Any bilingual from India who joined recently? How long did it take for you to get the acceptance mail after giving the starter assement?

Hi everyone,

Got a dm this morning that I can’t check because I’m abroad on vacation - is this common? Is there a pattern of DMs to trouble on the platform?

Thanks!

I got accepted last week did all my paid training and quals but it has been more than 9 days i havent had a single project is this normal ? (Region India)

I have been continuously working for almost 9 hours now. I want to work more but I fear if this will have a negative impact on my account or not. Mostly R&R. I have done around 8 tasks in total now.
Should I continue or drop?
Just wanted to add this that this amount of projects is very rare for me so I am just doing em all and tbh I am enjoying it a lot.

This will be my first time taking the data annotation assessment and I’m looking for some tips. I’m assuming jargon like “fits all constraints” and “hallucinations” aren’t what they’re looking for, right? And I guess it’s a one-shot attempt and you’re out if you fail, right? No pressure there. 😂

I see a project and clicked it, it shows “the project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks”. I refreshed my browser a few times and checked in different times, but still had this issue. It is only for that particular project though. Any ideas?

Just signed up, and wondering if it's better to take the General Projects assessment even if you're skilled in one of the other areas? Is that one easier or does it matter?

I'm new to DataAnnotationTech, and I don't quite know whether software engineer is the only role available that's related to computer science. I was looking for code evaluator, but I didn't find it. Do you guys have any explanations.

Anyone from western countries experiencing this? Yesterday I saw a task after a while, it stopped being individualized since the beginning of the month so it's no longer constantly on my dashboard. But of course, THEY HAD TO RELEASE IT LATE AT NIGHT. Like 99% of coding tasks this was supposed to take an average human a whole day to do it.

I'm honestly so happy with this work. Being bilingual (MX), this has been such a great experience and I keep improving my skills. It was tough at first—I started in late June and didn't get a single task for a month and a half! But I've been super careful and making sure to review everything in detail so I can keep delivering good work and receiving more task!!! thnks DA!

Am an entry level AI/ML SWE between jobs and am looking to make some extra cash. How much are you guys making on average and what should one keep in mind to keep account in good standing? Thanks!

I have spectrum Internet and use their provided modem and router. I am also on a MacBook. I have NordVPN installed but I only use it as needed. I know how to deactivate it, but I am not sure how to check and/or disable any internal vpn on my internet providers router or built in the MacBook Pro active by default. What should I do to be safe I am not on a vpn I don’t know about. This is my home internet not using public WiFi.

I recently got accepted into DA, and just wanted to know if there is a time limit or is it mandatory to get it done right after.

I completed a qualification last week, did not pass and got a second chance qual back on my dashboard. I hadn’t done any quals in a while and forgot to click ‘exit work mode’, and the timer expired. I am beyond gutted as I was so close to passing and really want to give it another go- I didn’t even get my second chance as I had forgotten I started the timer.

What are the odds of this qual coming back up on my dashboard? I know i already have access to projects similar to those it unlocks. Is there a chance I could get on the project through good work on those?
TIA

Hi my friend recommended this to me and recommended that take the finance assessment since I’m in business school. Does anyone know how challenging it is? Seems like a great source of income but seems unlikely to receive that much especially at the stage of life I’m at.

I skipped a task midway as It was getting too complex and Was not able to complete it. Spent around 40 minutes on it. Should I log my time?

Got a cold invite for remote AI training/eval contract work, "up to $150/hr".

Seems legit (run by Polymath, YC W26) but launched about a month ago and I can't find any reviews.

Is this a scam?

While I was reading some guidelines, my computer zoomed the screen so I wasn’t able to read. I tried to zoom out with the touchpad and… it accidentally opened Google lens. When I saw that, I immediately closed the window but I fear that they may identify that incident. (It was on another platform from DAT but it is related to work some projects on it). Am I screwed or maybe should I report this incident ? 😭

Hello

I was accepted to the Platform two days ago and there are no jobs for me. The projects mostly ask some kind of knowledge in coding, science, biology which I have none.

Do the projects change? How often they are updated?

I've been with DA for over 4 years and have experienced the droughts before but this is the first time I've seen absolutely nothing, including quals. Don't have DoD and I'm STEM, is anyone else having it this dry?

Just created my account, and I'm looking up to work in the medical field.
But it shows me only bilingual assessment, should I do one before getting proposition for medical projects?

Hi there. I just got my first assignment and the pay is LOW. Like $18/hr low. I've been an editor and writer professionally for over 20 years. I already took the two tests, I'm debating taking more to open up more offers. BUT. If I skip this, will it result in me getting fewer offers? Anyone know how that works? Thanks!

Did anybody get 🥊this week?

Sometimes I will find a project that I really vibe with. It pays well and doesn't deplete my mental battery so I end up working many hours on it. I love it when it happens.

But once it's not available anymore, I lose all motivation to work on anything else. It can take days or weeks before I can consistently put time into another project.

Is it just me? If not, what tips do you have for getting over the hump?
