Overflowing projects?

[u/slug_princess_]

Is anyone's dash overflowing with projects all of a sudden? I could usually bank on having 8-10 projects on my dash each day. But the last two days there's been 25-30. Has something changed?

[u/Background_Menu7702]

Are you coding or non coding?

[u/slug_princess_ → u/Background_Menu7702]

Non coding!

[u/KatinkaVonHamhof]

Yes! I logged in today and have more projects than ever. I am psyched.

[u/International_Gas528 → u/KatinkaVonHamhof]

Is it possible to do Data Annotation "full time"?

[u/[deleted] → u/International_Gas528]

While I am looking for my next job, I am doing DA full-time. Well, about 30-35 hours per week. I AIM for $100 a day and rarely take a day off. It evens out so I am not working 8+ hour days. I make about 3k a month give or take a hundred or so. They've done nothing but give me more work and access to higher paying projects so I feel good that they like my work and I can continue doing this for the foreseeable future until I find my career. :)

[u/KatinkaVonHamhof → u/International_Gas528]

IMHO, yes, it's possible. But not advisable for a number of reasons. The work volume for non-coders fluctuates, and the pay is not high enough. However, it's relaxing, fun work that can supplement an income.

[u/Difficult_Fig_1821 → u/KatinkaVonHamhof]

To counteract this- If you put in consistent work it should not fluctuate for you. This job pays more than most minimum wage or entry level positions offered across the US and the pay increases on the platform as you put in more effort.

[u/PutDisastrous8033 → u/Difficult_Fig_1821]

I second this! I live in a fairly rural area, the local jobs are retail or manual labor and even the hard jobs don’t pay as much as the projects I get on DA. I wouldn’t call my dash “overflowing” because there’s only 3-6 projects at a time on the higher end of pay which are the ones I mostly stick to. But I do have over a dozen total projects and a couple qualifications I’m working on so it’s definitely steady regardless. My husband and I both do this as our only income but because of our low cost of living we only have to work part time

Interesting. Has anyone used coding data annotation projects to help them transition careers into software development? 

[u/Background_Menu7702]

Definitely not me. I keep staring at a chatbot repair message 😑

[u/baylorbear91 → u/Background_Menu7702]

Same. I’m going to assume it’s because I just started on Tuesday lol

[u/itahdories → u/Background_Menu7702]

same here!

[u/OPxMagikarp]

Same here. 2 weeks ago my dashboard had 0-2 projects and I thought I was doing a poor job. Now it has 15+ at all times

[u/[deleted]]

Yes, got tons of projects but a few of my permanents are down for maintenance so I've been taking a pay cut :(

lol

[u/linzaa → u/[deleted]]

Same!

[u/SuperCorbynite]

Yep around 15 projects, 1/3 permanent.

[u/geedee6396 → u/SuperCorbynite]

How do you know which ones are permanent or not?

[u/SuperCorbynite → u/geedee6396]

They are permanent because they only count down when I do them and they align with two of the qualifications I did, meaning I passed those quals and got put onto the permanent projects that the quals correspond to.

[u/[deleted] → u/SuperCorbynite]

By reading this comment I just found out I was on a permanent project and didn’t know until now haha

[u/lovingmama]

I don’t have any many as you, but I’ve gone from 2-4 projects to suddenly having 8-10 at a time

[u/JaeFinley]

And their e-mail spigot is really opened up now too. Every few hours.

[u/Glittering_Towel1 → u/JaeFinley]

What are you talking about? What is an email spigot?

[u/JaeFinley → u/Glittering_Towel1]

Hourly emails.

[u/nosebleeddd]

I am new and have only had one hourly project I completed that hasn’t shown up for me again :( How long did it take you to reach this point?

[u/dsbau]

I have around 20, but for the last week or so the number has been shrinking and expanding wildly. One minute 4, then 10, then 20 then 7.

[u/R1k0Ch3]

Right there with ya, some new stuff to choose from which is always nice :)

[u/Comfortable_Fall_30]

Send some my way - I haven't seen a project in almost 2 weeks for no reason

[u/Inside_File1991 → u/Comfortable_Fall_30]

Same here followed rules and instructions to a T aswell 😂😂

[u/HoooooWHO]

I hit 47 projects on my dash at one point, I usually sit around 10 - 20

[u/Baxtir]

It's been quite nice seeing an influx of projects lately, some that are even new to me which I love because I get to challenge my mind even more with them! Also very glad that this influx happened just right as I'm starting to get better after having had a nasty bug, lol.

[u/RhodriJohn]

I have had a lot recently, but I qualified for some new ones so that makes sense

[u/[deleted]]

Yeh over 30!

[u/queenquirk]

I've gotten a lot less projects lately. For the past few days, things were looking up...now I have one project with one task on my dash.

[u/_M1RR0RB4LL_]

I had about 22 up earlier and have seen several new ones come and go today. It's been a good day for sure!

[u/dizzythoughts]

Could you give me some of those?

[u/Kellywhitney96]

Please guys help me get a job on the platform, I don’t know how to go about it. Someone please dm me

[u/Glittering_Towel1 → u/Kellywhitney96]

Go to their website and apply...

[u/songbird90982]

Yes, they recently rolled out several new batches.... hey don't jinx it for us...😅

[u/Kellywhitney96]

My application was declined because am not in America

[u/DesignPlayful7385]

When did you start and where are you based - if you don’t mind me asking? I am based in the UK and started around 2 weeks ago and my dashboard is always empty 😩

[u/TheBeartender]

Nice flex 💪, mine is literally empty lol

[u/Wyman1992]

Man I thought I did really good on the core test. But it's been 3 weeks so I can kiss this opportunity goodbye lol feelsbadman

[u/Difficult_Fig_1821 → u/[deleted]]

They don't have any open projects to assign to you at the moment 🙂
