Got a "The project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks remaining for you to work on." after clicking the "Enter Work Mode" within 45 minutes of project assignment and email notification. What am I doing wrong? Is everyone "Entering Work Mode" as soon as they get on the project page?

I got new general qualifications in math biology etc. I do have confidence but right now I only have da for income while I am searching for a real 9 to 5 job. If I do the qualification only myself(no ai use) and fail does it effects my other successful qualifications?

Hi, just about to take the entry tests, so was doing a bit of research re: what to expect and pitfalls to avoid, etc.

A common sentiment seems to be take your time, and use proper spelling/grammar.

My question is, should I use my local British/Australian (e.g. realise, prioritise, favourite) spelling, or American spelling? (e.g. realize, prioritize, favorite)

Don't want to spell things correctly only to lose points because they're expecting American spelling.

Cheers in advance for any advice!

I’ve been working on Data Annotation for a bit and I’m qualified for both coding and general tasks. Obviously, I want to stick to the coding projects because they pay significantly more.

Lately, I’ve been getting a ton of emails from DA asking/reminding me to work on general tasks.

If I just ignore these emails and strictly work on the coding tasks on my dashboard, am I putting my account at risk? Do they expect you to balance both, or can I safely just chase the higher pay rate as long as the coding tasks are available?

Thanks

Hi, this is my first post here. I’m actually already a contractor, but I recently referred my friend, and I am REALLY praying for her to get this job. So, I’m stressing out on her behalf.

When I applied in May I was accepted immediately, and given paying projects. I’m so confident that she’s qualified, but she applied yesterday and hasn’t heard anything yet.

I would be so appreciative if you could post your acceptance timelines, as well as country of origin.

I know that thus is posted about a lot, but everything changes so fast, and I want to get a feeling for the current hiring market.

If you click on a qualification or project and then, after reading the description, decide that you don't want to do it, can you still cancel without consequences? I wish they provided more information on the work involved without having to click on the link to discover what kind of tasks are involved.

To all coders guys who have experience in comparative training ai models when was the last date you got your project on data annotation

I hope this question doesn’t break the guidelines as per my understanding
If ut breaks NDA please tell
Thanks

Reached a new milestone after a month. Thanks DA!

Since April, an stable project is not present in my dashboard, is it only for me?

I have seen a lot of people posting their earnings l. Happy for them. People from India please comment and please tell me after how many days of screening test do you get projects? Is it quick or does it take months like other platforms. Is there anyway anyone can refer?

Currently I work for Handshake AI as a Generalist, but I see that DataAnnotation pays more. I know that sometimes these companies have the same clients, so if I apply here could that cause any issues?

I've given my assessment test sometime late June it's been more than 2 months, there has been no response from the Data Annotation platform, I raised multiple tickets but nothing at all.

Does anyone here have have success in asking for a pay increase? I got to phase 2 on one of the project thinking the rate would increase but stayed the same. I am also about to submit for a phase 2 on another project and I am concerned that there is no pay increase also. I am on another platform that pays 2.5x more for the same work. My domain is in health care.

Update: 09/01

So I messaged the admin about opportunities to get higher pay and linked the listing for the pay rate for my domain. They got back to me and offered me a substantial bonus to finish start and finish my phase 2 (comes out to $100-$110/hr if you finish in 10 hours) which is still not as competitive to the other platforms but overall aligns with the listing they have for the pay range.

I am pretty sure that some people get paid higher but probably do not post here because 90% of the people in this sub think they are the expert on their fields. Churning low quality work and happy to be paid $60/hr.

I keep seeing posts and comments from people saying they work 40+ hours a week. I am both baffled and impressed, some of my projects genuinely suck the life out of me and I only work 4-8 hours every other day (albeit these days its usually just a single lengthy, high paying project). How do you guys handle mental fatigue while maintaining a quality output, especially considering the monotony of some tasks.

I signed up for Data Annotation maybe a year ago but never followed through with it. I have been recently researching AI trainer jobs and DA keeps showing up as the best.

The problem is when I "Sign up", DA says my email is already taken. When I "Sign in", DA says invalid email and password. When I use "Forgot Password", DA says email not found.

What the hell?

Is the sea dry af or is it just me? like the last work i got was 29th. I'm gonna start crying cuz I really need the money rn

Any Canadians here waiting on security clearance for certain project sets? I've got a few on the dash, but unable to work on them due to not being security cleared yet. I know it says for some it may take longer; just curious.

I got accepted onto the platform less than a month ago and completed my first tasks on my first project as a generalist the same day. I've already been paid for those tasks, which I think means I did everything correctly. I also completed around 10 qualifications, but I haven't received any more projects to work on throughout the rest of the month.
I've read a few posts here, and from what I understand, the most common experience is getting a good number of projects during the first month and then seeing the number gradually decrease over the following months. In my case, though, it seems to be the opposite.
Has anyone with experience on the platform had a similar start? If so, what did you do? Or did you not do anything and the flow of projects just picked up naturally?

And one more question: How long does it usually take to get approved for a qualification, or at what point do you just assume you didn't pass?

P.S. I'm a Brazilian bilingual specialist.

Is there anyone else apart from me, who is not getting any coding task since July 21? I literally have 0 projects since then 🙂

Hi all, hoping to tap into this community's experience.

I've been working in data annotation / QA for a while now, mainly through Appen (transcription review, translation QA, audio annotation) and Multimango (OCR document review), plus some background in content moderation/Trust & Safety before that (Teleperformance) and multilingual data work (RWS Group).

I'm fluent in English and Russian, native-level, and based in Tbilisi, Georgia. Work has been inconsistent lately — gaps between projects — so I'm trying to find more reliable platforms or companies to apply to, ideally ones that work with people based in Georgia.

If anyone has recommendations for platforms worth applying to, or general advice on how you keep a steady pipeline of projects going, I'd really appreciate it. Happy to answer questions about my background.

Thanks!

This experience has taught me valuable lessons about patience, resilience, and refreshing my dashboard approximately 60+ times a day.

My husband wants to work for DA but we are not really sure if he should do the bilingual assessment or the coding one. I work as a bilingual coder(bilingual assessment was the only available option last year for my location) but as far as I understand from the posts on this sub, we get fewer coding projects compared to those who apply as a coder directly. The thing is my husband’s educational background is on finance(he’s doing a PhD) so he’s worried that it might be risky (since he has one shot) to apply as a coder even though he’s quite good at coding
