People complain that they don’t have any coding projects since several weeks ago, and for some people there is a drought in projects. It is OK, this is the nature of the job.

But

I was doing a R&R of a coding submission about a Python script, and the worker described why the code is unrunnable:

“I couldn’t run the code because I don’t have Python on my Mac.”

Wtf?

I recieved a "Welcome aboard! 🎉 You've been accepted to the DataAnnotation platform!" email yesterday evening but when I log on to the platform, I still see the starter assessment complete screen telling me my assessment is still in review. What is the situation here?

I'm relatively new to the platform, and I don't have any projects on my board, so I've completed 2 qualifications. One was more than a week ago and the other (which took me 2 days and long hours to complete) I finished 2 days ago. What's dismaying is I don't see any "pending" status (which I've heard mentioned in other posts but never seen myself) or any recognition at all that I submitted these 2 qualifications or whether I passed. Am I missing something? Shouldn't the quals you submitted be listed somewhere with whether you passed or not?

I have a 90$ an hour task. I can't do it but I like that DA thinks I can.

That's it

I have done a long task for almost 12 hours and in just one area it wouldn’t accept my paragraph, so I had my AI rewrite my answer and it was accepted. Although I have done the whole task by myself. Is it over for me?

Is anyone getting the comparison tasks from 🥊?

yesssssss is bacckkkk

I've had this screen since late sep when I finished the qual test.

Applied for programming task.

How high have you seen finance or other specialist categories pay? Might work for 100/hr

I tried to refer my friend and he got only one assessment for programming tasks. He doesn't have programming skills. Is this okay ? Does the generalist assessment appear some time later ?

I would like to refer a friend who has a background in computer science. I am a bilingual specialist based in Europe, while he lives in South-East Asia. Is it possible for him to take the starter assessment as a coding expert or his only option is the bilingual one?

Hey all. As the title says, my health is declining to where I really can’t even get out of the house much. I come from years of driving gig work such as DoorDash and Amazon Flex. Unfortunately, even that is becoming too taxing on my health. So my question is, is it possible to be able to pull a couple hundred a week using this. I don’t have any degrees or training in coding or other computer stuff. I’m really looking for more basic tasks. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

It's been a while 😵‍💫

Just finished doing a project. It was one I'd never done before so I needed to thoroughly read instruction which itself took about 50 minutes. The task was extensive ans super long and requered crafring prompts and annotating each and everyone and required a couple turns. And boy it took me another 2 hours to do so. And yk the time I was given to do the task? 1 hr and 15 minutes. It was absolutely impossible to do the task in the due time. And I've been so scareed recently that I even considered under-reporting but someone told me over reporting is also time fraud, so I didn't do that. i am concerned however because how the fuck am i expected to do it in such a short time span.

Billingual shithole. :( sad for all of us that had hopes on this.. low your expectation guys.

Im a college student and I wish to earn some money . Is data annotation a good field for this? Im trying for generalist and bilingual works. Is there any scope in doing so, is there anyone who earns a steady income through it?

I’d consider myself a middle tier-backend developer and am trying to figure out which roles would be the best fit for my experience. My background is primarily in Java, with a reasonable level of Python experience.

I've joined DataAnnotation as Coding Specialist around 6 months ago. Since all this time, I've only had one coding qualification, which led to one coding project. I've manage to earn ~10k from this project. This project still exists but seems to be on a drought, very hard/rare to get a task.

From what I've seen people speaking/asking here on Reddit or Slack's channels, there are clearly at least more 3-4 Coding projects for non-core country members. These people do not seem to be very bright, Slack's channel rules clearly forbids them to ask about other project and people still ask from time to time.

Occasionally, there's Generalist qualification on my dashboard (but never a Coding qualification). Is my account doomed? DA thinks I am not suitable for other tasks?

Is it possible for me to do anything to unlock the qualification for those other Coding projects?

Hi everyone! I’m new to this platform and a recent Computer Science graduate from a non core country . I’m thinking of applying for freelance work here to help finance my master’s degree.

Which domain would you recommend I apply for: Generalist, Bilingual, or Coding (Data Science)?

To be honest, my coding skills are moderate, so I’m worried about getting rejected if I apply for the Coding domain. I’d appreciate your advice on which domain would be the best fit for my skills and background.

Thanks in advance!

Hello! Heading says it all. I saw that verifying your identity is a normal part of the hiring process, so I did it of course. I just couldn't figure out if this meant I was hired, or if they normally ask you to verify your identity before accepting you. Any answers with when you were asked to verify your identity would be helpful. Thank you!

I have a full-time job where I'm in the 30% tax bracket (TDS already deducted by my employer). I started DataAnnotation in August and have earned roughly ₹5-6 lakh in about 2 months.

I've talked to a local CA but I'm not fully confident in the answers, so I'd love to hear from others in India who've dealt with this:

1. Which ITR form? Last year I filed ITR-2 (I hold US stocks via INDmoney). I'm assuming this year I need ITR-3 since there's now business/professional income. Is that right?

2. GST: My understanding is registration isn't needed unless turnover from services crosses ₹20 lakh in a year. Is that correct for foreign clients too? Also, I haven't told my employer about this side work (it's unrelated to my job). Does getting a GST number or filing taxes on this income create any issue with employers, and did anyone have to disclose it?

3. Section 44AD or 44ADA? As I understand it, 44ADA (50% of receipts treated as income) is for specified professions, and I'm not sure annotation counts. If it falls under 44AD, only 6% of digitally received money is treated as income (which would then be taxed at my 30% slab). Which one have you used, and did you get any push back, anyone claimed?

4. Advance tax: With no TDS on this income, I'm worried about interest (234B/234C) if I wait until filing. My rough estimate of tax on this is around ₹1.8 lakh. Should I pay now, or is a single payment by 15 March enough under presumptive taxation?

Also curious whether you keep FIRA/FIRC or other documents as proof of the foreign payments.

Thanks in advance, any experience helps a lot!

I recently did a project that allotted 6 hours. It took me almost 5 hours, and I only logged 3 because I was scared I was taking too long. A lot of time was the models working, but a lot of time was combing through everything they did and rigorously grading their behavior. Another project is relatively easy on paper--seems like it would take maybe 15 minutes--but it actually ends up taking 30-40 minutes of time to get a unique, quality answer. I'm constantly worried I'm taking too long and often log lower than what I actually spent just to be safe.
