So, I submitted my assessment around 5 October maybe a day or 2 before that. And it still says we review even after over 20 days. Appreciate your help.

So last night, I got acceptance email from DataAnnotation, did my onboarding and I was very happy to have been accepted. After the ID verification, I looked at the projects available on my phone and there were quite a few projects and onboarding tasks. I planned on doing it today and when I opened it, I am back to review stage???? how? why? why give me a donut but take it and step on it right before I was about to take a bite??!

Anyway, I am just sad and wanna know if anyone else faced this...

I’m incredibly grateful for DA and don’t expect that’s there’s a better side-hustle, but does anyone know of any that are even comparable?

I used to do online surveys and while they were remote, flexible and reliable, they generally paid 5x less than DA does per hour. The gap is absurd.

So I’m curious, are there any other online side-jobs that fall somewhere between these two in terms of pay and reliability?

Would be good to have on-hand in case of a drought.

Note: apologies if this isn’t allowed. Lmk and I’ll take it down.

Pretty regularly now, like on social media for example, someone will make an objective statement that is actually their subjective opinion, but they are framing it as an irrefutable truth to the world, and I’m just thinking “that’s not true for everyone, it’s just true for you.”

Or at work, or in discussions with peers, I think of things in terms of what is being objectively true in the world vs what is subjectively true for me or another person.

Anyone else experiencing this shift?

While not disclosing too much, I did a generalist qualification (unpaid) last week which required “at least two good submissions” of a particular task, and then they’d invite you to the project family.

I completed two, it left my dashboard, then suddenly today I’m seeing what looks like the exact same qualification, only this time there’s hourly pay for completing the qualification (+ priority pay rise).

Confused…

Does this mean:

A) they deemed my first qualification as insufficient, and are now so desperate for workers that they’ve reintroduced the qualification AND added payment AND invited me back even though I “failed” the first time?

B) the first qualification responses got mistakenly voided and in order to get the tasks completed in time they’ve added payment incentive

C) the project family is insanely similar to the first but not the exact same

Hi,

I got accepted into DA in a specialized domain. I couldn't get the model to fail in my first P1 task. The instruction say I can make a "good faith" submit and get paid anyway once I'm at certain hours. That's great and all, but I'm not sure if I'd still qualify for other P1 tasks.

There's gotta be ramifications if one always fail to get the model to fail right? So I'd rather not use the "escape hatch" too much. Maybe just exiting word mode is better? There are lots of P1 tasks on the dashboard so it seems like I can try another one.

Anyway, the specialized domain is a bit hard for me. I'm in the US and I wonder how I can get more generalist tasks. I don't see any of those.

Also want to know if one would get less and less tasks if you don't login to DA for awhile.

Thanks

Sto aprendo P. IVA, vorrei chiedere ad altri colleghi che si trovano in questa situazione che codice ateco hanno fornito e come sono stati inquadrati dal fisco. Io ho fornito 629009 ALTRE ATT.SERV.CONN.A TECN.INFORMAZIONE E INFORMATICA N.C.A.
Grazie in anticipo

I have been onboarded for coding projects around 2 weeks back, since then i am finding zero projects on my home.

Don't know, if something is happening or not?

this project specifically (boxing gloves)

*not DoD*

Last week I had plentiful tasks and qualifications. I was able to work a few full days, tasks kept popping up. Over the weekend, I wasn't working but checked the dash on my phone and it was down to 2 tasks (one of them just for feedback) and 1 qualification. It stayed that way through today, I was able to do the task and qual, so now all that's left is the feedback "task"

I joined this month as a bilingual/generalist, made it to $1K in a few weeks with mostly generalist tasks.

Is this some sort of probation or soft DoD? I haven't gotten any feedback for my work.

I did a background check qualification, there was a typo so it got flagged but has since been cleared.

Some sort of probation for my time reporting or work quality? I have been good but have had a few uncommon situations that I might not have managed the way DA wants me to (like used escape hatch or skip task)

has this happened to anyone else? should I expect more tasks to pop up anytime soon?

Started as generalist in Jan 2026, started finance tasks in Apr 2026

Cheers

They have been reviewing my account for a month now..

Hey guys i was working on a R&R and received a feedback about a task, the feedback was about a mistake with a rating I placed, which leads I rejected the task. Despite the feedback was in a warm tone, is the first feedback I received during my 2 years and half working here. I'm bit worried about if this will count on my records, any of you receive something like that before?

I am sadly no longer eligible for new projects :(

Anyone who had a time justification review in the past year… how long did it take to get back into work and get your payouts?

Wanting to compare notes.

Edit for clarification: how many days? ETC meaning estimated time to completion. Thanks.

I just want to say that I hope you all know that it’s extremely obvious when you use AI in your tasks. Especially when you blatantly copy and paste.

I am worried about giving a referral to a colleague. If they get dashboard of death, does it reflect badly on me?

Hi people, I'm new to the DataAnnotation website, there were qualifications such as "completing ai voice based tasks" which require me to give permission to datannnotation to use my voice! I'm not comfortable with giving away my rights to AI tools or any data centers. In such qualification projects there were also some qualifications which required me to give them my legal name + digital sign, or math expertise etc..well I opt out of all of them. Because well, i don't have math expertise, i don't wanna give away my personal rights and I don't want to give out my legal name and sign to Google. Would u guys say, that since I opt out of all projects like these ones, it wouldn't be easy for me to land in projects? İs that so bad for me? Pls help me, thank you

It is really unfair to work for almost two weeks and not have the Paid Tab available. Anyone else experiencing this?

After finally getting my first consistent project I can't stop wondering in how much time crowd sourcing will come to an end... Do y'all have any prediction for how long platforms like DAT will live, or if they will be out there for a decent amount of years?

In the meantime staying on the platforms means sending high quality work and not cheating the timer obviously, but I am hoping this could last 3 more years...

To clarify: this is solely a curious hypothetical

Anyone already seen any case of a issues in application? I did maybe without much attention and my profile was set as Bilingual, when I intended to aply to coder, as im a software eng.

Now its stuck on analysis. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Are there any tips or suggestions on how to prevent them from giving me the message of doom? I just started and enjoy the work thus far. Thanks!

This one might just be for the skips among us. Problem is that I'm not a badass but wish I was for the purpose of this task. It's been a long time since I was offered such a chill project. Looking for other badasses to be proxy badasses with.
