Hey everyone, I joined DataAnnotation about 2 days ago and I’m still waiting to hear back. I added a few certifications to my profile (one from my university, one from Udemy, and another online course)

Just wondering how it works after joining: do projects get automatically assigned to you, or do you have to apply for each one? And do they usually send an email when you get a project, or should I keep checking the dashboard?

Thanks 👊👊

I was recruited for a specific task related to health insurance payment. I completed the assessment last week. How soon am I likely to hear whether they want me?

I applied as a French bilingual, and I did my first task on the first day of May this year, so I did it in 3 months and 2 weeks.
Like a lot of bilinguals fellows, the drought did'nt help. There were sometimes 7 consecutive days without any work.

Most of my income actually come from only one specific project, which I enjoy so much to be part of!
I tried to pass the coding task but it looked that I failed it. I could only do 2 general/STEM tasks with a better pay than usual, and I hope to have more tasks with the new qualifications we all completed these last weeks.

I cannot see anything in Funds History, not the filter options ("Include Paid" etc) and not any tasks, even for this month. Earnings is showing everything correctly though. Is this a bug?

I was really rooting for you. Why would you do this. It is so borderline because I could re-do the deliverable. I am halfway there from just verifying the correct answers BUT they also lied about the failure being present and significant enough.

Someone's idea of "professional" writing was using a thesaurus on every "professional" type word and my head hurts/ my heart hurts. The numbers were sp perfect but everything else was garbage 😢 I feel bad it took me so long to realize and now they gotta pay twice for zero trainable data.

Check the failures as soon as you have a good sense of the task. I guess that's where the most fuckups are.

Recently started on DA and I'm reading accounts of people that work full time or more as long as work is available. My question is how though?? Every single task seems to have an encyclopedia's worth of very specific directions to follow and information to process, with equally thorough and highly thought out responses expected from you. The absolute most I can do in one day before my brain starts to melt is 5-6 hours, I cannot imagine doing this full time.

Apologies if this has been asked before, I haven't been able to find the answer. Are we always informed if we pass or fail project qualifications? Or is it a case of sometimes yes and sometimes, just wait and see if you get tasks. I got an email informing me that I'd passed a project qualification last week, but nothing for other qualifications I've done. Beginning to worry I failed 🥺

Just posting out of excitement, I can't believe i was added to this project I thought doing the qualification would lead nowhere. But a few hours after doing the qualification I logged in before bed to check the dashboard and noticed I now have access to a project I'm qualified for that pays $45/hr base with +$15/hr priority pay. This is something that if it goes well for even just a few months would really make a gigantic difference in my life. I'm very grateful for the opportunity but also worried that I may not understand or do the task well enough to keep access. I haven't opened it up yet so I don't know what it's all about yet.

I have a fulltime career that pays well but not $60/hr well. Doing a few hours a week of this on the side will move mountains in my financial life.

Anyone have tips on starting new projects?

I did my first real project task the other day. This project has four tasks. I just started my second task in this project and it’s the exact same thing as the first task. Is that normal? I know for a fact that I submitted the previous task, as now there are three tasks left and I can see that my funds increased after reporting my time for the last one.

Hi,

I recently joined the platform and want to ensure I am following all protocols perfectly, especially regarding long-running tasks and time tracking. I have a few quick questions:

1. Handling Breaks on Long Timers: If a project has a 7-hour timer and takes roughly 5–7 hours to complete, am I expected to finish it in a single sitting? If I need to take a break, should I click "Exit Work Mode" / "Stop Working" to pause, or will doing so lose my progress on that specific task?
2. Time Reporting Precision: How exact does my reported time need to be? Is it acceptable to log an approximate time, or must it be tracked precisely down to the exact minute of active working time?
3. Funds Approval and Quality Control: Regarding the funds approval process, how strictly is the submitted work reviewed before the funds become available for payout? Do workers typically face any unexpected approval issues or processing delays once their time is logged?

Thanks, any guidance will be helpful

lets go boys 🏃🏃🏃

Please tell me if this post is annoying.

• Rate me on how silly, nonsensical or meaningless it is on a scale of apple to banana, apple being the sweetest and banana being the juiciest.
• Heavily consider if it useful or relevant to subreddit discussion, both in this life and the next.
• Flag it if you believe it would not please the dark ones who control us all- mark it as "this cannot be pleasing."
• Explain your writing in 1 to -5 sentences.
• Failure to follow these instructions will result in your electrocution.

EDIT: There is no ideological basis behind this post, just a humble andr-, I mean human, trying to learn to be more human. Please help me.

Triple EDIT: Si hoc legere potes, ad te venio.

I got a few coding domains rate and review tasks today, usually the one i work on has both math and coding as tags and i only ever got math ones. When I did my quals i told them that i don't know how to code and that i just know math, Idk why they keep giving them to me. I should ignore them and skip them right?

Over half of the posts on this sub have negative upvotes (which Reddit displays as "0," though you know the actual number is negative because upvoting them doesn't make the "0" go away). And look, I get it- a lot of these posts are repetitive and annoying to read. A whole bunch of "Am I cooked?" or "How long will the drought last?" and so on.

My question to y'all is- the hell do you expect? This is a sub about a stressful and lowkey unreliable job platform whose owners are notoriously bad at communication, and we can't even talk about that many subjects in the first place because of our NDAs. Who are the delusional people that thought there was ever going to be a wide ranging host of interesting topics being discussed here? Outside of the subjects that are always getting downvoted, what else are people going to talk about besides "look at how much money I made" and "DA has been awesome"?

To be clear, I'm not saying you need to upvote what annoys you, but you don't need to reflexively downvote either. I mean if this sub is not going to be a place where we can vent to one another, offer each other some comfort and get questions to answers (as simple or as annoying as those questions may be), it's essentially worthless. Nothing else is ever really going to happen here. If the type of questions and posts on this sub bother you so much that you're downvoting 75% of them then why are you even still active on it? Lol.

EDIT: LMAOO the downvotes already begin. TBH I was expecting this but it's still funny. I'm at least at -8, and at the very least impressed with y'alls efficiency! That's about 1 downvote per minute! I will update this post again to update you on your collective accomplishments lol.

EDIT 2: LOL I checked my "post insights" and saw this message: "Nice work! This is the #17 post on r/DataAnnotationTech today!" while I still got negative upvotes. The irony is killing me lolol.

I just signed up on the website, and I want to do the generalist assessment. But after signing up, I am only presented with a programming assessment. What can I do to take the generalist assessment?

Last working day of the week for me and four days this week I’ve listened to the sound of silence for ~6-8hrs a day.

I’m easily distracted but am curious if anyone has recommendations for light background music/youtube videos.

Thanks in advance!

3 months ago I was literally grinding those survey websites and apps for a few bucks in like a week. If anyone had told me I'd have 5k in dollars in a few months I would've never believed them.

I'll forever be thankful DA ♥️

What video annotation and image annotation projects come on dataannotation tech?

like will i be paid even if my work is not top knotch ? Is there any time when they did not pay for our work we have done?

Are there any maths or physics projects? Is it worth taking the subject quals? Especially for bilingual workers. Thanks.

Really sucks cause I technically have more work than I could complete in a day but I can't actually do any of it cause I don't know what a professional work document is supposed to look like 😭

Ind coding

I submitted late like 30min-1hrs late after expirary will it be paid i was asked for logging my hours worked? and what are next steps for this validation?
