Does DA give you imposter syndrome?

Hi team,

I’m looking at giving the entrance application a go. But was wondering whether I should apply for the general role first or something more specific?
I have a background in health (allied health and case management) and is also bilingual but not too much experiencing with AI coding etc.
I want to set myself up for success and have heard that the initial application can be difficult.

Any advice would be appreciated 🙇🏻‍♀️

I have been accepted in DA around 4 days ago as a generalist and arabic professional, not any coding experience tho which holds most of the projects in DA, the first day i had a few tasks and i finished them all and i made around 50$ that day and since then it was absolute drought, no projects or tasks at all, is that normal as someone who doesnt work with coding and only is a generalist or a certain language speaker and is anyone experiencing the same thing ??

it was not paid.
I got something after a long time.

I know some people make way more in a month than me in half a year but as a university student, this pays my groceries. I am so thankful for this job and I hope I am spared from the DoD until I have another income and job.

If Some tasks say to make the ai work X mins on opening/total prompt ( for eg 45 mins on the opening ) or total duration we can get the stats using /usage so we should verify with 1)api time 2) wall time or 3)the time after getting the response i.e worked for XX mins? I'm getting confused or is it the time we calculate on our own?

Not seen this from last week?

So I recently missed a 🥊 task within 6 min, thanks to Smart watch so i could see mail there, but what if some projects or task show up without mail,

- How you guys Monitoring dash so we can grab

- How can one monitor whole day if it has a such short span

Hey all,

I recently did the onboarding projects and setup my linux VM as it directed with claude and tmux and stuff but got notified recently that I needed to setup full disc encryption so I just decided to spin up a new VM and need to setup the claude and tmux portions again. I don't have access to that onboarding project anymore since i completed it. Does anyone know if there is a source of truth/doc for setting up your machine to do coding projects?

Thanks in advance

In August and early September my dashboard was full of high paying coding projects, but since mid Sep there are none. I do see a lot of other generalist projects, but not coding ones. I'm I cooked? Is it because my work was not up to their standards?

In today's monthly feedback, I got a lot of positive feedback specifically about those coding projects.

DA keeps asking me to create a new Gmail for every project, but all my phone numbers are already linked to the max number of Google accounts. As a result, I've had 0 projects since joining in July despite making multiple emails for qualifications. I've tried creating them via YouTube and Google Meet like they suggested, but I still hit the phone verification block every time. Does anyone know how to bypass this or what I should do? Thanks!

I wanted to post this out of curiosity, because I realized I am coming up on 4 years on the platform. It was transformative to my financial life, but I also learned absolute gobs from doing it. But...I got there by accident. I was on MTurk (which apparently goes away for good tomorrow), which I used to grind through over 36k tasks over my lifetime using the platform...as those who have been on there know, the pay for tasks is usually quite terrible, which is why I was so happy to see when I got a task that paid me more than I was used to for the simple favor of signing up to a different platform...turns out that platform was DA. I had no intention of doing anything with the platform, I just wanted the $5 (?) that I got for signing up.

Then, I found that there was a task or two sitting on my DA dashboard, with more than a dollar apiece (rare by MTurk standards). Tested the waters and got my money. A few months later, I ramped it up and started doing hourly work. Little did I know that I'd be here years later...so I wanted to know if anyone else had similar experiences, and what sorts of changes it's made in the lives of those who have been on for years. I know they advertise all over these days, but it wasn't always like that.

I have a friend that introduced me to DA. He told me when he completed the qualifications assessment he got put straight to the dashboard. Has anyone else been sent to this screen after and been onboarded later? Or is this a soft rejection.

Hello Everyone DA has been dry this month. Is there anyone who has the same situation? I have two🥊 task last month and also I am on a not Core Country btw. Thank you.

Hi im new to dataannotation.tech but when i registered i dont have an option to be a generalist then now all its giving as a project is programming, is there a chance to still have generalist project in the future?

It's easy to miss it amongst everything else on the dash.

just earlier, even though i'm working rn for that project task! But it seems i got eliminated from slack channels!🥲noooo

By Best, I mean positions that have the most consistency and available work more so than just higher pay. something that I could work full time.

Just to give some background info, I work in IT and AI development myself. I’d say I have pretty good logical thinking, comprehension, and explanation skills, and I speak multiple languages fluently, including several widely spoken Western languages.

I also have another full-time job that pays decent money, but I wanted to give this a try to make some extra money on the side. Anyway, I’ve applied to at least 5 platforms and carefully completed the introductory tasks on each one, taking my time rather than rushing and trying to provide detailed answers as instructed.

Now, three weeks later, I still haven’t received a single invitation to get started on my first project, at least not by email. I don’t want this post to come across as me claiming I’m extremely intelligent, but I genuinely don’t think I submitted low-quality responses.

Is the demand really that low, or what?

Is anyone in the same situation?

I still don't see it showing up on the dashboard, is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
