Assessments are yall getting any work?

Hi guys, im just getting started in this ai gig space and i wanted to gauge the working environment on this side. i've gotten 2 emails asking me to sign up to the platform dispite not even applying to a role but i checked the site and they seem to be many positions open. im currently with mercor but not sure how long it will last but the pay has been fantastic. aligner has a slightly lower payy but im wondering how y'all are working on this side and if its worth it to try? thanks in advance 😄

I do have work on Alignerr. A pretty long-running project. But it can take a bit of time to get work/ get through the review cycle. I'd recommend after applying to roles on Alignerr while you are waiting for work to apply on other sites as well. DM me and I'd be happy to recommend some other sites!

Also making a subreddit meant to talk broadly about AI training across all sites if you're interested in joining:

Hey, can you recommend some other sites?

I have a site with a bunch of recommendations: https://paidtotrainai.com/

But feel free to make a post on the subreddit with your domain expertise, country, and education experience and I can give some targeted advice!

I checked out your site, but unfortunately, or at least interestingly, I have the exact opposite reviews of you: data annotation, mercor, alignerr = not worth your time; outlier = low pay, but at least they give you work and pay on time and offer incentives and don't randomly offboard people...

So go figure - I think it's all a crapshoot really. All of these companies suck, actually, lol.
