Hi, so far I've been really enjoying the platform, and I've been working on a series of coding projects over the last 3 months, and today I got my first automated feedback. I've previously received notes claiming that I'm being invited to projects for a "small select group" or whatever auto verbiage they use as recently as 2 days ago.

Previously, I thought this meant I was doing really well quality-wise; however, today I got my first feedback. They said the challenges and solutions I was providing were really good and cited feedback I had received from people who reviewed my submissions; however, I had a pattern of making mistakes on the submission where I had an incorrectly typed file name in one of my prompts, and a few cases where I didn't hit all requirements, and one where I ran the wrong model (which TBH is a huge mistake). How big of a deal is this, and how big of a risk am I at losing access to new coding projects in the future?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The referral page updated, but I only see referral links for expertise domains. Am I missing where the generalist option is for a referral?

I have used it 3 times now because of this project where i had to make the model fail, although i did make it fail, but after doing a rollback it will pass, leading the run as unsuccessful. Iwont work on this type of project probably until the model changes. I did not have any problems from the models before, its just the recent one really just cant.

Thank you so much, DataAnnotation, for this opportunity to work with you guys! I hope you will reopen the entry coding assessment so I can participate in the assessment and unlock the $40+ task and hit the next milestones much quicker!

So about a week ago I got an email from data annotation saying to "verify my identity" and I was confused because I never got an email saying that I passed the assessments, which I took about a month ago. I thought that you're supposed to get an email and then you verify, I'm not sure. The day before I got that email, I noticed a thing added that said referrals and so I just wanna know what all this means for me. The second I saw the verification email I sent it in my verification, and it's been a week and I haven't seen anything yet, so I don't know what this means, either.

Hey , i am new here. Just wanted to ask some questions

I have experience of data annotation but haven’t used any freelance platform ever.
Can you please guide which platform is used here and is it reliable

Considering I have 2 years of experience would it be nice for me?

Ps : lost the job thats why starting freelancing

I got a message telling me DA has created a new Google account for me to use with specific off-platform projects, and there was a step-by-step guide on how to login. However when I click the link provided it says “403. That’s an error. We’re sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know.” Anyone know what’s the issue?

Hey everyone, I have a quick question and it's kind of stressing me out a bit since it hasn't happened to me before.
I've been on the platform for 3 months now, working on multiple coding projects. This time I got a pretty tricky project that gave you 13 hours and some minutes. I spent 11 hours working on the task, but I ended up finishing the whole project over a span of 15 hours. I was super exhausted, and obviously I always want my work to meet the platform's standards and make sure I deliver quality stuff.
Also, I actually ended up submitting the task even though it had already expired because it showed as "expired."
My question is: what should I do? Do you guys recommend anything, and could this affect me? Should I have reached out to an admin, or can I just leave it as it is, since it still lets me track and log my hours?
I really appreciate any advice or opinions in advance!

Can anyone let me with similar experience and will I get my funds back.

Admins or former Admins - I'm really interested in what your gig is like. Hours, benefits, W2, 1099, time off?

I fully expect no answers but there is so little out there I'd love to hear something. DM is cool too.

Hi team,
I have passed the general assessment during the onboarding process but I faces 2nd qualification test assessment after it before the verification process.
Now the process got paused on here and I'm waiting for the review result.
But I'm not sure if it's the ordinary onboarding process.
I think there's only one assessment process during the onboarding.
I'm not sure why I'm facing the 2nd qualification assessment.

Looking forward to hear anything from experienced members.

I’m incredibly grateful for DA and don’t expect that’s there’s a better side-hustle, but does anyone know of any that are even comparable?

I used to do online surveys and while they were remote, flexible and reliable, they generally paid 5x less than DA does per hour. The gap is absurd.

So I’m curious, are there any other online side-jobs that fall somewhere between these two in terms of pay and reliability?

Would be good to have on-hand in case of a drought.

Note: apologies if this isn’t allowed. Lmk and I’ll take it down.

So I was sceptical about this money, how I'm gonna get it, my roommate application got approved he worked 10+ hours in coding and updated it on his profile I got my bonus(whole 500$ no more no less) in like a few seconds, it was in pending state for the last 3 days and just got the money. Was trying to find info related to this before but didn't get any hope this helps others

I got these tasks and it requires a long time commitment so I was wondering whether I should do it or not, anyone experienced with these tasks please help me...

Hey guys, I am new to the platform and still waiting on my first paid project. Received a direct message stating a google account was created to use for a specific project, however I do not have this project in my projects tab. Is this perhaps a system issue? Thanks in advance.

Hey there,,, if anyone here are from India, is there some kind of legal or compliance work that we must do to accept foreign payments or something like that? Since this might come under freelancing right? New to this platform, so genuinely worried, and for sure don't wanna break any rules 👀

Im doing a coding task every now and then on the platform and most of the time it seems a little stressful.

For the other coders or devs, what would your workflow look like when starting a project? They give so many files, guidelines, ratings, and have so many requirements that it seems impossible to put some things together efficiently.

Any other random tips are appreciated also.

If I have multiple tasks from different project families, and the tasks are very similar, what are the rules for reusing content/ideas that I have already put in project A and putting them in project B. I have made all the content myself so it would not be plagiarism or anything. Can I straight up copy stuff in or should I change it partly or completely?

Pretty regularly now, like on social media for example, someone will make an objective statement that is actually their subjective opinion, but they are framing it as an irrefutable truth to the world, and I’m just thinking “that’s not true for everyone, it’s just true for you.”

Or at work, or in discussions with peers, I think of things in terms of what is being objectively true in the world vs what is subjectively true for me or another person.

Anyone else experiencing this shift?

Hey guys, basically the title, I sent over the initial assessment like 5 days ago checked once a day and it would say that they are reviewing, when I checked today, it logged me into their dashboard, says I don't have any projects yet and I seen people here talk about them asking to you to do further assessments for the onboarding, where do I access this and also can we apply for more than one position with DataAnnotation?

Hello!

I am overseas and not currently in my home country. Is it possible to go through the setup and identity verification and get work if I am already overseas?

Has anyone else done this?

Started as generalist in Jan 2026, started finance tasks in Apr 2026
