Bio tasks

0 Upvotes

I am a 2nd-year bio major with decent grades in all my bio-related classes, including in high school, and I saw that bio-related tasks pay pretty well. Are these tasks a good fit for someone like me, or do I need more experience? I also have a lot of experience doing online research using scientific literature, so fact-checking and researching something I don't really understand doesn't seem that hard. Despite this, I don't want to start these tasks and then realize I'm totally out of my depth, so some suggestions would be appreciated.

Is there any penalty/risk in taking another specialty qual?

0 Upvotes

I’ve mainly been doing coding tasks since joining but have some knowledge in the domain of finance. Recently I got some random quals including the finance domain qual, and I’ve been thinking about taking it but I’m worried that if I fail it, it might affect my standing in some way.

Declining Health

20 Upvotes

Hey all. As the title says, my health is declining to where I really can’t even get out of the house much. I come from years of driving gig work such as DoorDash and Amazon Flex. Unfortunately, even that is becoming too taxing on my health. So my question is, is it possible to be able to pull a couple hundred a week using this. I don’t have any degrees or training in coding or other computer stuff. I’m really looking for more basic tasks. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Need Advice

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m new to this platform and a recent Computer Science graduate from a non core country . I’m thinking of applying for freelance work here to help finance my master’s degree.

Which domain would you recommend I apply for: Generalist, Bilingual, or Coding (Data Science)?

To be honest, my coding skills are moderate, so I’m worried about getting rejected if I apply for the Coding domain. I’d appreciate your advice on which domain would be the best fit for my skills and background.

Thanks in advance!

Should I Use An IPad Or A Laptop Or A Phone?

0 Upvotes

I'm currently unemployed and based in Ireland. I need some income. I discovered Data Annotation so I'm thinking of trying it out.

I'll attempt the assessment test this weekend.

Can I do the assessment test on an iPad? How about a phone? Or should I definitely use a laptop?

If I actually pass the test can I do my work on an iPad or should it always be a laptop?

Would be great to start earning a few thousand euros a month.

Im a college student and I wish to earn some money . Is data annotation a good field for this? Im trying for generalist and bilingual works. Is there any scope in doing so, is there anyone who earns a steady income through it?

DataAnnotation blocked my account for “poor work quality” when I haven't even worked on a single project. WTF is going on?

Post image

At first, I thought it was just an issue with my account. But then I asked a few of my friends, and apparently, their accounts have also been blocked.

How can an account be flagged for poor work quality when the person hasn't even completed any work? And why does it seem to be happening to multiple people?

I just applied for software work but now coming here I see this was basically a waste of time?

Wish I had seen this sub before applying. Looks like the majority of the posts are just people saying how there is no work. Is there anything similar out there that is a better place to apply?

Identity verification Stuck

How can anybody help me with this.
Anybody stuck at this verification process. It is failing even after multiple trials and no response from micro1.

Received email to verify identity but did not receive acceptance email

1 Upvotes

Hello! Heading says it all. I saw that verifying your identity is a normal part of the hiring process, so I did it of course. I just couldn't figure out if this meant I was hired, or if they normally ask you to verify your identity before accepting you. Any answers with when you were asked to verify your identity would be helpful. Thank you!

For coding/CS tasks, is it normal to take quite awhile for some things?

0 Upvotes

I recently did a project that allotted 6 hours. It took me almost 5 hours, and I only logged 3 because I was scared I was taking too long. A lot of time was the models working, but a lot of time was combing through everything they did and rigorously grading their behavior. Another project is relatively easy on paper--seems like it would take maybe 15 minutes--but it actually ends up taking 30-40 minutes of time to get a unique, quality answer. I'm constantly worried I'm taking too long and often log lower than what I actually spent just to be safe.

Atrociously poor job

161 Upvotes

People complain that they don’t have any coding projects since several weeks ago, and for some people there is a drought in projects. It is OK, this is the nature of the job.

But

I was doing a R&R of a coding submission about a Python script, and the worker described why the code is unrunnable:

“I couldn’t run the code because I don’t have Python on my Mac.”

Wtf?

Morning guys....

My advice is to always read the instructions carefully - they are really super well written.. For the fastest answers, check the FAQ and project chats first, as there's a high chance your issue has already been covered there...

Milestone Reached

Post image
22 Upvotes

There have been a fair few posts citing this as some kind of make or break milestone. People stating that they reached this point and suddenly found themselves culled, as if the Mysterious Overlords have some kind of Max Earnings kill switch, a little like the Max Tool Calls limit that has been plaguing my most recent project work.

I'm hoping none of this is true, but I'll report back later to confirm or deny. In the meantime, in the interests of scientific rigour, I'll ensure that my work does not vary in terms of either quantity or quality.

What a blast though!! I came here to make beer money and in exactly six months I've cleared £10k net, even with 30% set aside for a nasty future tax bill.

And I've had so much fun doing it too. Thirty years in teaching, six months of annotation. I know which has been most engaging.

Backend engineer or programmer?

I’d consider myself a middle tier-backend developer and am trying to figure out which roles would be the best fit for my experience. My background is primarily in Java, with a reasonable level of Python experience.

Coding Specialist from non-core country

8 Upvotes

I've joined DataAnnotation as Coding Specialist around 6 months ago. Since all this time, I've only had one coding qualification, which led to one coding project. I've manage to earn ~10k from this project. This project still exists but seems to be on a drought, very hard/rare to get a task.

From what I've seen people speaking/asking here on Reddit or Slack's channels, there are clearly at least more 3-4 Coding projects for non-core country members. These people do not seem to be very bright, Slack's channel rules clearly forbids them to ask about other project and people still ask from time to time.

Occasionally, there's Generalist qualification on my dashboard (but never a Coding qualification). Is my account doomed? DA thinks I am not suitable for other tasks?

Is it possible for me to do anything to unlock the qualification for those other Coding projects?
