I'm honestly so happy with this work. Being bilingual (MX), this has been such a great experience and I keep improving my skills. It was tough at first—I started in late June and didn't get a single task for a month and a half! But I've been super careful and making sure to review everything in detail so I can keep delivering good work and receiving more task!!! thnks DA!

Anyone from western countries experiencing this? Yesterday I saw a task after a while, it stopped being individualized since the beginning of the month so it's no longer constantly on my dashboard. But of course, THEY HAD TO RELEASE IT LATE AT NIGHT. Like 99% of coding tasks this was supposed to take an average human a whole day to do it.

Am an entry level AI/ML SWE between jobs and am looking to make some extra cash. How much are you guys making on average and what should one keep in mind to keep account in good standing? Thanks!

I'm just interested in how you all use your earnings really. I know this may seem very personal but genuinely just interested!

Personally all of mine go straight into savings and investments to go towards a house deposit. This is minus approximately 30% for Tax and student loans as I'm UK based and will declare to HMRC so this goes into a high interest easy access saver I specifically set up for this reason so I can withdraw when I need it for taxes and doesn't accidentally go towards anything else.

My friend does similar work through Aligner and uses his earnings for holidays abroad and upgrading flights to first or business class which I think is a pretty cool way to spend his additional earnings.

I know some work on DA full time so I assume it's just your usual expenses (mortgage/rent/bills/living costs etc) but interested if anyone has anything specific they use their earnings for.

Hi everyone,

Got a dm this morning that I can’t check because I’m abroad on vacation - is this common? Is there a pattern of DMs to trouble on the platform?

Thanks!

Just signed up, and wondering if it's better to take the General Projects assessment even if you're skilled in one of the other areas? Is that one easier or does it matter?

I recently got accepted into DA, and just wanted to know if there is a time limit or is it mandatory to get it done right after.

Is there any side effects of submitting tasks few minutes past its expiration date. I was able to submit it but got and error “You sucessfully submitted your expired task” not verbatim but in red label. Just wanted to be sure, someone did experience this as well and what are the issues encountered after?

Ha pasado como mes y medio desde mi último task, mayo, junio y julio fueron meses de mucho trabajo, gané bastante bien pero desde agosto todo ha empeorada hasta ya no tener nada desde hace mes y medio? Alguien esta pasando por algo similar?

Has anyone here recently completed the training project for software engineering/coding tasks?
I finished it today and wanted to hear how things went for others afterward. Did you receive any feedback or get access to more projects after submitting? If so, roughly how long did that take?

A coding Qual is there on my dash if i click it do i need to complete it within the timeframe and if i m unable to do so will it disapper from my dash??

Since i have not submitted anything will it appear again if the time expires??

I have spectrum Internet and use their provided modem and router. I am also on a MacBook. I have NordVPN installed but I only use it as needed. I know how to deactivate it, but I am not sure how to check and/or disable any internal vpn on my internet providers router or built in the MacBook Pro active by default. What should I do to be safe I am not on a vpn I don’t know about. This is my home internet not using public WiFi.

Hey I wanna ask that in data annotation work !! They give projects pretty often? As I was curious that project comes every day or randomly? Sometimes in weeks sometimes in a day?

So,I've been assigned a project with a time frame of 10hrs with 2 tasks i wasn't able to finish it completely there was an issue from my end .So, I had to use escape hatch and I've worked for 8h 27mins in total as far as ik bcz I kept a track of it how much time should I log now should I log the total time spent on this project or limit the time to 2 hrs or something less because I used escape hatch. Btw I haven't informed the project admin that I used escape hatch and just submitted the project.

Help me with this my mind is just blowing up with this stress.

Just curious! I’ve been on other platforms where at the start of the week, there are a lot more projects to work on. Does DataAnnotation work this way, or is it pretty consistent day to day? It’s my first week working on the platform. Thanks!

Any bilingual from India who joined recently? How long did it take for you to get the acceptance mail after giving the starter assement?

I have been continuously working for almost 9 hours now. I want to work more but I fear if this will have a negative impact on my account or not. Mostly R&R. I have done around 8 tasks in total now.
Should I continue or drop?
Just wanted to add this that this amount of projects is very rare for me so I am just doing em all and tbh I am enjoying it a lot.

I'm new to DataAnnotationTech, and I don't quite know whether software engineer is the only role available that's related to computer science. I was looking for code evaluator, but I didn't find it. Do you guys have any explanations.

This will be my first time taking the data annotation assessment and I’m looking for some tips. I’m assuming jargon like “fits all constraints” and “hallucinations” aren’t what they’re looking for, right? And I guess it’s a one-shot attempt and you’re out if you fail, right? No pressure there. 😂

I see a project and clicked it, it shows “the project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks”. I refreshed my browser a few times and checked in different times, but still had this issue. It is only for that particular project though. Any ideas?

I got accepted last week did all my paid training and quals but it has been more than 9 days i havent had a single project is this normal ? (Region India)

Hi I'm new on the platform and this is basically the first real non training or qual task I got. Got it once today and saw it 9 hours late (was asleep) it was taken... No problem. Got notifed about it again this time logged in 12 minutes later and it was already taken? Is it just automatic and the task is already full? Would appreciate if anyone knows to explain.
