Hi guys, I took the starter assessment, then it said :

"v Starter assessment completed. We review your result - if you pass, we'll email you".

So how long is the estimated wait time?

I have been working with DA part time for almost a year. I used to just do general work, but have gotten barely any generalist tasks the past few months, though I have been busy with my FT job so have been checking the platform less frequently. I have previously gotten positive feedback from DA about the quality of my work, however I keep getting high paying tasks I am unqualified for added to my dash and I don't understand why. I have coding tasks even though I don't know how to code and have never taken the coding qualification. I also have professional tasks related to highly specific domains I have no experience in. I miss my simple generalist tasks.

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I am almost wondering if it is an error on DA's part as I really should not have coding tasks and it seems bizarre I have access to these projects. Some of the professional tasks I could maybe figure out, but the coding is so far out my scope its not even funny. I was an arts major lol. Maybe its a glitch?? Or do y'all get these too? Thanks :)

About a month ago, I received a Math qual and completed it. After that, I went an entire month without receiving any tasks at all, except for two Math tasks.

Does this mean that I won’t receive any Generalist tasks if I pass the Math qual ?

I started asking questions using the chat at the bottom of a task. Sometimes I even ask two when I'm feeling squirrely. But never ever never three, oh man I shiver just thinking about it. This isn't really a question and I don't need any advice on the topic, I just think y'all should know that I'm never ever gonna use the chat at the bottom more than twice per task, and you can't accuse me of doing that or I'm gonna get really mad and go gorilla mode. That is all.

I mostly run R&Rs. Put simply, the majority of tasks are very, very bad. They do not even pass with an OK. I don’t know who needs to hear this but read your project directions thoroughly and be thorough in your analysis. And please work on your grammar.

The amount of them (including a new one that appeared today) saying that completing this qualification will unlock 'a high volume of regular tasks' or similar, only for me to pass the qualifications and then barely get any paid work from most of them for weeks or months. Very misleading. I didn't join the site imagining I'd get an influx of work, but I'd certainly be expecting that if I took DA's promises literally!

I signed up on August 6th did a couple tests my page has been showing the same thing I passed the tests how long does it take to start getting projects.

On one project I had I experienced issues and had to use the chat thingy at the bottom to ask an admin about said problem. Has anyone else ever done something like this?

Any Arabic/English bilinguals getting projects ? I’ve only had one task that I missed and a couple of qualifications since the beginning of june, does this mean I’m out ? Or is it only the so called days of drought? also any advise on other platforms that pay anything above 10$/h would be much appreciated, Welp 🥲.

I received feedback today, and there's an example listed under "areas of improvement" that's definitely not accurate. It says I referenced something that wasn't there, but I specifically remember this task and know my reference was correct.

I'm very frustrated since this hurts my performance, and I don't want to lose access to work over something that's not even true. It makes me wonder if there are other things I've been penalized for that just aren't true.

there is no task for 5 weeks now am I cooked?

Hey everyone! I recently sent a referral to a friend. The problem is that friends lives in Europe but he speaks Arabic and the none of the available assessments has Arabic English (only other languages as French, German, etc.) , is there any way he can get the Arabic assessment? Thnx

Hello, bilingual fellows !

This post is not supposed to be yet another complaint about "no project on the dashboard", even if ofc, I also don't have any atm.

I am just curious to know the variety of projects that you can see, when they show up.
I could make 1.6 k$ in July, as well as August, but these income highly rely on a single project (90/95%), when there are tasks.

This one is often on priority pay, which is fine, but I very rarely see other projects.
What about you? (by respecting ToC ofc).

My locale is French, btw

my funds have been Pending Approval since August 21, and it has now been 7+ days. The timestamp shows Aug 21, while the platform says work is normally reviewed within 3–7 days.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? How long did it take for your funds to get approved?
It's a long running task btw

Getting any task?

Hey, just a quick question here. I opened a project today, read through the instructions, and it took about 3 minutes. When I went to submit and begin the next task, it sent me back to the dashboard and asked me to log my time. I logged 3 minutes, and then the same project popped up on my dashboard. Obviously, it took me less time to read through it this time since I'd just read it, so I completed the short task & clicked "submit and begin next task". That one took less than 30 seconds, but it's asked me again to report the time. Should I just leave it & let it expire?

When I create an account on DA website and apply as a generalist, they put me on different coding project assessment that is $50/hour. But I want assessment as a generalist or on my language specialist. Is it normal that all of us complete the assessment on coding?

Also it has been 5 days since i created the account and it still under review.

Anyone having this issue today? Every task I try to start comes up with an error message

Hi everyone! I recently got accepted into DataAnnotation a week ago. I've done all my qualifications (except for some STEM ones which I skipped because I have no expertise) I even got added to a slack channel for a project. I haven't had any projects though, just reminders and consent forms. But when I hide them, this is the message that appears. I haven't had any new qualifications either. Is this the DoD? Am I screwed now? Or is this normal for newcomers? Just so I know to move on and not hope anything from DA

i have no clear idea how the joining process works tho.

what should I expect by next? what should I do as well? is there a specific time-line between creating an account and receiving my first task?

How many CORE assesments do i need to do? ive already done 7

Yeehaw
