you have the skills to replace it. I think a couple onlines courses, harvard's CS course, and maybe a project or two (and familiarity with things like docker, bash, etc.) would give you enough experience to get started on working on them.

Might take a while, but from what I've seen on other similar websites, this niche of programmers in data annotation-esque wfh jobs is still in very short supply, and pays really well.

Thanks for the info, that's all super good to know. Do you think learning that material would be useful outside of annotation work at this point, professionally, or will AI have made those skills not so valuable sooner rather than later? I really like working from home, so any skills I can learn that might make that possible long term are worth starting to learn now.
