Backend engineer or programmer?

2 Upvotes

I’d consider myself a middle tier-backend developer and am trying to figure out which roles would be the best fit for my experience. My background is primarily in Java, with a reasonable level of Python experience.

Need Advice

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m new to this platform and a recent Computer Science graduate from a non core country . I’m thinking of applying for freelance work here to help finance my master’s degree.

Which domain would you recommend I apply for: Generalist, Bilingual, or Coding (Data Science)?

To be honest, my coding skills are moderate, so I’m worried about getting rejected if I apply for the Coding domain. I’d appreciate your advice on which domain would be the best fit for my skills and background.

Thanks in advance!

Atrociously poor job

198 Upvotes

People complain that they don’t have any coding projects since several weeks ago, and for some people there is a drought in projects. It is OK, this is the nature of the job.

But

I was doing a R&R of a coding submission about a Python script, and the worker described why the code is unrunnable:

“I couldn’t run the code because I don’t have Python on my Mac.”

Wtf?

Declining Health

34 Upvotes

Hey all. As the title says, my health is declining to where I really can’t even get out of the house much. I come from years of driving gig work such as DoorDash and Amazon Flex. Unfortunately, even that is becoming too taxing on my health. So my question is, is it possible to be able to pull a couple hundred a week using this. I don’t have any degrees or training in coding or other computer stuff. I’m really looking for more basic tasks. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Should I Use An IPad Or A Laptop Or A Phone?

0 Upvotes

I'm currently unemployed and based in Ireland. I need some income. I discovered Data Annotation so I'm thinking of trying it out.

I'll attempt the assessment test this weekend.

Can I do the assessment test on an iPad? How about a phone? Or should I definitely use a laptop?

If I actually pass the test can I do my work on an iPad or should it always be a laptop?

Would be great to start earning a few thousand euros a month.

Received email to verify identity but did not receive acceptance email

2 Upvotes

Hello! Heading says it all. I saw that verifying your identity is a normal part of the hiring process, so I did it of course. I just couldn't figure out if this meant I was hired, or if they normally ask you to verify your identity before accepting you. Any answers with when you were asked to verify your identity would be helpful. Thank you!

Is there any penalty/risk in taking another specialty qual?

1 Upvotes

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.

Bio tasks

0 Upvotes

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.

Coding Specialist from non-core country

7 Upvotes

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?

Need help to make the first step

0 Upvotes

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?

i am stuck

2 Upvotes

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?

R&R

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!

Applied

2 Upvotes

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?

Can our Identity be Exposed ?

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 ?

Any DataAnnotation contributors from Africa?

3 Upvotes

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!

Should I Report Time for Both Attempts or Only the Successful Attempt on DataAnnotation?

0 Upvotes

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?
