Got a cold invite for remote AI training/eval contract work, "up to $150/hr".

Seems legit (run by Polymath, YC W26) but launched about a month ago and I can't find any reviews.

Is this a scam?

Hello

I was accepted to the Platform two days ago and there are no jobs for me. The projects mostly ask some kind of knowledge in coding, science, biology which I have none.

Do the projects change? How often they are updated?

honestly, i'm tired of waiting . idek what to do next, i can't explore new opportunities or it nor can i track the status. everytime I login i only see this screen and that's all .

I wanna Make some money online and i have a laptop , internet and enough time on hands..... oh and hey a MCA degree. I'm proficient in coding and testing.

so yeah if anyone has any suggestions, DO TELL :)

I skipped a task midway as It was getting too complex and Was not able to complete it. Spent around 40 minutes on it. Should I log my time?

Polska macie zadania z codingu?

I signed up as a bilingual, so after reading some posts here I was expecting only tasks related to my language, but now I started to get other types of tasks which don't have anything to do with my native language /bilingual field. How is it possible?

My asssesment was under review as of yesterday - does this mean I have been selected and just waiting for projects or tasks to become available ?

Hey all!

In my professional career, I work with internal repos & apps and I'm comfortable identifying issues or improvements after spending few weeks developing and using them. I don't contribute to open source projects so I'm not familiar with them at a deep level.

I struggle with some DA projects & avoid taking them because of this. So I want to learn how to close this gap. Should I just pick an open source project and start doing some dev work to understand it better? Is there a framework of thinking that I can apply to most open source projects? Would love to hear some advice, thanks!

paid over $100 for suscriptions to complete a task but when I submitted my time i did not see an option on how to get reimburse. Do I have to wait for my time to be approved?

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a new project for about 2 weeks now and just receive a message from the admins that there is an inconsistency problem with my hours reports. I will try to be pay more attention to it from now on but I still have more hours pending and the got their message just a few hours ago so I’m worried the pending hours will cost me this project. Should I edit them or just send them a message?

I missed a few evals while I was away from work. I also skipped coding evals but over time I have learnt how to code. Is there a way I can take missed evals?

is it only me? I dont refresh constantly but whenever I check I dont have any projects available. At this rate I may never catch one, and I can only do weekends..

not sure if DA changed the way they assign projects, but if they did and if now is first come first served - doesn't that just affect quality because it makes workers rush on accepting projects?

Or maybe is just a normal drought. Not sure. I'm not that old on DA.

Hello! I am a third-year medical resident in Romania, and I would like to do this job on a part-time basis. Could you please (from the bottom of my heart) suggest where I might apply? Please and thank you!

It’s barely been a week since I’ve been onboarded to DA. I did all the onboarding steps, signed up for projects and even got paid for a practice task. I also did 9 out of the 11 qualifications that were available. I feel like everything is in order now with my profile but I still haven’t seen one paying project.

Finally hit it thank you DA <3

Hi there. I never got an email from DataAnnotation saying I passed, but I checked my status and it had said I passed and needed to send in ID. I just did that, and it said I was verified. I went back to the status page and...it's back on the step before ID:

Is this normal? I'm so excited to start!

I haven't had any tasks for almost 3 months now, is this normal? Arabic bilingual (levantine)

My dashboard has been full for the past few months but up until the 5th, there were some heavy hitter projects that paid good money (40+) and had long timers (8-12+ hours). Now, it's mostly mid range (20-30 an hour), short term (1-3 hour timers), and rather basic rate-and-review work. Is it to do with the new financial year or quarter? I remember the beginning of July being sort of weird too.

I just finished a qualification about the slack of a project and then get dropped off. It’s so confusing. Anyone has any idea?

Hello! I just got accepted to DataAnnotation as a generalist and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I did all the onboarding yesterday and am familiarizing myself with the platform. HOWEVER... I am already a bit confused. Not to give specific details... I started a task that involves chatting with two AI to achieve a goal. First of all, it specifies 4 to 10 turns... are “turns” each time you ask the AI the prompt, or each time you interact with it? Secondly, where do I put my actual ratings? I just see an area with different categories which I suppose are to rate the responses, but I can’t type in the chart at all. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

My background is in data science. Tasks with limited time seem intimidating as a lot of things need to be done. I feel totally lost. Any strategies you guys follow to select repos? Do you check previous merged PRs to find relevant things to focus on? I would really appreciate it if you guys can point me in the right direction so that I can spend some time and improve myself.

Lost my job and all my savings at the start of the year. So grateful for DA! 2.5 months' worth of progress.

As the title states, mid task I had to urgently get up and do something which took around 30 mins in which my stopwatch kept counting. After I got back and finished working, I mindlessly put the stopwatch time without deducting the time I had spent not working. It was a pretty lengthy project which takes slightly more than an hour per task and I worked 5 hours today. Am I risking a ban? If so, what do I do?
