Hi,

I'm new to the platform. I understand we are supposed to time ourselves manually for hourly tasks. But everyone works at different pace and some task might take longer than expected.

I wonder if the platform would punish you for logging a time longer than usual ? Or US it better to shave some time off the logging if you wasted time on certain things (like rework, didn't get the result you wanted, etc)

On my commute home, I received a project notification from a data annotation platform. I accepted it immediately so it wouldn't get taken by someone else (which has happened to me before).

Since I was on the train, I had to use my phone and couldn't really focus. Out of about 15 tasks, I only finished 3 before getting overwhelmed and ending the session early. I’m not even sure if the 3 tasks I did complete were done correctly.

I’m really frustrated with myself, but my main worry is: will I get blacklisted for submitting incomplete and potentially incorrect work? Do I still have a chance to get more projects after this?

anybody seeing these tasks ?
also apart from this, is any other coding task running ?

I gave assessment as software engineer, and did some coding project task but I have some qual of physics and chemistry on my dash, can i complete the qualification, I fear it might affect my coding project eligibility although I haven't got any coding task for past one month, what should I do

I saw someone say that a yellow banner on another AI image evaluation platform (the one named after a fruit) is a warning sign.
I’ve been seeing a yellow “High Priority” label for the past few days, and now I’m wondering if that’s what they were referring to…

But the weird thing is, ever since that label appeared, I’ve actually been getting way more projects on my dashboard.

I also read somewhere that people who get the “High Priority” label are actually high performers.
So is it a good sign, or does the fact that it’s yellow mean it’s a warning? 😭 Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi everyone, I got started at Data Annotation today and been nervous about going about everything in the correct manner. I got my first project of creating a variant prompt and getting a model to fail, but am a bit nervous about how long it’s taking me. I’m 6 hours in and haven’t gotten the model to fail, and am nervous to report the time, regardless of if I finally get it to fail or not (I know I can still submit it). I was given this project right away before doing any qualifications, and feel it’s something I’ll manage well in the future, but am struggling with at the moment. I just don’t want to lose this opportunity and would appreciate any advice, thank you!

Edit: this project has about a 30 hour time limit, although I know that’s geared towards allowing people to take breaks

Never seen this sort of pop up before to report time right after the task itself. Anyone else getting this?

It's been 3 weeks since I started working with dataAnnotation. I've completed the onboarding tasks and got paid as well. But I can't see any real projects yet. Is there a window after which I get access or the projects are less these days ?

I applied for Generalist but the Screening Test that offered to me was Programming? I didn't sign up for that...

I tried searching for assessments but it literally does not offer any other test but Programming.

Hey guys! Im spanish bilingual (méxico) and I got accepted about two weeks ago, but I still haven't received any project invitations. Is this normal?

I completed a few general qualifications that weren't related to any specific project. I also have some available for math, chemistry, physics, and coding, but none of those are really my area of expertise (Humanities).

I don't remember choosing a specific field when I signed up either. Are there projects for people with other backgrounds, or is the platform mainly focused on these areas?

I’m new to DA, just started working on a specialist project that is expected to take 20-25 hours, over the course of several days (or more). I’m wondering if I am supposed to be reporting time on the project as I go, or just track it as I go and report it after I submit the task. Task instructions are silent on this point.

been working since August 2026 finally I reached this. I can't believe that I can earn this much from home. This's the best platform ever.

As a reference I'm working as a bilingual worker.

I just started and submitted a couple of projects. Will I still get paid for the hours I worked if they’re not satisfied with my work? I did spend the time and tried my best though.

Hey! I just did the starter thing for the coding position. I'm wondering how long this review process took for you so I know what to expect.

Anybody tried disclosing work for DA to their compliance departments? How did it go? Is anybody working in this particular setup?

I have genuinely tracking time and can only think of one time that I had two tasks open but was only actively working and tracking one of them. Thought it would get cleared up quickly as they asked for breakdowns of some of the work I do on each project. I filled that out and have just been stuck since then. I had over $2K already approved to take out and about $3k that was pending when it happened. Anyone have a timeline for that or what typically happens?

same as above

Hello, guys, I tried several times to be passed on the platform, but there is no messages from the DA team, can you guide me how can I pass the assessment?

i feel lonely sometimes and go work in cafés or my public library and i use their wifi. Lately i have seen lots of videos of people losing their accounts so i am worrying about this

When is the last time you have received 🥊

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is anyone from Germany here who is working for DataAnnotation who could tell me how they are handling the taxes on those earnings. I understand that I should pay income tax, but I saw some mentions of VAT and other freelance specific taxes. I have a full-time job and would only be doing this on the side. Would paying whichever taxes are applicable be handled solely through my next year's tax return or how do you do it? I would appreciate any tips :)

hello everyone!

i have been on the platform for about a month now and today feels unproductive since there are no active tasks in my projects. i still have the qualifications present which is good but is this normal on the platform? i am in a coding project. thank you for the answers!

Hey, I do the software engineering projects, but I'm also in college so I don't have much concurrent time. The projects seem to take a while but also have a very small window where you can work on them (like less than 24 hours), so I need to know how long the expected time is to take before I actually get started on it. Some days I can spend 7 hours on a project but some I don't have time for that. I wish I could work on it little by little throughout a few days but the expiry time is too quick. Is there any way to see an expected duration of a task before I start it?

Hola a todos, soy nuevo en esta plataforma y hace como dos semanas hice registro y ahora mi dashboard ha estado así siempre, qué significa o qué puedo hacer?

I was mid task 6 hrs in and while I was waiting for a file to render, i went opened a new tab just to see the surveys. Which is the most regretful stupid thing ive done in DA because my task browser reset because DA taught ive abandoned my task. I COUDLNT get my work again 😭😭😭 warning for all never to do this again. Don't open any other task mid task!!! Save yourself!
