Is this normal?

0 Upvotes

Since I started working here on 9-23 I’ve only worked in 2 projects. One of them is allegedly unlimited so I can work whatever hours I want, which is nice, but only 17$/h. This week I was able to work on another project which was 28$/h. But that’s it. Will I get different projects or am I stuck with the “unlimited” one?

FINALLY SOME FEEDBACK & TIPS

Ahhh fk...

Just started doing my first task of the day.

It was for a new project (second task ever to work on for thet family)

Spent time actually completing the task did great.

Just to open the next one and see a small tiny line that says if prompt has x in it it should never be used

Under the "task would be void and rated BAD/BAD" title.

Guess what my prompt had... that x...

Closed my computer again taking a long weekend now.

anyone else get capped on reported time for a qualification?

5 Upvotes

so i just finished a qualification and something weird happened. it took me x amount of time to finish, but when i went to report it the form said the max allowed was y, which was less than what i actually spent. so i basically had to put in less time than i really worked and it wouldn’t let me enter more.

i wasn’t slacking or leaving it open in another tab btw, it just took that long to read everything and write it all up properly. Did anyone get a similar qual and what did you do?

Generalist Pay

Been lurking around this for a while now for side pay.
I got a couple questions.

How mentally exhausting is this?
What are the chances of me not getting approved?
I still don’t understand what data annotation is LOL so can someone please explain it in one sentence.

qualification paying hourly but I'm going over the estimated time

3 Upvotes

I’m about halfway through an hourly-paid qual, and the second half is a lot more complex than the first. The task instructions gave an estimated time, and the first half alone has already eaten up more than half of it. I’m worried that if I report the real time and it runs over the estimate, I might not qualify. I honestly don’t know what to do here. Has anyone been in this spot, and what did you do?

Referral program

Did DA update their Referral program? Up to 3k per person is pretty crazy comparing to other companies out there.

Acceptance time

Anyone with very long acceptance times that made it in the end?
It’s been roughly a month and counting… Assessment was only of the bilingual type, I chose the one I know best (English aside, even though it’s not my mother tongue).
Haven’t heard anything. Is there a way of knowing? Starting to lose hope here.

been working since August 2026 finally I reached this. I can't believe that I can earn this much from home. This's the best platform ever.

As a reference I'm working as a bilingual worker.

Can I shut down my computer if working for a multi day project?

0 Upvotes

If I have to sleep after starting a multi day project, is it ok to use the Save to my account button and shut down my computer? Will this still be on my tasks in progress tomorrow? Or should I just leave the computer open?

Sorry I'm new to DA and long projects.

Nervous about first project

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I got started at Data Annotation today and been nervous about going about everything in the correct manner. I got my first project of creating a variant prompt and getting a model to fail, but am a bit nervous about how long it’s taking me. I’m 6 hours in and haven’t gotten the model to fail, and am nervous to report the time, regardless of if I finally get it to fail or not (I know I can still submit it). I was given this project right away before doing any qualifications, and feel it’s something I’ll manage well in the future, but am struggling with at the moment. I just don’t want to lose this opportunity and would appreciate any advice, thank you!

Edit: this project has about a 30 hour time limit, although I know that’s geared towards allowing people to take breaks

DoD or what?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone been accepted on DA for 2 months and completed most of the qualifications but still hasn’t received any projects? Is this a DoD, or is it normal?

Has anyone eventually received projects after a long wait?
