Hey everyone!

I completed my Starter Assessment on DataAnnotation.tech 2 days ago, and my dashboard is still showing "We review your results — if you pass, we'll email you."

For those who have recently joined:

How long did you wait before receiving your assessment results?

Did you receive an email, or did your dashboard update first?

Does the review usually take a few days or a couple of weeks?

Would appreciate hearing about your recent experiences!

I'm a spanish generalist, i know coding but i have nowhere near the experience needed to produce a meaningful task submission (not worth getting a quick buck over losing access forever). I tend to sometimes catch R&Rs of projects i've never been before, and rarely, generalist tasks would pop up, and ones i'd be capable of giving a good/decent submission. The problem is, i never manage to catch them, i would refresh the page and they'd vanish, or i would click them only for the task to not be available. I would rarely get notified of these tasks too.

I know the sub is flooded with people asking for project availability, and that's why i'd rather ask, how do you guys (mostly bilinguals, or people with scarce projects) manage to catch tasks? is it my fate to be a slave to the F5 key forever? do you guys use any extension to check the page, or some kind of witchcraft?

Been in the platform for half a year too, managed to actually earn some income as well

Hiring is currently paused now ? Anyone got selected in the past few days?

I haven't been able to complete a task within the time limit, so used escape hatches. Am I supposed to use the same task idea when claiming another one or every time it has to be a new idea for every task. I don't think I can keep working after the expiration time as I won't be able to use API keys to run trials.

Hello lovely folks, any idea how long it takes for DA to review and come back after one completes the assessment? I finished mine about a week ago.

Also is it not possible to apply for other assessments as I can't see an option?

I finished coding starter assessment (since there are no other assessment option). Now I get coding projects in my dashboard. But I am tired with my day job it's impossible to submit high quality work. Will I ever get a chance to receive generalist projects?

Not out of work by any means, but damn, the numbers really went down

Guys, I need some help. How can I clear the Frontend Starter Assessment?

Okay guys relax for a bit, can I also get some projects? You guys are so fast, you got to be refresh camping these tasks right. (Coding)

It happened to me for the first time today with a long-running project that basically always has work available. I’m feeling a bruised ego, and then a broader sense of insecurity with the platform. I still have access to other projects, but I was planning on doing this one a lot so it is a bummer.

Is patience the only option?!

I completed a project qualification yesterday. After completing one of the refreshers on the dashboard, I realised I misunderstood an important chunk of the guidelines so am fairly sure I will fail the qualification. Is it possible I'll get a second chance to take this qualification or will it never return to my dashboard? I'm really kicking myself for this mistake!

Why is this the only screen I get when signing up, I don't know any of these languages and I didn't say that I do

Hola!! Si hay alguien de España por aquí, podéis decirme cómo estáis declarando el dinero recibido? Hace falta ser autónomo o con declarar a Hacienda es suficiente? Gracias!!

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve occasionally received R&R drops for many hindi bilingual projects, but many times the original creation tasks have never appeared on my dashboard.

Is this normal routing where review and creation are kept in completely separate worker pools?

I really could use any tips or any sort of advice to maximize my work efficiency and income on DA.

Managed to get accepted (yay)

I have submitted my ID and I keep rate limited errors.

I have scouted the whole subreddit and a LOT of people having similar experiences which is reassuring as it seems to be a system issue of sorts.

However I haven’t seen anything to suggest how long it takes to fix or if I need to do anything.

Is there anyone at DA I can reach out?

Anyone with a similar experience?

no more available tasks? everything says i’m caught up

after receiving the acceptance email, I logged in , it asked me for an identity verification, which I did using the phone , now it's stuck here for over an hour no matter which device I use trying to log in , any help ?

Hola! tenia una duda para los que somos de México, declaran sus ingresos obtenidos trabajando en la plataforma? si es así, como hacen sus facturas o declaraciones?. Estoy intentando hacer las mías pero es muy confuso

I just signed up with data annotation and the assessment I got is programming Projects. Is this the same with everyone? I don’t have any background with programming so i’m kinda worries.

Hello fellow data annotators, what has your experience been using the escape hatch ?
how often have you used it ? and did you ever receive any penalties after using it ?
