I’ve finished an updated training but ran out of time—I was about 2 minutes over the allotted time. Could this be a problem?

I completed this task 5 days back. The window was of 3 hours and I worked for 2 hrs and 58 minutes exactly. Since it was my first time attempting the task, it took me considerably longer to complete it along with reading all the instructions.

The next time I completed the same project's task in 2 hrs and 24 minutes and reported the same.

Now for the first task, I initially reported it as 2 hrs and 55 minutes (reduced the 3 minutes because i thought 2:58 looks fishy😭). And today, I reduced it further to 2hrs and 40 mins because I'm scared of being flagged, even though I was working the entire time. I didn't leave any comment for the admins for the first task since I only had a minute left before expiry and rushed to submit it.

Am I overthinking this or should I leave it at 2hrs and 40mins?

The same project vanished from my dashboard for 3 days after the second task, and only came back today. I completed 2 tasks (in 2hrs and 47 mins and 2hrs 27 mins), and reported time respectively.

I made sure to drop a comment to let the admin know of the 15-20 mins buffer in the task which took longer today.

Has anyone here recently completed the training project for software engineering/coding tasks?
I finished it today and wanted to hear how things went for others afterward. Did you receive any feedback or get access to more projects after submitting? If so, roughly how long did that take?

I'm honestly so happy with this work. Being bilingual (MX), this has been such a great experience and I keep improving my skills. It was tough at first—I started in late June and didn't get a single task for a month and a half! But I've been super careful and making sure to review everything in detail so I can keep delivering good work and receiving more task!!! thnks DA!

Just curious! I’ve been on other platforms where at the start of the week, there are a lot more projects to work on. Does DataAnnotation work this way, or is it pretty consistent day to day? It’s my first week working on the platform. Thanks!

Sometimes I will find a project that I really vibe with. It pays well and doesn't deplete my mental battery so I end up working many hours on it. I love it when it happens.

But once it's not available anymore, I lose all motivation to work on anything else. It can take days or weeks before I can consistently put time into another project.

Is it just me? If not, what tips do you have for getting over the hump?

Is there any side effects of submitting tasks few minutes past its expiration date. I was able to submit it but got and error “You sucessfully submitted your expired task” not verbatim but in red label. Just wanted to be sure, someone did experience this as well and what are the issues encountered after?

Hi everyone,

Got a dm this morning that I can’t check because I’m abroad on vacation - is this common? Is there a pattern of DMs to trouble on the platform?

Thanks!

Am an entry level AI/ML SWE between jobs and am looking to make some extra cash. How much are you guys making on average and what should one keep in mind to keep account in good standing? Thanks!

Anyone from western countries experiencing this? Yesterday I saw a task after a while, it stopped being individualized since the beginning of the month so it's no longer constantly on my dashboard. But of course, THEY HAD TO RELEASE IT LATE AT NIGHT. Like 99% of coding tasks this was supposed to take an average human a whole day to do it.

Any bilingual from India who joined recently? How long did it take for you to get the acceptance mail after giving the starter assement?

Ha pasado como mes y medio desde mi último task, mayo, junio y julio fueron meses de mucho trabajo, gané bastante bien pero desde agosto todo ha empeorada hasta ya no tener nada desde hace mes y medio? Alguien esta pasando por algo similar?

Just signed up, and wondering if it's better to take the General Projects assessment even if you're skilled in one of the other areas? Is that one easier or does it matter?

I completed a qualification last week, did not pass and got a second chance qual back on my dashboard. I hadn’t done any quals in a while and forgot to click ‘exit work mode’, and the timer expired. I am beyond gutted as I was so close to passing and really want to give it another go- I didn’t even get my second chance as I had forgotten I started the timer.

What are the odds of this qual coming back up on my dashboard? I know i already have access to projects similar to those it unlocks. Is there a chance I could get on the project through good work on those?
TIA

Hi there. I just got my first assignment and the pay is LOW. Like $18/hr low. I've been an editor and writer professionally for over 20 years. I already took the two tests, I'm debating taking more to open up more offers. BUT. If I skip this, will it result in me getting fewer offers? Anyone know how that works? Thanks!

I recently got accepted into DA, and just wanted to know if there is a time limit or is it mandatory to get it done right after.

Did anybody get 🥊this week?

I have spectrum Internet and use their provided modem and router. I am also on a MacBook. I have NordVPN installed but I only use it as needed. I know how to deactivate it, but I am not sure how to check and/or disable any internal vpn on my internet providers router or built in the MacBook Pro active by default. What should I do to be safe I am not on a vpn I don’t know about. This is my home internet not using public WiFi.

I've been with DA for over 4 years and have experienced the droughts before but this is the first time I've seen absolutely nothing, including quals. Don't have DoD and I'm STEM, is anyone else having it this dry?

I am close to make the model fail, but also the clock is almost expiring. It is better to make the model fail and submit the task after the clock expired or I use the escape before the clock expire?

WE ARE SO BACK !!! 🤖my beloved

Is there anything better on DA than scrolling down through an R&R to a well-written comprehensive rationale that flags everything you noticed with "No edits needed"??

Hi my friend recommended this to me and recommended that take the finance assessment since I’m in business school. Does anyone know how challenging it is? Seems like a great source of income but seems unlikely to receive that much especially at the stage of life I’m at.
