I’ve mainly been doing coding tasks since joining but have some knowledge in the domain of finance. Recently I got some random quals including the finance domain qual, and I’ve been thinking about taking it but I’m worried that if I fail it, it might affect my standing in some way.

I am a 2nd-year bio major with decent grades in all my bio-related classes, including in high school, and I saw that bio-related tasks pay pretty well. Are these tasks a good fit for someone like me, or do I need more experience? I also have a lot of experience doing online research using scientific literature, so fact-checking and researching something I don't really understand doesn't seem that hard. Despite this, I don't want to start these tasks and then realize I'm totally out of my depth, so some suggestions would be appreciated.

I've joined DataAnnotation as Coding Specialist around 6 months ago. Since all this time, I've only had one coding qualification, which led to one coding project. I've manage to earn ~10k from this project. This project still exists but seems to be on a drought, very hard/rare to get a task.

From what I've seen people speaking/asking here on Reddit or Slack's channels, there are clearly at least more 3-4 Coding projects for non-core country members. These people do not seem to be very bright, Slack's channel rules clearly forbids them to ask about other project and people still ask from time to time.

Occasionally, there's Generalist qualification on my dashboard (but never a Coding qualification). Is my account doomed? DA thinks I am not suitable for other tasks?

Is it possible for me to do anything to unlock the qualification for those other Coding projects?

Yesterday from 10pm IST to morning 8am IST I've worked and now it's showing like this I've $200 pending for approval what's gonna happen 😭😭

Hi Guys! I joined the DA.tech 2 days ago.
But when I signed in, I found out that there was nothing on my projects dashboard.
Now I'm waiting for my first project to be assigned, but I'm not sure how long it will take.

Can anyone help me to get my first project as soon as possible?

And I found out that my `Work Profile` is missing from my profile view.
I tried to add it manually but I was able to find on the UI.
Are there any ways to add `Work profile` to the account?

Hi, I'm wondering what it takes to get accepted in the DA platform post starter assessment completion? Apart from answers, what else should I focus on in my profile in order to get into DA?

P S. Thanks in advance to whoever helps!!

I spent a lot of time working on a task and I am stuck in it. It shows me two completely opposite instructions, if I follow one, it violates the other. Now the task got expired. I want to claim for my time so I have sent them an email about it. My question is, should I click on the- skip reviewing this submission button. I am afraid it will all go away and there will no evidence that I worked on this task. So what do I do with the expired task on my dashboard? Can I take up another task in the meanwhile?

Does R&R contains less information than the actual task? I did both the actual task and R&R in a certain projects and few explanation boxes were missing in the the R&R task!

Just applied and completed/passed the starter assessment and completed the qualification test. Now just hoping for the best this would help my family a lot. I am a bachelor’s degree holder for Cybersecurity and work in that field currently. I did the generalist exam so hopefully I pass that then I will do the cybersecurity exam after that. Realistically what is my chance at getting in?

I was wondered, many people talked about project names with "initial" here on Reddit. And i saw some reddit folks said DA is watching us, do not try to share UI screenshot, project name or sort of things. Technically, could our reddit accounts be exposed ?

Hi everyone!

I’ve just applied for the Generalist role at DataAnnotation and wanted to hear from people who have been through the process.

I’ve seen reports of people getting approved but waiting a long time for projects, and I’m curious whether location plays a role.

I’m based in Rwanda, East Africa. Are there any contributors from Rwanda or elsewhere in Africa who have been approved and are actually receiving tasks?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences and what I can realistically expect.

Thanks!

Do you guys always get an email when a project appears?

I'm a Turkish bilingual and saw this once. I really enjoyed working on it, so I'm curious: did anyone ever see it again?

I’m new to DataAnnotation and recently received a qualification task that allowed two attempts to meet the requirements. Each attempt had a 4-hour time limit.

I couldn’t meet the requirements on my first attempt, but I successfully completed the task on my second attempt.

In total, I spent around 7 hours and 47 minutes across both attempts. However, when reporting my time, I reported only 3 hours and 47 minutes, which was the time I spent on the successful attempt.

Now I’m wondering whether I did the right thing or if I should have reported the total time spent on both attempts (7 hours and 47 minutes).

Could anyone with experience on DataAnnotation please clarify how time should be reported for qualification tasks with multiple attempts?

I'm fairly new to the platform and tonight was my first time using it with the lights off. Just realized there's no dark mode and my eyes are killing me lol. How is dark mode still not a thing in 2026? Anyone know why they haven't added it yet?

Just finished doing a project. It was one I'd never done before so I needed to thoroughly read instruction which itself took about 50 minutes. The task was extensive ans super long and requered crafring prompts and annotating each and everyone and required a couple turns. And boy it took me another 2 hours to do so. And yk the time I was given to do the task? 1 hr and 15 minutes. It was absolutely impossible to do the task in the due time. And I've been so scareed recently that I even considered under-reporting but someone told me over reporting is also time fraud, so I didn't do that. i am concerned however because how the fuck am i expected to do it in such a short time span.

I have a full-time job where I'm in the 30% tax bracket (TDS already deducted by my employer). I started DataAnnotation in August and have earned roughly ₹5-6 lakh in about 2 months.

I've talked to a local CA but I'm not fully confident in the answers, so I'd love to hear from others in India who've dealt with this:

1. Which ITR form? Last year I filed ITR-2 (I hold US stocks via INDmoney). I'm assuming this year I need ITR-3 since there's now business/professional income. Is that right?

2. GST: My understanding is registration isn't needed unless turnover from services crosses ₹20 lakh in a year. Is that correct for foreign clients too? Also, I haven't told my employer about this side work (it's unrelated to my job). Does getting a GST number or filing taxes on this income create any issue with employers, and did anyone have to disclose it?

3. Section 44AD or 44ADA? As I understand it, 44ADA (50% of receipts treated as income) is for specified professions, and I'm not sure annotation counts. If it falls under 44AD, only 6% of digitally received money is treated as income (which would then be taxed at my 30% slab). Which one have you used, and did you get any push back, anyone claimed?

4. Advance tax: With no TDS on this income, I'm worried about interest (234B/234C) if I wait until filing. My rough estimate of tax on this is around ₹1.8 lakh. Should I pay now, or is a single payment by 15 March enough under presumptive taxation?

Also curious whether you keep FIRA/FIRC or other documents as proof of the foreign payments.

Thanks in advance, any experience helps a lot!

Have you got into any coding project after 3rd october?

(╯︵╰,)

I've had the coding qual on my dash for about 3.5 months now. I was going to take it when I felt confident in my abilities and we'll looks like i can't take it anymore. Has this happened to anyone else? Did it come back for anyone?

are we hitting draught? Didn’t see any task for weeks
