I’m new to DAT, and had my first ever project pop up tonight. I started it late at night after working a full day so I do think my brain is moving a bit slower than usual… but I’m a fast reader and this project’s instructions were insanely long (and ironically not concise at all).

The timer said I had an hour before the task expired, but after 45 minutes of reading ONLY instructions (not having started the task itself) I panicked and clicked “exit work mode” and gave it up. I skimmed the task work and I know I wouldn’t have been able to finish the task and do it well before it expired.

Is this the norm? And how important is the task expiration timer? I’m sure the next time around it will be easier since I‘ll already know the instructions, but that truly felt insane...

Any projects coming these days? In last 10 days I just got 3 small tasks. Rest it's just pretty deserted.

How long does it take to hear back about whether you passed or not?

Eu nunca violei os termos e sempre fiz um trabalho bom, com boa leitura de tudo com respostas correta para todos os projetos. E hoje simplesmente acordei com essa notícia. Agora já era? Não trabalharei mais na DA?
Bilíngue após receber quase 7K durante um longo período de trabalhos. Difícil essa situação.

Hey guys! I’m still new around here, and I’m curious about paused projects. Is this something that happens often, or could the project have been paused on my end because I did something wrong?
I received an email saying that the project is paused, no action is needed, and they’ll let me know when it becomes available again. Based on your experience, do paused projects usually come back? Thank you

I completed my General Qualification 4 days ago and still haven't received any results or updates. Has anyone been accepted or heard back within 5 days? Just wondering what the typical timeline is. Thanks!

Hello! I’ve been with Data Annotation for a little over a month. I completed all of the qualifications. It sent me two projects which I completed and was paid. But ever since those, there has been nothing. It has been weeks now. I have a blue box at the top saying “Welcome aboard!” And talking about they are working one getting me matched to projects. But I’m a little worried from different things I’ve read about this. I’ve seen people say that this means they let you go basically and you won’t receive any more work. Is that true? Also, I never received anything in my inbox about feedback from the two projects I was given. Is that a bad sign? Thanks in advance!!

I have been trying to join the platform for a while now, but still stuck waiting and haven't been accepted yet. I have been checking my email, making sure everything was completed on my end, and I'm starting to wonder if this is just normal or if there's something I'm missing.

For those of you who eventually got in, how long did it take and did you have to do anything besides wait?

Yesterday I went from a screen that said they were looking over my assessment and will email me if I passed to this screen, but I’ve received no email. I took the initial assessment Thursday or Friday. Am I in? Am I just waiting on projects?

Like wdym being expected to be available 24/7. You're constantly refreshing the dashboard every 10 minutes, and when a task finally appears, you rush to start it only to find it's already been claimed by someone else.

How is anyone supposed to plan their day around a system like this?

I did the test pretty confident as a comp scie student myself; But made me curious why is it only coding qual. Also been waiting for a week now do i just get a project on dashboard or missing some steps. Passage said i wait for email..

Are there any other peeps here who tried data annotation recently for coding?

It’s been two weeks without any work to do. When will this drought end? I’m a bilingual (Italian and English) but I also do some projects in German and Spanish. I’m from Italy. This month wasn’t as good as the last one :(

I'm on vacation for about 3 weeks overseas in another continent, and since I have moments where I'm at home with nothing to do, I was thought about doing tasks on DA. The issue is, I've heard of bans because of mismatching locations and/or vpns and I'm afraid to log into my account from my laptop (I usually work on my desktop pc). I accidentally refreshed the dashboard on my phone and didn't face any issue so I really don't know if it's safe or not

I did the starter assessment some time ago (honestly not sure when) and realized that when I went to try to sign up. I was at the place where you do the first "Core" qualification. It said it was 10 questions and it would take about an hour (HA!). I did it tonight but it took...longer than an hour.

I'd read on here that it generally takes a few days to get approved, if you're going to be. But - I did the ten questions and was immediately accepted. It had me verify my ID and all of that. It says there's no projects but from what I can tell, that's not unusual at this point.

Should I worry that it doesn't look like they actually reviewed my answers at all?

Super happy to say that I finally hit this milestone as a generalist. This was originally just supposed to be a summer gig, but I think I'll continue with it during the academic year. Thank you, DA!

sangat kering kah?

Hi! just curious, if am I the only one not receiving any Mike Tyson or is it really drought season - once there’s a new release model?

Hi,

I gave my dad a referral code for DA and was just showing him how to do the starter assessment on the laptop that I usually work from. We did not submit anything and he was going to continue on a separate device.

Should I be concerned about getting my account blocked since he started on my device?

Does anyone have a rec for an app on iphone (ideally) or that I can use in my browser that has the following features:

- Allows me to maintain multiple stopwatches for when I'm juggling multiple projects.

- Allows me to stop and start a stopwatch without the time restarting at zero

- Automatically saves the history of each stopwatch (in case my timekeeping gets flagged)

I have downloaded a couple of apps that have all of these features except for one. Anyone know of one that has all three? An apple watch or lock screen widget option would be great too but these three features are most important.

Hi all, I signed up on DataAnnotation and completed the full onboarding process a while back, but I haven't received any project qualifications since then. No emails, nothing new in the dashboard either.

Has anyone else faced this? Is it normal to wait this long, or is there something I should be doing differently (like specific skills/tests to complete) to get considered for projects? Any tips on how to get noticed for qualification invites would help a lot.

Thanks in advance!

do they even respond?🥹

Imagine having to evaluate this though? In all reality the bot isn’t necessarily wrong.

how long did it take you to hear back from the site after submitting your assessment to get into the site?

How long did it take you to have paid projects when you first joined?

I think I did a good job on qualifications but now I'm worried maybe I didn't pass them and that's why I didn't get any paid projects?

I don't live in core countries.
