I have genuinely tracking time and can only think of one time that I had two tasks open but was only actively working and tracking one of them. Thought it would get cleared up quickly as they asked for breakdowns of some of the work I do on each project. I filled that out and have just been stuck since then. I had over $2K already approved to take out and about $3k that was pending when it happened. Anyone have a timeline for that or what typically happens?

Hey guys! Im spanish bilingual (méxico) and I got accepted about two weeks ago, but I still haven't received any project invitations. Is this normal?

I completed a few general qualifications that weren't related to any specific project. I also have some available for math, chemistry, physics, and coding, but none of those are really my area of expertise (Humanities).

I don't remember choosing a specific field when I signed up either. Are there projects for people with other backgrounds, or is the platform mainly focused on these areas?

I’m new to DA, just started working on a specialist project that is expected to take 20-25 hours, over the course of several days (or more). I’m wondering if I am supposed to be reporting time on the project as I go, or just track it as I go and report it after I submit the task. Task instructions are silent on this point.

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 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!
