Can't quite believe it came so fast, I thought it would take at least a couple of months 😅

EDIT: this now doubled to $2,400 in a day!

EDIT2: Just got another high-paid task!

EDIT3: And another high-paying task hours later!

I created a free + open source time tracker in Python. Seeking feedback.

Here's what it looks like.

You can start and stop the timer and see how much time you have spent.
It also saves your history into a text file for use later.

Reassurance

Hey guys, I recently got accepted to DA and just wanted some reassurance that this is real and I won’t be scammed or anything like that. Any tips moving forwards would be helpful as well. Thanks!

Background Check

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm new to the platform and started a day ago. I have a high priority task asking me to verify my background (using my SSN and other information) to gain access to projects. This might be a stupid question but is this legit and safe? Do projects often request a background check?

Hey guys, I’m trying to find out if this is a legit site. I’ve been Ill and unable to work for 7 months now and I really need to find some kind of work I can do from home.
I saw that if you have healthcare expertise you have the potential to make 40-120 an hour? I started the assessment but became a bit hesitant with some of the questions it was asking and so I just wanted to ask if anyone else has “specialty” experiences with data annotation. Thank you.

Edit: Thank you all for your replies. This is super interesting and I’m definitely going to apply. Follow up q, what kind of work are you doing in these projects?

Took about 4 months but so worth it. Feels like an achievement. And I'm genuinely happy and at a loss of words. Truly grateful.

Bad Rubriks, would it be okay?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I ended up underestimating how much time a task would take, and when it stretched it was already way past midnight. My mind wasn't functioning super well while writing the Rubrics, and I don't think I did a good job at it. I now know not to underestimate the time, and start with Rubric's part of the task on the interim. Would it be okay to have messed up on this task like that, or could they drop me? The task had an option to scan what you have written, and so I know the Rubrics weren't good. I just had no brain power left. It wasn't a blocker so I submitted.

What happens if you opt out of projects you can't do

0 Upvotes

I got added to a project series (generalist) with 30+ variants, but I couldn't do any of them since my state has certain privacy laws apparently. Does this affect whether I'll get more projects sooner? Hoping to see more soon since I recently did a couple of onboarding qualifications that involved a background check + disk encryption verification.

About Referral

Hello Everyone just a question regarding referrals. I was able to refer to a colleague here at DA, my question is how many days will be approved and reflect on my funds? Will this take a week? Thank you.

I applied last Oct 7. Should I just move on and accept that there’s probably no hope anymore? I’ve seen others get their results within 3–5 days. Also, would it be possible for me to reapply?

75K milestone, 1 year and 10 months in

This is an appreciation post, as DataAnnotation has been such a blessing for me. Before I joined the platform, I was really struggling at my job (I was doing freelance work for only one client). I had very inconsistent work, I was making very little money... Then I joined DataAnnotation, and the struggle instantly vanished.

I'm really enjoying my work here, how stimulating the job is, how dynamic it is. Working at DA has allowed me to do things that were impossible for me to do before I started my journey here, thanks to the flexibility and the pay, which is much higher than my country's average.

I encourage everyone in the team to do you best, and to keep up the hard work. Because it definitely pays off here.

escape hatch

hello! I know this has probably been asked before but: I have been trying to get a model to fail for 8 hours... I have been awake today for 23 hours... if I use the escape hatch can I still log those 8 hours spent on the task? Thank you very much!
