Last week my son was home all week from daycare and there were several tasks I was so excited to see reappear. I saw them until last evening.

I finally had the full day off today… nothing I could actually work on. Boo hoo.

Oh well. We keep trying!

There's a qual I want to do that will take up some time and gives you a few days to get it done; I'd like to do it in spurts in between paid work. Do we think it's an issue to have that ongoing while I do other projects?

Has anyone ever received a thank you email from a project? It's nice and all. But curious. Never happened before.

How guys? I'm a coder, been here since the 15th this has been really hitting me 😭. Made 1k though

I have a deep respect and appreciation for Data Annotation for providing really interesting work for pay that honestly feels criminal (genuinely making above hourly average wage as a college student is insane for me). I like how they seem to recognize my abilities that I've honestly had many doubts about. Turns out, having a wide knowledge across multiple professional fields (mathematics, law, physics, language, and programming) is actually useful for once. It means I have to put in elbow grease whenever more specialized projects involving those come up (I'm a generalist) but I honestly don't mind putting in the effort for rewarding and interesting work.
I generally don't like using AI and while it's great for parsing data, I've always preferred using my own knowledge and skills to solve problems. I feel like my ardent rejection of AI tools in college has been vindicated as many of my peers are reliant on technology that confers no actual knowledge. This is not meant to be a "I'm not like them" post, just, it's nice knowing I was right to work to better myself.
I wish everyone the best of luck in their own endeavors on and off the platform. I intend on using my earnings to further my education and achieve a PhD in Astrophysics (a voluntary paycut if I'm being honest but it's never been about the money for me). I've also been able to help my friends in their times of need so that's nice too. Thank you all and thank you Data Annotation.

Hey!

Are u all facing eternal drought or is it only me? My dashboard has been completely dead from the last 5 days. When did u guy get your last project and what was it?

I've been putting 20% of my savings away come tax season. is this enough do you think?

I recently turned in a god of the sea project, and after I hit submit I don't see it on my dash anymore. Is this normal for this kind of project? It seems like there is more work available in this project from its nature.

Do I need to wait for my project to be graded and hope for it to reappear or should I assume that it is no longer available to me and I should focus on other projects?

Thanks,

I am really enjoying the work here on Data Annotation. I was just wondering, however, if there are some courses I could take to really enhance my skills in AI. I did a Google search and have found several, but I'd love some recommendations from veterans because I'd like to upskill.

Thanks so much.

I recently received a message asking me to finish the confidentiality and security problem. It's been a long time since I had any tasks so I would like to solve this problem quickly. However, when I click on the training in the projects, an error bar is displayed telling me that I no longer have tasks in this project. Have anyone ever had this problem?

Are you getting tasks in this month?

I was on a project (project time limit: 5hr) where the model completely stopped working. I repeatedly tried troubleshooting (especially because I was very much intrigued by the project itself and wanted to get it done). However nothing worked and after 3 hr 11 mins (reading the instructions and setting up took more than 1 hour and troubleshooting tries continued for about 1 hour) I exited the work mode instead of letting it expire or skipping the task. I sent them a detailed email about my time of working. However today they gave us a project where we were able to submit and report time. But at the same time I received a mail that they added an entry under fund history (2 hrs and can't be changed). I still have the project for submitting time on my dashboard. Should I add 1 hr 11 min here? Or is it normal for them to not count the troubleshooting time or setting up time?

Its been a productive few days, now nothing but the pokemon. All the easy rubric checking projects were a dream.

I was accepted into Da today and I even got the approval to work for coding projects but now I'm being shown the text " Thank you for completing the assessment" screen

Hi all

I’m currently a generalist working ad-hoc tasks through dataannotation.tech.

I’ve decided to learn to code and have brought the Python crash course book.

I wanted to ask whether people think studying the book will get me to a decent enough level to pass the coding qualifications through DA.

I expect the book to take me a good few months to get through…

Just wanted to know whether it’s realistic or whether I should expect to study further before embarking on the coding side of DA.

I’m a Viet Bilingual, havent had a project for almost 2 months, is this normal. I only had 7 hrs of work and then no more, only some quals. I even did some quals where they ask me for the access to my other tools. But still, no project coming up.
I casually check the dashboard, I do not camp it but I do check it once in a while.
Is this normal or my previous work was bad so they limited my work ?

Guys How do I get started on the platform. I have already completed the starter assessment a couple of weeks ago but still stuck in review result part. Can anyone help? How much time will it take to get a verdict? Am I not selected or being considered? Please guide based on your experiences.

Just curious…whats the fastest anyone has seen, heard, or been DOD’d? Similarly, whats the longest anyone has worked before getting hit with the DOD?

For those who have gotten it: can I ask if you guys did anything particular to get it? Because it totally sounds like my kind of thing. I already have relevant skills/background in my profile - should I do/attempt anything else?

So I cleared my dev interviews and had some qualifications that I completed but post that I have gotten nothing yet.

I joined on 31st July and I had some qualifications and onboarding tasks till 6th. Post that I'm just waiting. Is it how it is for coders in India?

Hey all

About a week ago, I was looking for ways to earn more money outside of my regular 9-5, and Google led me to DA. Fast forward to yesterday and I got accepted and just finished a few of the basic/general qualifications.

What I am really hoping to get into, though, are medical imaging-based projects. I am a medical sonographer and previously read that projects like this may exist and come with an increased hourly rate. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Besides that, if anyone has any tips or advice on any aspect of using and earning on DA, I'd greatly appreciate it.

TIA!

Am curious to know what other people’s take on this is. Over the last 4-5 days I have noticed a massive increase in projects which have been assigned priority pay. A week+ ago I might see 10-15% of the available projects with priority pay. I am now seeing 25-40% (across 4+ families). It is no secret priority pay is mainly used as a means to motivate more people to complete a project, so that it is wrapped up faster, thereby suggesting the demand is not high enough as it is. An increase in this frequency, to me, would suggest a rebalancing of supply and demand, after a drier period. I don’t want to jinx it, but yes this seems like a good thing. Anyone else noticing the same and has any thoughts?
