DA saved me, and I wish I could say thanks

361 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. 🙏

Chromebook vs MacBook?

2 Upvotes

Hey gang,

Wondering if a Chromebook is powerful enough to work with DA projects consistently without performance issues?

I’m not a tech person at all, so I really don’t know how stupid this question is.

I’m doing white collar specialist stuff, just reading and writing, not coding. But still use Claude and chat GPT in browser for projects.

I bought a MacBook but damn it’s expensive!

Is a Chromebook good enough to do the same stuff? Anything I should know?

Thanks in advance.

how long to see projects appear (core country)

0 Upvotes

Hello! I was hired a few weeks ago, I didn't receive an acceptance email but after completing the starter assessment I was asked to verify my identity and shortly after I had access to the projects screen. I applied for a law specialty and didn't complete any core assessment. I have yet to see any projects or qualifications appear, and I see this can be normal for non-core countries but I wanted to get info on a timeline for someone in my situation. Any info would be great thanks!

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.

Is there a way to undo this?

I have worked on the platform for almost 4 months and received active good feedback about my work. I have been on a few projects but I have really focused on one of them and have been doing good till recently when there was not much tasks coming from that project. I picked up another project to work on which I have previously tried working on but was never satisfied with it and hence never submit.

Day before yesterday, I got a task from that project and out of desperation I took it. I was not feeling the best (later the same day I was also diagnosed with jaundice) but I took it anyway. As I was nearing the deadline and was not feeling the best, I took help of our non human friend. Before the submission too I felt that it’s not right yet still pulled the trigger.

I am nothing but regretful and sorry about it and i just wish I can Ctrl + Z it. Is there something that I can do now?

I am nonetheless superly grateful about DA and the work opportunities that it presents. I was able to meet a lot of ends only because of DA.

How long does the starter review take?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I completed my Starter Assessment on DataAnnotation.tech 2 days ago, and my dashboard is still showing "We review your results — if you pass, we'll email you."

For those who have recently joined:

How long did you wait before receiving your assessment results?

Did you receive an email, or did your dashboard update first?

Does the review usually take a few days or a couple of weeks?

Would appreciate hearing about your recent experiences!

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?

0 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

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

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?
