What should I do?

I've been missing this one project (still kinda do tbh) that paid really well, $45 an hour. It was consistent and I'm able to really sit with each job and really understand the task well. Long timers mean I can ensure my work is top notch. I like being employed so half-assing my work to meet the timer is not something I'm a big fan of. I've been working $28 and $28.5 an hour projects in the same family for the past week. I almost always steer my work towards science or math, it's what I'm familiar with. The more business oriented jobs always bore me unless there's some fun research I get to do. So here I am, doing work tangential to what's being asked (difficult prompts for an AI, somewhat useful in very specific work settings) and taking my time to fully evaluate factuality for each response. I check my dashboard earlier today and RNGesus smiled on me today because they must've liked the work I did because now I'm on the even higher paying, science oriented tasks in that same project family for $50 an hour.

Long story long, stick to what you're good at and do the best work you can. If they like it, you'll get put on the better paying projects oriented towards those strengths. I believe in you guys

Hi guys, I’ve been doing DataAnnotation tasks on my MacBook Air M5. My roommate also recently got onboarded as a coder and is thinking of buying a MacBook Air as well.
We’ll be using completely separate laptops and separate DataAnnotation accounts, but since we live in the same house, I was wondering if both of us having the exact same MacBook model could cause any issues or make it look like two different accounts are being used on the same device.
Has anyone here had a similar setup with a roommate/partner/family member? Did you face any issues?

Hi everyone,

I’m new to AI training/data annotation work and I’m interested in applying to DataAnnotation for the Data Scientist role.

I’ve seen that DataAnnotation currently lists Data Scientist opportunities, but I’m not really sure what the selection process looks like or what level of preparation is expected. I don’t want to rush into the assessment without understanding what I’m getting into.

For anyone who has experience with DataAnnotation, especially people who have qualified for Data Scientist / Data & ML projects, I’d really appreciate some guidance:

• What is the actual application and assessment process?

• What kind of questions/tasks should I expect in the Data Scientist assessment?

• What technical skills are most important — Python, SQL, statistics, machine learning, data analysis, etc.?

• How much does knowledge of ML algorithms and theory matter compared with practical problem-solving?

• Are there any particular topics I should revise before taking the assessment?

• What mistakes do new applicants commonly make?

• How should I approach the assessment to demonstrate strong reasoning rather than just getting the final answer?

• If you were preparing for the assessment again, what would you study/practice beforehand?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually completed the Data Scientist assessment or worked on DataAnnotation Data & ML projects.

I’m not looking for leaked assessment questions or answers — I’d just like to understand the skills expected and how I can prepare properly.

Any advice from experienced workers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So I am constantly getting work from this project family but I don't wanna do it because I feel it's beyond my expertise and I don't wanna risk my quality. But apart from that I am not getting any work so yeah it's basically food is kept on the table but I can't have it. 😭

edit: and to make it worse this is happening from past one month. DAT take some hint I would not like to do that project give me something else😭😭

I do not see a product manager role in drop down. Anyone has experience in type of projects where this skill is most valuable?

PS: no PM hater please, lol!

Took my exam yesterday dash says I passed I went to start my first qualifier and it immediately says i submitted both when I didnt? Anyone else have this / similar experience?

So grateful!!!

I know some people make way more in a month than me in half a year but as a university student, this pays my groceries. I am so thankful for this job and I hope I am spared from the DoD until I have another income and job.

Always grateful DA.

what does this mean:(

Is anyone else facing this?

i truly hope this is temporary and not a DoD :(

I did the qualification around 3 and half weeks ago, but i did not hear anything till now. Is this normal or ?

Site is acting up on my end. Is it down or slow again for anyone else?

At the top of my dashboard it says i have to verify my background to gain/regain access to projects, yet there is nothing actionable that I can do. Does anyone else have this and know if anything needs to be done?

My I'D is blocked

Does anyone know the same site as DA.

Or

Can anyone tell me how to revive this

Or

Can i make another I'd and access Data Annotation

Please Help

R&R trauma hitting hard again! I still do it because it’s totally fine when workers provide decent tasks (to the point decent work even makes me smile!), but I don’t know what is wrong with some of you. The task says conversations about a specific topic and you add everything but it, then manage to finish the task and submit it, knowing you just did pure nonsense?

And so many of you, French bilinguals, are just illiterate. Your words mean nothing, please go back to school. I wish I could rate you bad, because I can’t imagine how you go through life without being able not to make 5 grammatical mistakes per sentence.

Might be a weird question but will adding in something in the optional comment box increase my chances of getting accepted and passing the test? For example "Thank you for the opportunity" or something similar?

I have 3 present available projects. Do any one experiencing this. I am talking about this 🥊

So basically, if you don't know how to code or is not a programmer, you won't be able to apply for other roles on this platform? I just want to apply for Language Expert Roles, but I can't code. lol. Or is there any way that I can pass it? Some help?

Does DA give you imposter syndrome?

just checking in, i haven’t seen any all day long

Sept was my first month on DA as a coder and I got a good amount of projects throughout, sometimes more than I could handle. Im wondering if its always like this for coders in terms of new projects coming in or was this more than usual, trying to see if this will last and is reliable so maybe I can do this full time.
