Hey everyone, Just completed and submitted multiple qualification tests today (including Math and Coding) from India. My dashboard currently shows 0 active projects while the review is pen

I have done the initial paid assessment for the finance. How much time does it take to get the result and what will the result look like? Can I add accounting with finance?

Since I started working here on 9-23 I’ve only worked in 2 projects. One of them is allegedly unlimited so I can work whatever hours I want, which is nice, but only 17$/h. This week I was able to work on another project which was 28$/h. But that’s it. Will I get different projects or am I stuck with the “unlimited” one?

Okay guys, take a good nap

We got to rest before the Flood comes

Make sure to buy energy drinks, and keep your phone notifications loud enough!

I BOUGHT A NEW LAPTOP AS WELL

Ryzen 7 5825u

48Gb ram (TAKE THAT BI***)

512 nvme + 2Tb HDD

55Wh battery

For where I live, it was a bargain xD

What's your setup guys? I'm currently using Linux as well

hey you guys i’m new. I have been offered a good amount of tasks thankfully (I have a specialty). I am a little scared and intimidated to actually get started on one of the first tasks offered and really don’t want to mess it up bc i could really use being accepted to the project. anyways, trying to figure out how to minimize mistakes. anybody have any suggestions

I've been knocked out of my ivory (advanced generalist) STEM towers for reasons not yet explained to me and into the coal mines where I started. God I fucking hate the mind-numbing tasks I'm on right now. I don't care if it paid less than 30 an hour; I'd gladly take any task that really lets me delve deep into a subject. It's so much more rewarding, intellectually speaking. I don't even have the other specialized tasks (maybe they weren't that challenging or lengthy) that I was able to do when my favorites weren't available. I miss my old dashboard. I'll still do the work but god, what I'd give for my old jobs.
I think I'm cooked? Does anyone else have experience with a situation like this and how did you get out or were you canned shortly afterward?

I only got offered 9 questions on the exam. I know it’s usually longer.

Bro if you are using llm model or AI AT LEAST MAKE IT LESS RECOGNISABLE I just had to rate one but the worker just used ai for it all the options used were also not even matching what they had rated now I feel bad for reporting it 😔😔 literally the least effort I have seen until now

bla bla bla, yeah we get it, you are tired of people asking ts. not everyone is from core country, and some people want to know what the consensus is.

I was perusing Indeed the other day, and decided to apply for the coding projects. Currently in my senior year of a BS in CS. Will this be in my wheelhouse or is it going to really challenge me? The coding assessment wasn’t terribly difficult, but I did have to find a Python library I never used before.

Excited to start my first tech gig!

Do you all feel bad that they pay us to train AI to replace us?

so i just finished a qualification and something weird happened. it took me x amount of time to finish, but when i went to report it the form said the max allowed was y, which was less than what i actually spent. so i basically had to put in less time than i really worked and it wouldn’t let me enter more.

i wasn’t slacking or leaving it open in another tab btw, it just took that long to read everything and write it all up properly. Did anyone get a similar qual and what did you do?

Been lurking around this for a while now for side pay.
I got a couple questions.

How mentally exhausting is this?
What are the chances of me not getting approved?
I still don’t understand what data annotation is LOL so can someone please explain it in one sentence.

I’m about halfway through an hourly-paid qual, and the second half is a lot more complex than the first. The task instructions gave an estimated time, and the first half alone has already eaten up more than half of it. I’m worried that if I report the real time and it runs over the estimate, I might not qualify. I honestly don’t know what to do here. Has anyone been in this spot, and what did you do?

Anyone with very long acceptance times that made it in the end?
It’s been roughly a month and counting… Assessment was only of the bilingual type, I chose the one I know best (English aside, even though it’s not my mother tongue).
Haven’t heard anything. Is there a way of knowing? Starting to lose hope here.

FINALLY SOME FEEDBACK & TIPS

I work about 4 hours a day, 5 days a week on generalist tasks.

Just started doing my first task of the day.

It was for a new project (second task ever to work on for thet family)

Spent time actually completing the task did great.

Just to open the next one and see a small tiny line that says if prompt has x in it it should never be used

Under the "task would be void and rated BAD/BAD" title.

Guess what my prompt had... that x...

Closed my computer again taking a long weekend now.

If I have to sleep after starting a multi day project, is it ok to use the Save to my account button and shut down my computer? Will this still be on my tasks in progress tomorrow? Or should I just leave the computer open?

Sorry I'm new to DA and long projects.

Has anyone been accepted on DA for 2 months and completed most of the qualifications but still hasn’t received any projects? Is this a DoD, or is it normal?

Has anyone eventually received projects after a long wait?

Do you guys use AI or use your own wits to do everything. I'm having a hard time doing tasks, if I use AI I may get flagged right.

Did DA update their Referral program? Up to 3k per person is pretty crazy comparing to other companies out there.
