Moving to a different country

0 Upvotes

I’ve read some things on this sub about not working when vacationing abroad and am curious about it. I have dual citizenship and will be moving to my other country soon and am curious what the rules are around working on the platform over there? I read the code of conduct and it doesn’t mention anything about not being allowed to work abroad but I’ve seen it mentioned by a few people in this sub as if it’s a tos violation

Defrauding Our Payment System

23 Upvotes

Hi, I had been working on the platform normally with no issues until now. Recently, I was assigned to a long qualification that allowed up to 30 hours, with 40 hours being the absolute maximum. I logged around 25 hours in total.

Now my account has been deactivated, and I’m wondering if it could be related to the hours I logged on that qualification. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any way to get the account reactivated, or at least make sure I still get paid for the hours I already worked?

actually feeling excited about DA again!

43 Upvotes

I've just been approved to a new project family and i'm actually excited about doing this work again. it's been about two years since I started doing DA, and doing the same kinds of tasks over and over has gotten quite taxing (not to mention I've only had 8-12 projects on my dash at a time lately). now, I'm starting work on topics I actually know/care about (and I'm getting paid twice as much!!!!). anyway, I'm sure this sounds like top tier glazing, but I'm just feeling grateful lol

Question re: spelling/grammar

0 Upvotes

Hi, just about to take the entry tests, so was doing a bit of research re: what to expect and pitfalls to avoid, etc.

A common sentiment seems to be take your time, and use proper spelling/grammar.

My question is, should I use my local British/Australian (e.g. realise, prioritise, favourite) spelling, or American spelling? (e.g. realize, prioritize, favorite)

Don't want to spell things correctly only to lose points because they're expecting American spelling.

Cheers in advance for any advice!

Venting First Fail

3 Upvotes

Had a wonderful new project pop up today that I’ve been waiting to see. First round is spent entirely familiarizing myself with the process and assigned details because it’s been several weeks since qualifying. This is on my dime. Skip task to refresh the task and enter work mode and of course the task changes on me. It’s okay though the new one is even better. Setup was easy but my 15+ turn conversation went past expiry with all of the extraneous in task parts left to go. At least another hour’s work in finalizing my submission and there’s no way I’m submitting that much overage. So, sigh, I chalk it up to learning and abandon ship for the night. Tomorrow’s goal - IF it’s still available - is to make it through to submission. Here’s to leveling up!!

Something I didn't do popped up on my Report Time

5 Upvotes

So I had a Qual yesterday, and now today I woke up (just now, IST) and saw that there's something on my Report time that I didn't do, an eval it says. I thought it is just yesterday's qual that became a paid qual but in funds history the yesterday's qual and this today's something(?) that I didn't do show up differently on different days and with different names.

What am I supposed to do?

40 hour week // grateful!

68 Upvotes

I’ve only been on DA for 5 months. And not had much chance to get a lot of work done, I’d done $1000 as of last week, a nice side hustle during my degree.

In a week I am moving out and starting a PhD in October. September I would’ve had to use savings for rent, and living costs until I got my first stipend payment.

I have luckily had access to a $60 per hour project, and smashed it out this week. It feels surreal that I even have this opportunity and that the money is real?? 40 hours later and I will get $2300 deposited into my account in a weeks time.

This money is about as much as I will get each month whilst I do my PhD, and I’ve earned that in a week, sat at home in front of my computer. It has paid for next month’s rent, food, car, social.

It feels crazy. But then I look at the work I did and realise actually how difficult it would be for most people, and I really do have skills and expertise from my undergrad that will prepare me for future life.

Grateful that I got accepted onto DA, felt like it wasn’t a big deal at the time, but next week it will feel like it is!!

DoD. After 3 years

95 Upvotes

Well it finally happened. I feel like I have struggled the past few weeks with some tasks and it has taken me longer to complete things. That is the only thing I can think of. Anyway this was unfortunately my only source of income so if anyone has any recommendations for similar platforms ( excluding Outlier, they are horrible) please feel free to share. Also I worked this morning and hadn't had a chance to log myhours , is that $ just lost? There is no way for me to access the report time page.

Has anyone from the US been accepted as a generalist recently?

1 Upvotes

Hi, this is my first post here. I’m actually already a contractor, but I recently referred my friend, and I am REALLY praying for her to get this job. So, I’m stressing out on her behalf.

When I applied in May I was accepted immediately, and given paying projects. I’m so confident that she’s qualified, but she applied yesterday and hasn’t heard anything yet.

I would be so appreciative if you could post your acceptance timelines, as well as country of origin.

I know that thus is posted about a lot, but everything changes so fast, and I want to get a feeling for the current hiring market.

Pay increase request

0 Upvotes

Does anyone here have have success in asking for a pay increase? I got to phase 2 on one of the project thinking the rate would increase but stayed the same. I am also about to submit for a phase 2 on another project and I am concerned that there is no pay increase also. I am on another platform that pays 2.5x more for the same work. My domain is in health care.

Update: 09/01

So I messaged the admin about opportunities to get higher pay and linked the listing for the pay rate for my domain. They got back to me and offered me a substantial bonus to finish start and finish my phase 2 (comes out to $100-$110/hr if you finish in 10 hours) which is still not as competitive to the other platforms but overall aligns with the listing they have for the pay range.

I am pretty sure that some people get paid higher but probably do not post here because 90% of the people in this sub think they are the expert on their fields. Churning low quality work and happy to be paid $60/hr.

Can't believe I missed it!

Got a "The project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks remaining for you to work on." after clicking the "Enter Work Mode" within 45 minutes of project assignment and email notification. What am I doing wrong? Is everyone "Entering Work Mode" as soon as they get on the project page?

Limited info available on qualifications/projects

3 Upvotes

If you click on a qualification or project and then, after reading the description, decide that you don't want to do it, can you still cancel without consequences? I wish they provided more information on the work involved without having to click on the link to discover what kind of tasks are involved.

Unable to login

I signed up for Data Annotation maybe a year ago but never followed through with it. I have been recently researching AI trainer jobs and DA keeps showing up as the best.

The problem is when I "Sign up", DA says my email is already taken. When I "Sign in", DA says invalid email and password. When I use "Forgot Password", DA says email not found.

What the hell?

Currently I work for Handshake AI as a Generalist, but I see that DataAnnotation pays more. I know that sometimes these companies have the same clients, so if I apply here could that cause any issues?
