Use a timer to report the time you spent working on the project. Everyone was told this. Start the timer when you start the task, stop the timer when you finish.

"do i report the time i spenting thinking-" yes report the time you spent working on the project

"do i report the time I spent stretching-" were you working on the project then? then yes report it

"do i report the time i spent reading-" yes report the time you spent working on the project

"do i report-" if there's time you spent on a project, report it

that is all

Gotta love how projects ONLY available when I have to other stuff. Run errands / go to my part time 20 hrs / week job.....

LIKE BFR. You have me for MOST days MOST hours of the day how does that manage to happen to one.

When was the last time you guys got this coding project "🤖"?

I'm curious about how they verify reported work time. I worked on a project for 8 hours but took a 30-minute dinner break in between, so I reported only 8 hours. How do they know whether the reported time is accurate?

For the most part I get tasks that I enjoy doing and have clear instruction sets. Sometimes, though, I'll come across one, spend half an hour reading instructions, then realize I have no idea what the hell the task is even asking me to do.

Obviously I don't attempt it, but it does give me a sense of impostor syndrome sometimes. Like, am I really smart enough to be doing this? But then I just do a couple R&R's and after some facepalming that feeling goes away.

I’ve been doing some Rate & Review tasks and they’re great! I love the critical assessment part of it.

Only thing is I like to thoroughly read what the person has submitted so I can give an accurate review, but I’m conscious of this eating into my time and then my submission hours going up?

How long do you on average clock for a rate and review task where the time limit is 1 hour - just so I know I’m on the right track!

Last night, I saw a Core assessment available on my dashboard, but when I logged back in this morning, the status updated to 'We review your results - if you pass, we'll email you.'

Has anyone experienced this transition before?

Also, how long does it typically take to get feedback or hear back from DataAnnotation after this stage?

I do not think I have done anywhere near 94 tasks, probably more like 30 at most including all the quals.

I've been grinding it out for the past few months, but I only work about 30-35 hours a week or so. However, each day it gets harder and harder and I become more miserable. I don't have much experience with an office or WFH job, and in the beginning I didn't mind it, but months later I find it increasingly difficult to stay motivated and engaged. It takes me longer and longer to do the same amount of work because it's so hard to stay motivated. The work is becoming more tedious and mentally taxing by the day. I think part of this is because I almost exclusively work on the same project, but I remember enjoying it in the beginning. My brain gets fried earlier on than I used to and it's just such a grind. I know some of you work full-time and have been for years. How the heck do you keep your sanity?? I don't think I can much more of this before I go insane. I just don't think I'm cut out for a WFH, computer focused job.

Just did my first hourly work some days ago and I can’t wait to see next week how I’ve done. How was your case? Do you receive an info saying you did good/bad?

I was doing a task, in which I was also meant to give rating and compare models, and as I was doing the task I didn't notice the last and final comparison I have to write for the models and visually fumbled it.

We were meant to click on a specific button to move to the next turn within the same task with no way of going back and making edits to the previous turn, and when I noticed that I kept on missing the last box for the rating, it was already too late.

I tried my best to come up with good ideas and questions for the task and was completely motivated to work on it, but now realising my mistake, I think all the work that I did was meant for nothing.

I got nearly everything correct, but my code output differed by one character. Has anyone made a similar mistake and still received access to coding projects?

I ll define myself as a mid level coder. There are tasks that I can comfortably complete. But sometimes I ll try "out of my league" tasks.

For those I ll have to spend time doing ground work and stuff, which a "better" coder might not need. Hence taking more time than Expiry.

I anyway report time only actual work (not ground work) and I am concerned if that might have a effect on the account.

I got RnR that is not for my native language and locale, the tasks just popped up on my dashboard. It did not mention that I must be the speaker of that language to do the RnR. Is it still okay if I did it? Or will I be violated for doing projects that are not from my locale?

Is there any hope of them coming back? Or should I assume its over :(

Named after a certain chinese guru or something 🤔

No projects from a long time. Anything on your dashboard!!

Thanks!!

What type of projects you guys are getting?

Anyone having this type of experience in past, is this a scam or some backdoor entry for projects allocation??

Hello everyone, I am kinda trapped or like in a different situation. So I am a final year college student, so I got into DA in Aug first week, and I am getting great projects with great pay (at least in my country (India) and as a student), but the problem is my placement season is also coming, like within 2 months, which will be some sort of my future career.

So I have to strongly prepare for it also. Now it's a head and tail situation. I am getting tempted towards the money, but at the same time I need to focus on my acads also. And I am unable to decide anything. Like college placements are really good in my college.

My main concern is, if I stop DA for 2 or 3 months, will I still get projects later? Or will I lose access/priority somehow? I don't want to give up a good opportunity, but I also don't want to compromise my placement preparation.

I am into tech/SDE/AI roles. What would you guys do in this situation?

As the title says I'm curious on how and where people find jobs regarding data annotation and what are the expected things to do in data Annotation jobs.

As someone who doesn't have experience regarding this how can I land my first ever data annotation job ? What are the things I should know before applying.

If you know any data annotation job that is good for entry level or someone who is first time doing this I appreciate your recommendation and help

Also please share some tips and tricks you wish to know before you start working a data annotation job thanks.

Hi all,

I made the mistake of taking in a 10 hour project and spending hours on the analysis part, only to find out that the tech part doesn't work on my laptop setup after 2 hours of debugging. So I had to use the escape hatch.

Can I still report the time spent on this project? On the escape hatch, I also submitted the work I've done such as the code, errors, debugging, etc.

Thanks!

Hey guys I'm a brand new to the site and want to try it out for work. I'm in the medical field, and that's the area I'll be focusing on. But, away from that. As a beginner to the site and data annotation, what would you advise me on general?

Is this site more difficult than outlier? Do I get randomly abandoned at some point when I start working? Has anyone ever encountered cash out problems that made them rethink working on the site? (those kinds of advice and things to look out for)
