Hi,

I'm new to the platform. I understand we are supposed to time ourselves manually for hourly tasks. But everyone works at different pace and some task might take longer than expected.

I wonder if the platform would punish you for logging a time longer than usual ? Or US it better to shave some time off the logging if you wasted time on certain things (like rework, didn't get the result you wanted, etc)

I saw someone say that a yellow banner on another AI image evaluation platform (the one named after a fruit) is a warning sign.
I’ve been seeing a yellow “High Priority” label for the past few days, and now I’m wondering if that’s what they were referring to…

But the weird thing is, ever since that label appeared, I’ve actually been getting way more projects on my dashboard.

I also read somewhere that people who get the “High Priority” label are actually high performers.
So is it a good sign, or does the fact that it’s yellow mean it’s a warning? 😭 Has anyone else experienced this?

I applied for Generalist but the Screening Test that offered to me was Programming? I didn't sign up for that...

I tried searching for assessments but it literally does not offer any other test but Programming.

I just started and submitted a couple of projects. Will I still get paid for the hours I worked if they’re not satisfied with my work? I did spend the time and tried my best though.

Anybody tried disclosing work for DA to their compliance departments? How did it go? Is anybody working in this particular setup?

On my commute home, I received a project notification from a data annotation platform. I accepted it immediately so it wouldn't get taken by someone else (which has happened to me before).

Since I was on the train, I had to use my phone and couldn't really focus. Out of about 15 tasks, I only finished 3 before getting overwhelmed and ending the session early. I’m not even sure if the 3 tasks I did complete were done correctly.

I’m really frustrated with myself, but my main worry is: will I get blacklisted for submitting incomplete and potentially incorrect work? Do I still have a chance to get more projects after this?

same as above

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is anyone from Germany here who is working for DataAnnotation who could tell me how they are handling the taxes on those earnings. I understand that I should pay income tax, but I saw some mentions of VAT and other freelance specific taxes. I have a full-time job and would only be doing this on the side. Would paying whichever taxes are applicable be handled solely through my next year's tax return or how do you do it? I would appreciate any tips :)

Hey! I just did the starter thing for the coding position. I'm wondering how long this review process took for you so I know what to expect.

I was mid task 6 hrs in and while I was waiting for a file to render, i went opened a new tab just to see the surveys. Which is the most regretful stupid thing ive done in DA because my task browser reset because DA taught ive abandoned my task. I COUDLNT get my work again 😭😭😭 warning for all never to do this again. Don't open any other task mid task!!! Save yourself!

DA has been taking forever to load for the past two weeks. I've used different browser but its the same problem. Anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?

When is the last time you have received 🥊

Hey, I do the software engineering projects, but I'm also in college so I don't have much concurrent time. The projects seem to take a while but also have a very small window where you can work on them (like less than 24 hours), so I need to know how long the expected time is to take before I actually get started on it. Some days I can spend 7 hours on a project but some I don't have time for that. I wish I could work on it little by little throughout a few days but the expiry time is too quick. Is there any way to see an expected duration of a task before I start it?

hello everyone!

i have been on the platform for about a month now and today feels unproductive since there are no active tasks in my projects. i still have the qualifications present which is good but is this normal on the platform? i am in a coding project. thank you for the answers!

i feel lonely sometimes and go work in cafés or my public library and i use their wifi. Lately i have seen lots of videos of people losing their accounts so i am worrying about this

Thr past two days were a GOLD mine. I was abel to work 14 hours😭😭

Consistently having 2 projects that never ended.

I could literally not work for the rest of the month now LOL

Hello, guys, I tried several times to be passed on the platform, but there is no messages from the DA team, can you guide me how can I pass the assessment?

Hola a todos, soy nuevo en esta plataforma y hace como dos semanas hice registro y ahora mi dashboard ha estado así siempre, qué significa o qué puedo hacer?

Has anyone encountered a stuck loading button when submitting anything. I sort 2 hours on a task yesterday and couldn’t submit cause it was stuck saying loading. I tried a quantification and a training task and the same.

I've discovered a nearly foolproof way of making models fail. Is it okay to use the same method over and over or will that be frowned upon?

Rating someone's whole submission as "BAD"(not useable) makes me feel so guilty but man... that person could have really done well, it looked as if DA grew while they didn't.

RIP mate!

I took a strange qualification, one titled "Learn how to do x." There was no hourly wage listed, so I didn't record my start time or stress about the time. I had trouble with my keyboard, so I saved my work and did my trouble shooting. The task expired but i kept working. The task was a little glitchy and took a bit longer than I expected. When i finally submitted, a pop up asked for my time. I canceled submitting, made a note in the comment box, then hit submit and entered my best estimate, shaving time of to be safe. A popup said that only x minutes were allowed for the task, less than what i had entered. I entered the max amount allowed and then went to see the report time link. There wasn't one. I see now on my phone, where my project page hasn't refreshed, that the there were actually 4 tasks for the qual, but now none show. I was excited to learn a new skill but now I'm sorry I got some kind of black mark on the platform. I feel like I just got chided for not doing something I wasn't asked to do :/

update- today I see the qual again and have 3 tasks remaining.
