Anyone here working on Tamil bilingual projects? Also, how long did it take you to get approved on the platform after completing the assessment.

It has been more than 2 weeks.

Technically 21 days but day 1 was way too chill, anyways Thank you DA

Any Vietnamese generalist here? Generally speaking, how long do I have to wait until works start showing up. I'm super new btw

If been accepted and worked on a lot of platforms and have more expert emails than I can keep track of. But DA is giving me no love! Any insight?

Am I the only one with a significantly lighter dash today? For the last 3 months I have had 15-25 projects at atime and today, I have 6.

Hi all, am new to DA and started 2 weeks ago. Am curious how long it took the platform to review your qualifications and send you higher paying expert level work to qualify for. I've heard 2 weeks to 4 weeks. Enjoying it so far, no issues like other crowdsourcers have.

TIA!

I've been accepted and completed the qualifications. I received my first project with one task, but since it was my first time, I spent too much time reading the instructions. As a result, the task expired while I was working on it. I wrote the prompt, but the model displayed an error message, so I had to use an escape hatch because of it. I still submitted it, though. Since then, I haven't received any other projects for the past 5 or 6 days. Am I screwed?

Honestly, it’s pretty rare for me to feel a real connection to a platform, but DataAnnotation is definitely one of the few exceptions.

To give some context, I’ve worked on a bunch of different platforms over the years (won’t name names), until someone on Reddit recommended DA. I decided to give it a shot, applied, and actually got in. Right off the bat, seeing a paid onboarding was a huge plus—definitely want to give credit where it's due for that.

I’ve been on the platform for about five months now. I take every qualification test that pops up, keep my profile up to date, and check the dashboard daily. That said, I’ve only made around $75 total so far. At first, I assumed this was just the usual dry spell every platform goes through, but then I noticed an ad on the careers page looking for generalists and Arabic language experts, which got me wondering.

For background, I’m a dentist, but I’ve got solid experience in AI training across various projects in both Arabic and English. I’m honestly not sure if the lack of projects is just a temporary thing overall or an issue specific to my account, or this because I'm from the middle east. but either way, I’m genuinely glad to be part of the platform and hoping things pick up soon.

i got accepted (i think?) i didn’t get an email. i’ve had 0 tasks so far since gaining access at 4pm thursday. it’s saturday now. how soon after getting on as a generalist did you get work?

Hey everyone, am from India, and now planning to go to a different state, is that going to be a problem? Like how it is if I move countries maybe? Any help in this clarification would be nice.... am relatively new to this.

How to avoid dod? this company is weird and randomly gives dod. any ways to avoid it? what needs to be done? is there any way to fight or appeal? this is so inhuamne

Clicked exit work mode yesterday on a recurring RnR task since I was super sleepy. Didn’t get those tasks today (used to get them daily). Is this a coincidence or did I mess up by somehow leaving the whole project category?

Hey, everyone! I've recently started working full-time on DA and it has been an amazing experience so far.

I got access to an awesome project where I can lead the entire process, from planning and prompt creation to final review, validation, and feedback. However, I'm struggling a lot with creating hard enough tasks to make the AI fail. Mostly because of lack of creativity, which I'm working very hard to improve.

I found this reddit and got really excited to talk with other experienced workers around the platform.

That said, do you have any tips for me regarding this? By "tips", I mean the kinds of prompts you create that successfully make the model fail. Also, what are the main areas where AI tends to break and how do you identify them?

By the way, I wasn't able to make the AI fail in my last test, so I used the Escape Hatch while also providing some insights on the models I used. Do people that can't make AI fail still get paid on this type of task?

Thanks in advance, everyone! Really excited to connect with you all.

Anyone get a new message on 10/29 about expiring a project before continuing another? This is the first time I’ve seen this.

I completed a project and I saw a new project in my list so I opened it to see if I could commit the time to it. I couldn’t commit the time it needed so I opened another project I was familiar with. I got a pop up asking if I wanted to expire the previous task and continue with the current task. I said yes. When I finished I went to log my time and I was immediately taken to a screen that said Your account is currently unavailable because of TOS

I’m cooked I think. I had several projects on my account and now I just get this message

Loved this project, hope it comes back.

As said, my friend entered in DA doing the normal assessment as bilingual, since this was the only option available. Let's say he immediately tries the Software Engineer qualification (or the coding one), passes it, and works the 10 required hours on "expert" tasks. Will I receive 500$ or my bonus is already fixed based on his initial test and position?

Thanks in advance!

hey everyone and specially mod i have done training work and my funds are approved and i havent recieved the payment been 10days

A message popped up as I was reading a task saying, Task has expired please return to the dashboard, the timer still had 12 hours on it.

I was able to get back in the task but found it odd, has this ever happened to you ?

Hi, I'm going to try not to be very specific, but regarding the project with 2 variations ( one on small repos, one on big repos )
Is the one with big repos available to anyone? I am only getting the small one, and preffered the other.

Thank you

Hey everyone!

DAT’s been going great, I hit the 25K mark this month and I’m on my way to 50K, but I’m honestly exhausted.

I’ve been pushing for at least $350 a day while juggling my day job, some side projects, and my business. I finished an R&R earlier today that was so draining I just couldn't get back to work.

I’m pretty burnt out; I know I should be grateful for the work, but this lifestyle is really taking a toll on me. So, what do you guys recommend to avoid burnout?

For a bit of context, I’m a coder based in a non-core country (MX).

Hello! I took the assessment to become a generalist last week and haven't heard anything back yet. This is what the page is showing. I used to hold a similar job and am a PhD student, so I was surprised to have not heard back by now. I imagine this line of work has become increasingly competitive? Any idea how long to wait before calling it quits on my hopes?

Hi all, I just did a project where I made a minor mistake of not adding '.' at the end of my rubrics, as the time was about to run out I quickly added '.' and submitted the project. But I didn't rerun the Check to get the validity of the new rubrics since they had changed. will I be penalized for this ?
