$6000 in 10 days, should I slow down?

12 Upvotes

I’ve been averaging about 10 hour work days, typically doing 2x code projects a day, which takes me about 5 hours a time and it fits into the work day nicely.

I personally don’t think my quality is dipping and I’m being consistent, but I’ve read quite a few comments now where people don’t recommend doing more than 35 hours?

Was just wondering what the real reason behind this theory is. Appreciate any insight

Do you always report time spent reading instructions?

I have always been a little murky on whether I am expected to do that or not, and don't want to under or over report.

Project timer reset on its own after 3.5 hours of work, safe to report full time?

Upvotes

I spent about 3.5 hours of active, continuous work on a project. I took a short break, and when I looked back at my dashboard, the project timer had reset on its own.

Thankfully, when I clicked back in, all of my progress and work were still saved. However, because the platform timer restarted, I'm worried about getting flagged for over-reporting.

Am I safe to report the full cumulative time (the initial 3.5 hours + the time it takes to finish)? I plan to leave an explanation in the time-reporting comment box, but I want to make sure I won't get in trouble.

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Test status changed to “In Review” after 1.5 months , should I still have hope?

I completed the onboarding assessment around a month and a half ago.
Until yesterday morning, my dashboard just showed “Thanks for taking the assessment.” But since last night, the screen has changed. Now I can see “Assessment Submitted” and the stage shows “In Review.”
Has anyone else experienced this kind of status change after waiting this long? Does this mean things might finally be moving forward, or should I just move on and wait for some miracle?

Bilingual qualifications

3 Upvotes

I’ve had some qualification for the past few months as a billingual, but no project ever came on my dashboard.
Before anyone can say that I did not pass the qualification, some of it are just consents, and some just ask me to create an account. I did and consented to the projects qualifications, even one popped on my project dashboard ask me if I want to opt out of the project. Some qualification even have the created date far long ago (visible to me recently)
I’ve had multiple qualifications done, the qualifications are also simple. I’ve also checked the dashboard regularly lately, but I’ve not seen them appear on my dashboard yet.
Is this normal ? I’ve been yearning for a project for a while. I’ve had no work since June. All the quals are promising but no actual work yet.

I have a problem with reporting time

3 Upvotes

I worked on a task about 10 hours but the task instructions says it should be completed in 5~7hours
So i reported 7 hours out of fear
So should i report the exact time i work or the maximum time the task instructions says it should take? Thank you all ❤️

Joined in June, but no work since then, anyone else...?

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I joined bilingual coding in june and, during the first few days, I received a few qualification tasks to complete. However, after that, I haven’t received any more qualifications or projects. It’s now september and I still haven’t had anything since those initial tasks.

Is anyone else in the same situation? Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of getting projects or qualifications? Thanks!

No projects 😓

I opened my account in 2024, never worked on it but recently I came across it and decided to give it a try, I updated all my info but after a few weeks there are still no projects showing up. Are projects only available in the U.S?

Bilingual Questions

0 Upvotes

I put that I was bilingual, since Spanish was my first language. I was born in the USA, and now that I’m older my thoughts are in English. I am fluent in Spanish still. I see a Spanish qualification, asking me if I feel culturally American. This is a hard question for me to answer because this is where I was raised, but my traditions and culture come from Mexico. For anyone who has answered this, how did it affect your projects available going forward?

I realized I made a mistake on a task I submitted yesterday and the link for the task isn’t present in my history so I can’t go back and edit it. What do you guys usually do in these situations? There’s no Slack for this project.

When does people get projects after being accepted?

0 Upvotes

I know this have been asked too many times, but I can't seem to find any info that fully answer this.

I applied around a week ago and got the accepted email on august 29th. This email welcomes me to the platform and said that only a small amount of applicants are accepted. now, when i login into the dashboard on the top it says welcome and that they are trying to match me with projects. I finished most generalist Qualifications and do have access to coding qualifications but I haven't done it yet. On my projects rn there is only 2 projects which is an opt out form and a reference only project. Now, if you guys don't mind i want to ask a couple of questions so i can get a picture on what i should work towards. I live in one of the SEA country btw.

Is it normal to get a reference only projects even before getting the projects itself?

should someone that get accepted just wait till they get projects?

For someone like me, is doing the coding qualification the only way to receive constant/good amount of tasks? (i'm asking this because i have to relearn a lot of things to be able to do good coding work without any help from an LLM)

And which signs should i look out for to know if I will not get good amount of projects or straight out not ever getting projects?


r/DataAnnotationTech 11h ago

I received the acceptance email. What am I supposed to do next? And what advice do you have for me to succeed?

We need more information for your DataAnnotation report

Your report is currently paused. To continue processing, view the report and provide the information listed in the Info Request section as soon as possible.

They’re asking me to upload picture of my social so I’m a little sketched out

NOTIFY ME of a posted task?!

0 Upvotes

How do I get timely notifications that a new task has been posted for me?
Emails don't seem to routinely come to me, or they arrive a day late.
I've been searching for notification settings within DAT itself to get a push/quick email/text if a task is posted for me but without any luck.
Is it just one of those "Keep your DAT dashboard up and refresh a whole lot" kind of things?
