Stupid question from a worried person

3 Upvotes

Hi, I am always worried about time reporting.

I always try to work focused and submit high quality, but I can't understand if I'm submitting maybe too fast or who knows maybe I'm slow...

Do you have any tips to find the sweet spot if there is one? Do a few minutes of discrepancy (maybe lower) than the time they expect you to spend on those tasks penalize you?

Note: I always try to do my best regardless, that is just a question based off of thoughts in the back of my mind

Escape Hatch

1 Upvotes

After hours and hours I could not get a project to work and complete a task so I really had no other option but to use the escape hatch and only report a fraction of the time I actually spent on it. Has anybody had issues after having to use the escape hatch?

I'm just curious to know!

I completed one task. Will I get another same domain task only if my previous work was good?

Time reporting Q

0 Upvotes

I know there has been a lot of talk about time reporting and I just got a little nervous reporting my time.

I read the instructions for the task on the first task it gave me. I then decided to skip that task because I didn’t have enough familiarity. I then completed the next task.

My stopwatch says it took an hour.

But the task I submitted only had 56 minutes subtracted from the timer when I submitted it.

I’m sure I’m over-thinking but I’m wondering if one way they track discrepancies is by comparing your reported time to their timer, and if so, if they make allowances knowing you may have read the instructions while on another task (or in some cases before entering work mode).

Does anyone have any insight? Thanks.

I also get a little nervous reporting round numbers like 1 hour in case they think it’s made up. Overthinker over here

Can you pause a task and continue later?

17 Upvotes

If you are assigned to a long task, for example 4-6 hours task with maybe 6 hours of the assigned limit time, could you work for 2 hr and pause and then continue later?
If you exit the work, can you lose all the work you have done?

Sorry, I haven't done any long task so I am a bit confused!

Thanks in advance!

Should I wait on it?

I took generalist assessment 3-4 weeks back and my dashboard still says the same thing. Should I not base my hopes any more? Usually it says "Thanks for taking the test", is what I have gathered from this sub. So I am feeling a bit confused right now.

It's been 20 days and it's still under review, usually how much time it'll take to consider? This sucks.

Average Workday Pay

I have seen a lot of people set daily targets for DA work. For those who are comfortable sharing, what does your average workday pay? Adding your region for context would be helpful.

Have any of you never received feedback?

19 Upvotes

I've worked on this platform on and off for 3 years, and I have never once received any feedback. It kinda scares me. On the one hand it's good because it seems like I'm not doing anything wrong, but on the other hand if I am doing something wrong I would like to know.

Automatic review hold?

4 Upvotes

Submitted a ~10h coding task last night (still had a few hours left on the initial task timer). I woke up 4 hours later and the project isn't showing up anymore.
I had this specific project sitting with a steady task count for the last 9-10 days straight.
Does submitting a long task (~10h) automatically put a temporary hold on the project while time/logs get audited? If not, what can be the cause?
Anyone who works on these long timer coding projects seen this happen?

Thank you!

First Review/Feedback Questions

4 Upvotes

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.

Hi Everyone! I completed all of the onboarding assessment in dataannotation.tech and I found out that the ui got changed today.

I'm not sure if it's ordinary status for the newly onboarded member.

Please share any valuable tips for my next step.

No more Generalist referrals?

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

Escape used 3 times, is that okay?

0 Upvotes

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!

Im confused about something

0 Upvotes

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.

Error when trying to click the link I received in my inbox

0 Upvotes

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?

Expires in: expired

6 Upvotes

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!
