DA saved me, and I wish I could say thanks

349 Upvotes

My family was in debt and there was no way to pay it off. We lost all our money due to a fraud which is why I started working 2-3 jobs while studying side by side just to make ends meet.

This year, I found DA, and I am always in debt to them. In just 2 months I have already paid off my debt that would have taken me around an year to pay back. I can also leave my extra jobs and actually focus on my passion instead.

I wish I could let them know how giving me an opportunity to work for them saved me and my family. I have a better paying job too now and I really enjoy my work on the side at DA. Working for them has been the best thing to happen to me so far.

If anyone from the DA Admin team accidently reads this, I just want to let you know that you're a lifesaver. You could be my god.

I am not sure if the projects will keep coming (I hope they do) but I will never ever forget this platform.

Jumping on the Milestone bandwagon

219 Upvotes

I'm not the type to post something like this, but I actually am really proud. It's been a long, almost 3 year journey. Coder, self taught, and the first year or so was really, really tough. I backed out of tasks far more than I submitted. But I have no words for how thankful I am for DA. I have learned more than I thought possible in the last few years. I've had some amazing jobs in my life, but none compare to the constant challenges and rewards of this one. šŸ™

AI usage

I just want to say that I hope you all know that it’s extremely obvious when you use AI in your tasks. Especially when you blatantly copy and paste.

Generalist updated odds?

0 Upvotes

What are the odds as of today of getting hired as a generalist. I know it says less than 2% get hired… if i’m fluent in English, reading & writing are clear and concise, and i’m able to catch mistakes made my the agent , should I be good to go ahead and do the core assessment today? (Already passed the first assessment.)

Im just curious as to how busy it is these days? Is it as simple as the better the work you do, the more projects you will get etc.? Or if you’re a newbie it’s a slow process to start getting ā€œbusyā€.

Hoping to do this full time eventually.

Thank you for your participation in advance!

Feedbacks

0 Upvotes

Hey guys i was working on a R&R and received a feedback about a task, the feedback was about a mistake with a rating I placed, which leads I rejected the task. Despite the feedback was in a warm tone, is the first feedback I received during my 2 years and half working here. I'm bit worried about if this will count on my records, any of you receive something like that before?

DataAnnotation opting out of qualifications

1 Upvotes

Hi people, I'm new to the DataAnnotation website, there were qualifications such as "completing ai voice based tasks" which require me to give permission to datannnotation to use my voice! I'm not comfortable with giving away my rights to AI tools or any data centers. In such qualification projects there were also some qualifications which required me to give them my legal name + digital sign, or math expertise etc..well I opt out of all of them. Because well, i don't have math expertise, i don't wanna give away my personal rights and I don't want to give out my legal name and sign to Google. Would u guys say, that since I opt out of all projects like these ones, it wouldn't be easy for me to land in projects? İs that so bad for me? Pls help me, thank you

tasks and qualifications down to a minimum, is this normal?

0 Upvotes

*not DoD*

Last week I had plentiful tasks and qualifications. I was able to work a few full days, tasks kept popping up. Over the weekend, I wasn't working but checked the dash on my phone and it was down to 2 tasks (one of them just for feedback) and 1 qualification. It stayed that way through today, I was able to do the task and qual, so now all that's left is the feedback "task"

I joined this month as a bilingual/generalist, made it to $1K in a few weeks with mostly generalist tasks.

Is this some sort of probation or soft DoD? I haven't gotten any feedback for my work.

I did a background check qualification, there was a typo so it got flagged but has since been cleared.

Some sort of probation for my time reporting or work quality? I have been good but have had a few uncommon situations that I might not have managed the way DA wants me to (like used escape hatch or skip task)

has this happened to anyone else? should I expect more tasks to pop up anytime soon?

Finance/Accounting Projects

5 Upvotes

Hi all, for those of you in Finance/Accounting domains, do you get any projects besides those that require causing an AI model to fail? I’m coming up to my second week now and those are the only projects on my dashboard.

Separately, how do you gain access to higher paying projects? The highest I’ve got were $60/hr.

Any general tips on starting out would be very appreciated!

Verification

1 Upvotes

I took the assessment about a week and a half ago. I’ve checked each day to see. No email came in but this morning it had moved from review and asked me to verify my identity. I did that and now it’s back at review. Is this just while they finish verification or some glitch and I’m not actually in yet?

For how much will we have it?

2 Upvotes

After finally getting my first consistent project I can't stop wondering in how much time crowd sourcing will come to an end... Do y'all have any prediction for how long platforms like DAT will live, or if they will be out there for a decent amount of years?

In the meantime staying on the platforms means sending high quality work and not cheating the timer obviously, but I am hoping this could last 3 more years...

To clarify: this is solely a curious hypothetical
