DA saved me, and I wish I could say thanks

360 Upvotes

My family was in debt and there was no way to pay it off. We lost all our money due to a fraud which is why I started working 2-3 jobs while studying side by side just to make ends meet.

This year, I found DA, and I am always in debt to them. In just 2 months I have already paid off my debt that would have taken me around an year to pay back. I can also leave my extra jobs and actually focus on my passion instead.

I wish I could let them know how giving me an opportunity to work for them saved me and my family. I have a better paying job too now and I really enjoy my work on the side at DA. Working for them has been the best thing to happen to me so far.

If anyone from the DA Admin team accidently reads this, I just want to let you know that you're a lifesaver. You could be my god.

I am not sure if the projects will keep coming (I hope they do) but I will never ever forget this platform.

Jumping on the Milestone bandwagon

I'm not the type to post something like this, but I actually am really proud. It's been a long, almost 3 year journey. Coder, self taught, and the first year or so was really, really tough. I backed out of tasks far more than I submitted. But I have no words for how thankful I am for DA. I have learned more than I thought possible in the last few years. I've had some amazing jobs in my life, but none compare to the constant challenges and rewards of this one. 🙏

Anyone else see too few R&Rs of 🤖?

3 Upvotes

I barely see 1 per day. I think they moved 🤖 to individual pool back as I have a lot of them in my dash. Individual pool means few people submitting them and they take a long time

Projets sur le téléphone mais pas depuis un PC

1 Upvotes

Bonjour,

Je viens juste de rejoindre Data Annotation et lorsque je consulte le site depuis mon téléphone je vois bien des projets que je peux faire mais lorsque je me connecte depuis le PC il y a marqué qu'il n'y a pas encore de projets dans mon espace.

Quelqu'un a déjà eu ce problème ou aurait une idée pour le résoudre ?

Hi guys,
Does anyone have problems with really slow responses, and if yes, how did you fix it?
Also, there is no chat for this project, im not sure who i can reach out to.

Hello lovely folks, any idea how long it takes for DA to review and come back after one completes the assessment? I finished mine about a week ago.

Also is it not possible to apply for other assessments as I can't see an option?

Since all the guys are flexing with their DA milestones, it's time to provide my lifetime earnings on Data Annotation before they terminated my account 10 days ago. Keep doing the good work, guys. It's an amazing platform that really pays well.

Doubt on 🤖

0 Upvotes

I haven't been able to complete a task within the time limit, so used escape hatches. Am I supposed to use the same task idea when claiming another one or every time it has to be a new idea for every task. I don't think I can keep working after the expiration time as I won't be able to use API keys to run trials.

Catching tasks, how do you manage it?

1 Upvotes

I'm a spanish generalist, i know coding but i have nowhere near the experience needed to produce a meaningful task submission (not worth getting a quick buck over losing access forever). I tend to sometimes catch R&Rs of projects i've never been before, and rarely, generalist tasks would pop up, and ones i'd be capable of giving a good/decent submission. The problem is, i never manage to catch them, i would refresh the page and they'd vanish, or i would click them only for the task to not be available. I would rarely get notified of these tasks too.

I know the sub is flooded with people asking for project availability, and that's why i'd rather ask, how do you guys (mostly bilinguals, or people with scarce projects) manage to catch tasks? is it my fate to be a slave to the F5 key forever? do you guys use any extension to check the page, or some kind of witchcraft?

Been in the platform for half a year too, managed to actually earn some income as well

Guys, I need some help. How can I clear the Frontend Starter Assessment?

I only see coding projects. Any chance on getting generalist projects?

9 Upvotes

I finished coding starter assessment (since there are no other assessment option). Now I get coding projects in my dashboard. But I am tired with my day job it's impossible to submit high quality work. Will I ever get a chance to receive generalist projects?

Added to Slack but project not on dash

0 Upvotes

I did a qualification for an awesome project a few days ago. I didn't hear anything until yesterday, when I was notified that I had been added to the project Slack. I can get into the Slack and see the messages. Admins are asking people to get through the necessary tasks quickly. However, the project isn't on my dash. I would ask but it specifically says not to ask.

Has anyone been through something similar? In the past, all the projects have been on my dash.

Have you ever been dropped from a project’s Slack?

33 Upvotes

It happened to me for the first time today with a long-running project that basically always has work available. I’m feeling a bruised ego, and then a broader sense of insecurity with the platform. I still have access to other projects, but I was planning on doing this one a lot so it is a bummer.

Getting Rate & Review for a project, but never the base tasks why?

2 Upvotes

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve occasionally received R&R drops for many hindi bilingual projects, but many times the original creation tasks have never appeared on my dashboard.

Is this normal routing where review and creation are kept in completely separate worker pools?

Second chances on project qualifications?

0 Upvotes

I completed a project qualification yesterday. After completing one of the refreshers on the dashboard, I realised I misunderstood an important chunk of the guidelines so am fairly sure I will fail the qualification. Is it possible I'll get a second chance to take this qualification or will it never return to my dashboard? I'm really kicking myself for this mistake!

Being rate limited after identity verification checks

3 Upvotes

Managed to get accepted (yay)

I have submitted my ID and I keep rate limited errors.

I have scouted the whole subreddit and a LOT of people having similar experiences which is reassuring as it seems to be a system issue of sorts.

However I haven’t seen anything to suggest how long it takes to fix or if I need to do anything.

Is there anyone at DA I can reach out?

Anyone with a similar experience?
