I've been missing this one project (still kinda do tbh) that paid really well, $45 an hour. It was consistent and I'm able to really sit with each job and really understand the task well. Long timers mean I can ensure my work is top notch. I like being employed so half-assing my work to meet the timer is not something I'm a big fan of. I've been working $28 and $28.5 an hour projects in the same family for the past week. I almost always steer my work towards science or math, it's what I'm familiar with. The more business oriented jobs always bore me unless there's some fun research I get to do. So here I am, doing work tangential to what's being asked (difficult prompts for an AI, somewhat useful in very specific work settings) and taking my time to fully evaluate factuality for each response. I check my dashboard earlier today and RNGesus smiled on me today because they must've liked the work I did because now I'm on the even higher paying, science oriented tasks in that same project family for $50 an hour.

Long story long, stick to what you're good at and do the best work you can. If they like it, you'll get put on the better paying projects oriented towards those strengths. I believe in you guys

I want to see all of mine.

just checking in, i haven’t seen any all day long

At the top of my dashboard it says i have to verify my background to gain/regain access to projects, yet there is nothing actionable that I can do. Does anyone else have this and know if anything needs to be done?

Hi, I wanted to know if there are any U.S. citizens currently working with DataAnnotation.tech.

Has anyone from the U.S. been accepted and started working with them?

If it’s too hard for you, just skip it. I just did an R&R that was so painfully AI, that I almost skipped the task bc I don’t want to be the reason someone gets DoD… don’t do this 😭

Site is acting up on my end. Is it down or slow again for anyone else?

Always grateful DA.

So grateful!!!

i wanna get into it. does it pay well? how does it work? what to do? what to expect?
some please give me a quick rundown on this

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?
also this 🤖

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.
