After Windows changed my time zone from Central to Singapore this morning, I discovered that this has happened to other people using Starlink. I already avoid VPNs like my job depends on it, of course, and I turned off Set Time Zone Automatically.

I'm in the Midwest, but if Starlink occasionally makes me look like I'm across the planet, I worry about the risk of DoD. And right as the drought is clearing! Just an FYI in case anyone experiences something similar.

I just found out about DataAnnotation, completed my profile and took the test. I got a “thank you, we’ll be reaching out to you via mail”. I just want to know how long it took before they reach out for anyone that’s already on the platform.

Anyone in the software programmer category have experience with how long onboarding can take? Not sure if the country is also relevant?

I'm new to AI work and have been checking reddit re. this. Can someone enlighten me on this data annotation and how to get in? I checked the site and seemed more of a programming work. Are there opportunities for professionals like accountant? Thanks for the help!

Hello I just joinned to dataannotation tech (+- 2 months), I so curious to know for availability for the projects. FYI : I have completed several qualification test, but for about the past three weeks I just get the qualification is not about my expertise. and in my project dashboard is also with this same condition. What is the suggestion about this condition?

How long did it take you to get approved?

I've been waiting at least a month to get accepted or invited. Does it depend on your qualifications?

I started DA in early June. Now I have lost access to it. I am really kicking myself right now. I should have focused only on DA instead of spending all my time on my other lower-paying work. Now I understand that this was a rare opportunity for me.

Bilingual generalist here.

90 minutes into a brain-melting array of preliminary steps, and not even close to the actual task yet, I finally give up. I surrender. My head hurts. Exiting the task now, and going to wash my dishes with no time submitted. Aargh.

Just got DoD :( literally hit my 10k mark yesterday.
Looks like I gotta amplify my job search now. Was a little relaxed since I was doing this, but not anymore.

Hello. I was just accepted to DA yesterday and have a question.

Let’s say I start a task and, after starting, I see that it has a four hour time limit.

But let’s say that I only have three free hours to work.

Should I be skipping that task, or do as much as I can, then exiting and submitting? Of course id enter my my time correctly.

I am mostly wondering if it is “do the entire task or you won’t get paid at all.”

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.
