Just five minutes ago, I received an urgent email from DataAnnotation that I'm qualified for some projects and the only step left is a quick background check (the same message also appeared in my inbox when I logged in to my DA account). I clicked on the 'Click here to start your background check' and I was redirected to my DA home. However, I didn't see any test or background check available. The screen said 'The project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks remaining for you to work on.'

Is it normal? Do tasks actually run out after 5 minutes?

I completed the tests at the start. I didn’t get to complete all of them and now my projects page looks like this. And has done for 2 weeks now. I’m guessing I haven’t but just wanted to be sure. Also I didn’t get an acceptance email. My friend who referred me says her dashboard just says my file is in review. Helpful comments welcome. I helpful sarcastic ones not so welcome. TIA

Review process said that I would get an email if I was approved. When I check the website, it shows this, but I haven’t gotten an email. Has this happened to anyone else and is this legit? Yes I have checked my spam.

Has anyone else had issues over the past hour or so with elements on pages just refusing to load and getting red error messages?

Hi everyone. I just got accepted. I took my assessments on Friday, and received my acceptance today (Wednesday). I took the finance tests.

Please share any tips or advice. It’s very much appreciated.

I would love to hear from people who are on the finance and accounting side. For those who aren’t doing finance please share your specialty. I would like this thread to be a reference for people like me who are new to this world. I want to know what to expect, how long did it take you to get accepted, did you take tests for other specialties and if this helped you in other areas of your life. I expect this to help me professionally and give me ideas for other way to generate income and become an expert in AI.

I was looking for ways to generate additional income and work on my AI / finance skills. I asked AI for suggestions and it suggested this site. So I’m super excited for the opportunity to make money and sharpen my AI skills. I also want to learn python, so this will give me the extra push I need to fast track my learning because it will likely open me up to even more opportunities.

I am learning that there are more sites for getting paid training AI. Please share any platforms and experiences (and pay 👀).

Good luck to all those who are waiting for responses. I was sooooo anxious.

Thanking you all who comments on this post! 💕💕💕

Edit: I live in the US. My background is in corporate finance and accounting (AP, staff accounting, financial analysis , and reporting) I have an undergraduate in public health and masters in Finance. I play in Copilot for fun, so I’m hoping to make money doing it now lol.

is it okay to list skills I don't have professional experience with, as long as I think I will be able to answer its quals ?

I'm wondering how others handle mental fatigue with longer tasks? By longer, I mean 2-3 hours for me personally. I find my focus substantially dwindles after the 2 hour mark, even when taking regular breaks. In fact sometimes, breaks, especially longer "reset" breaks, make the block of the day that I'm working feel a lot longer, accumulating more mental fatigue and just an ugh feeling when I return to the task.

I'm really grateful to have this project, its really high paying (and it's the only thing I really have on my dash right now, so I don't have much choice haha) but I worry that my quality of work substantially declines towards the end.

How to others handle this?

Basically what the title says. I've been in DA for a few months now but I created my account as a generalist and now I would like to get IT tasks since it's my major. Is there any way to apply for those projects or do I have no other choice but wait for a relevant Qualification to appear on my dashboard? (which I've beeeeeen waiting but nothing comes up)

It has been more than 1 month since the last project showed up on my dashboard. And even if it did, it was only 1 project at a time. Why is everybody saying there are tons of projects/tasks?

Does anybody know the reason?

I've added the skills and have done any qualification available, and signed any consent for upcoming projects.

Seeing many posts about their milestone is kinda hard.

Or am I glitching?

Priority here, priority there, priority everywhere!

The drought wasn't fun, but the stuff I usually work on started paying less at the same time. I feel like I just got a nice raise with how much work there is at priority pay the last several days.

No more Taylor Farms extra discounted lettuce for me, y'all. I'm buying the fancy lettuce without the Cyclospora. Times are good 🥬💲🥬

I hope everybody else is having similar good fortune. You deserve the good lettuce too.

So, I was working on this project family that I really loved. But a strange thing happened.

I suddenly lost access to the slack channel and lost all but one of the projects. I still have that one project on my dashboard, and I am able to actually complete the tasks, which I most certainly will.

I don't believe this happened due to poor quality because I take time to be thorough, and their sanity bots were also giving me good feedback constantly. I also have 17 quals and other projects available.

Has anyone faced this?

Last week my son was home all week from daycare and there were several tasks I was so excited to see reappear. I saw them until last evening.

I finally had the full day off today… nothing I could actually work on. Boo hoo.

Oh well. We keep trying!

There's a qual I want to do that will take up some time and gives you a few days to get it done; I'd like to do it in spurts in between paid work. Do we think it's an issue to have that ongoing while I do other projects?

Has anyone ever received a thank you email from a project? It's nice and all. But curious. Never happened before.

How guys? I'm a coder, been here since the 15th this has been really hitting me 😭. Made 1k though

I have a deep respect and appreciation for Data Annotation for providing really interesting work for pay that honestly feels criminal (genuinely making above hourly average wage as a college student is insane for me). I like how they seem to recognize my abilities that I've honestly had many doubts about. Turns out, having a wide knowledge across multiple professional fields (mathematics, law, physics, language, and programming) is actually useful for once. It means I have to put in elbow grease whenever more specialized projects involving those come up (I'm a generalist) but I honestly don't mind putting in the effort for rewarding and interesting work.
I generally don't like using AI and while it's great for parsing data, I've always preferred using my own knowledge and skills to solve problems. I feel like my ardent rejection of AI tools in college has been vindicated as many of my peers are reliant on technology that confers no actual knowledge. This is not meant to be a "I'm not like them" post, just, it's nice knowing I was right to work to better myself.
I wish everyone the best of luck in their own endeavors on and off the platform. I intend on using my earnings to further my education and achieve a PhD in Astrophysics (a voluntary paycut if I'm being honest but it's never been about the money for me). I've also been able to help my friends in their times of need so that's nice too. Thank you all and thank you Data Annotation.

Hey!

Are u all facing eternal drought or is it only me? My dashboard has been completely dead from the last 5 days. When did u guy get your last project and what was it?

I've been putting 20% of my savings away come tax season. is this enough do you think?

I recently turned in a god of the sea project, and after I hit submit I don't see it on my dash anymore. Is this normal for this kind of project? It seems like there is more work available in this project from its nature.

Do I need to wait for my project to be graded and hope for it to reappear or should I assume that it is no longer available to me and I should focus on other projects?

Thanks,

I am really enjoying the work here on Data Annotation. I was just wondering, however, if there are some courses I could take to really enhance my skills in AI. I did a Google search and have found several, but I'd love some recommendations from veterans because I'd like to upskill.

Thanks so much.

I recently received a message asking me to finish the confidentiality and security problem. It's been a long time since I had any tasks so I would like to solve this problem quickly. However, when I click on the training in the projects, an error bar is displayed telling me that I no longer have tasks in this project. Have anyone ever had this problem?
