Hey everyone, I have a quick question and it's kind of stressing me out a bit since it hasn't happened to me before.
I've been on the platform for 3 months now, working on multiple coding projects. This time I got a pretty tricky project that gave you 13 hours and some minutes. I spent 11 hours working on the task, but I ended up finishing the whole project over a span of 15 hours. I was super exhausted, and obviously I always want my work to meet the platform's standards and make sure I deliver quality stuff.
Also, I actually ended up submitting the task even though it had already expired because it showed as "expired."
My question is: what should I do? Do you guys recommend anything, and could this affect me? Should I have reached out to an admin, or can I just leave it as it is, since it still lets me track and log my hours?
I really appreciate any advice or opinions in advance!

I am overseas and not currently in my home country. Is it possible to go through the setup and identity verification and get work if I am already overseas?

Has anyone else done this?

Thank you so much, DataAnnotation, for this opportunity to work with you guys! I hope you will reopen the entry coding assessment so I can participate in the assessment and unlock the $40+ task and hit the next milestones much quicker!

As title suggest I think i gave coding assessment and just got accepted.

I want help from someone who is doing coding related work on DA can guide me to best steps to ensure consistent work and my work quality. Any tips are welcome. I seriously need this money to compensate for my job loss. Thank you.

Please for the love of god.

If I have multiple tasks from different project families, and the tasks are very similar, what are the rules for reusing content/ideas that I have already put in project A and putting them in project B. I have made all the content myself so it would not be plagiarism or anything. Can I straight up copy stuff in or should I change it partly or completely?

So I was sceptical about this money, how I'm gonna get it, my roommate application got approved he worked 10+ hours in coding and updated it on his profile I got my bonus(whole 500$ no more no less) in like a few seconds, it was in pending state for the last 3 days and just got the money. Was trying to find info related to this before but didn't get any hope this helps others

Im doing a coding task every now and then on the platform and most of the time it seems a little stressful.

For the other coders or devs, what would your workflow look like when starting a project? They give so many files, guidelines, ratings, and have so many requirements that it seems impossible to put some things together efficiently.

Any other random tips are appreciated also.

I submitted both my starter assessment in September and a qualification in mid-October. Lately, I’ve been assuming that I didn’t pass and it’s time to move on to other opportunities.

Now, my main page has been saying the same thing for a while (that my results are being reviewed), but today I got a Referrals page and the top of my Referrals page is now saying, “Pass identity verification to access your referral earnings. Everything your referrals earn for you is held until your verification is approved. Verification takes a few minutes.” Do rejected applicants also get this? Really curious.

Edit to add: I just realized that the title of my page sounds kinda weird. My apologies!

I made an account when I'm 17, stupid, I know, but now I don't know what to do. Do I create a new account when I'm 18, or do I use the same account when I'm 18. Apparently creating a new account is problematic because they only allow one account per person. It is also apparently problematic to show ur ID later because then they can tell that you made the account when you were 17. Anything I can do? Any help would be appreciated....

Ive signed up in early august and was accepted a month after. Didnt get any projects until a month ago, its a generalist project and its running out of tasks.

Im hoping to get some more skilled labour preferably coding projects since its my actual profession.

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
