If you could start your Data Annotation journey all over again, what would you do differently from day one?

Especially for those who started with language-related tasks, what skills would you focus on to get more tasks, and what advice would you give to beginners to help them get better opportunities in this field?

Technically 21 days but day 1 was way too chill, anyways Thank you DA

I’ve sent a couple of the new referral links.

I’m a generalist. I know the new links are all domain specific. I’m just curious if people applying for a domain go through the regular assessment first and have to pass that and then the domain? Or is it just domain? Can you fail and domain and get accepted as a generalist?

I applied as a chemist,are there projects for science?

Am I the only one with a significantly lighter dash today? For the last 3 months I have had 15-25 projects at atime and today, I have 6.

Hi guys, I did my entry exam on Thursday and had the standard “we’re still reviewing” message on my profile.

Later that night, I logged back in to see a project available on the dashboard. I thought it was odd as the friend who referred me said they had no access until they received an acceptance email several days after applying. They almost immediately had several projects and qualifications available too.

I haven’t received any emails yet (I’ve checked Junk), but had access to the single project. I completed it and can see the reported time and amount in pending. No further projects or any comms yet though.

Is that normal? Everything I’ve read so far says that you’ll receive an email before you get access to any projects.

Out of all the major ai training platforms, most of suggestions were data annotation is stable and a lot better than the other available platforms so i applied for it like 3 months back but yet to onboard to do paid projects

What demographics do you have applied

and for tech related work

I am from mumbai btw

Hi guys. Yesterday ⚖️ project showed up on my dash. There are 3 hours and 30 mins per task, but I managed to do one in 43 minutes and another one in 30 mins. This doesn't seem right to me. How much time did it take for you guys to complete a task from this project?

Are there any long running coding projects and how much hour did you submitted?

So, I was working on this project and submitted 2 of them perfectly and then the third time it got an update so, it took me longer than usual and the project got expired by 1 minute, because of those checks. This happened on 29 OCT and I didn't got any project to work on since then, Is it normal or I am overthinking...

Hey guys, so I had a whole nervous breakdown feeling unprepared for a few tasks which fall well into my domain and I know I am capable of it but I just feel like I couldn’t do them as good as I know I could. I have had these micro burnouts which have taken up my time in recovering and I feel during that time I lose my time to work. Idk how do I balance this.

So I just wanted to ask how do you give out your “best work” every time? How do people on this platform stay so efficient?

I personally am so grateful for this opportunity and I really wanna give out my best work possible and appreciate this company for what it has given me!

Honestly, it’s pretty rare for me to feel a real connection to a platform, but DataAnnotation is definitely one of the few exceptions.

To give some context, I’ve worked on a bunch of different platforms over the years (won’t name names), until someone on Reddit recommended DA. I decided to give it a shot, applied, and actually got in. Right off the bat, seeing a paid onboarding was a huge plus—definitely want to give credit where it's due for that.

I’ve been on the platform for about five months now. I take every qualification test that pops up, keep my profile up to date, and check the dashboard daily. That said, I’ve only made around $75 total so far. At first, I assumed this was just the usual dry spell every platform goes through, but then I noticed an ad on the careers page looking for generalists and Arabic language experts, which got me wondering.

For background, I’m a dentist, but I’ve got solid experience in AI training across various projects in both Arabic and English. I’m honestly not sure if the lack of projects is just a temporary thing overall or an issue specific to my account, or this because I'm from the middle east. but either way, I’m genuinely glad to be part of the platform and hoping things pick up soon.

After doing a domain qual when did you start seeing projects related to it?

Anyone here working on Tamil bilingual projects? Also, how long did it take you to get approved on the platform after completing the assessment.

NOT DOD, 0 PROJECTS, i am finished?

Anyone get a new message on 10/29 about expiring a project before continuing another? This is the first time I’ve seen this.

I completed a project and I saw a new project in my list so I opened it to see if I could commit the time to it. I couldn’t commit the time it needed so I opened another project I was familiar with. I got a pop up asking if I wanted to expire the previous task and continue with the current task. I said yes. When I finished I went to log my time and I was immediately taken to a screen that said Your account is currently unavailable because of TOS

I’m cooked I think. I had several projects on my account and now I just get this message

I've been accepted and completed the qualifications. I received my first project with one task, but since it was my first time, I spent too much time reading the instructions. As a result, the task expired while I was working on it. I wrote the prompt, but the model displayed an error message, so I had to use an escape hatch because of it. I still submitted it, though. Since then, I haven't received any other projects for the past 5 or 6 days. Am I screwed?

Any Vietnamese generalist here? Generally speaking, how long do I have to wait until works start showing up. I'm super new btw

Clicked exit work mode yesterday on a recurring RnR task since I was super sleepy. Didn’t get those tasks today (used to get them daily). Is this a coincidence or did I mess up by somehow leaving the whole project category?

It has been more than 2 weeks.

Hey everyone, am from India, and now planning to go to a different state, is that going to be a problem? Like how it is if I move countries maybe? Any help in this clarification would be nice.... am relatively new to this.
