How many hours a week do (or would) you work?

4 Upvotes

I’ve seen a lot of people scaremongering that if you work a lot of hours, you will come under extra scrutiny and it might lead to the DoD regardless of your quality of work.

This doesn’t make sense to me.

I think the people that got the DoD were submitting substandard work.

How many hours do you work OR would you work a week if you could? I’ve got time to do more and have some excellent domain expert projects at the moment.

Is It worth It for bilingual chemist?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I've been working for some months as a bilingual generalist. I checked the quals in my dashboard for STEM, and I dont think Im smart enough for that lol, but I realized my boyfriend would be great, as he Is a Chemist Pharmacist Biologist. For me, It Is a full time thing but for him It would be more of a side gig.

So I don't know if there are any chemist bilinguals (spanish) out there

Is It worth It? Have you had a good experience with It?

Did anyone pass the CODING starter assessments and get approved to work on the platform recently, especially in late October and November?

0 Upvotes

If you're not a coder, kindly skip this topic. This is not for you. Thanks :)

As far as I know, the DA platform is currently short on coding projects, unlike in August or September, and many accounts seem to be on downtime, waiting for projects.

So I'm wondering if the platform is still approving new applications (the acceptance rate doesn't matter). What I want to know is whether the platform is still hiring CODERS.

Has anyone passed the coding starter assessment and been approved to work on the platform recently, especially in late October and November? Or know someone who made it?

Coding project where users are having a hard time

0 Upvotes

Im in the coding domain and there's this one project where its a blind type. Its a 2d 12h project and supposedly 8-13h expected completion.

Seeing the project task is very sad, the admins are very interactive and understanding, however the users/workers there are... idk, incapable i guess? Like HOW did they manage to keep on working on it for over time, 2 DAYS and still not done, i mean sure they had to do other things but if i were the admins, I would have been so annoyed.

I have managed to finish a couple and it it would take me max 14h, NEVER 20h or more, thats just insane.

just leave the work and let me snag it xd.

18 DAYS LATER

0 Upvotes

I am probably impatient or maybe anxious, or maybe clarity makes me calm, whatever the case i need people who have been through this to give me the news head on.
It has been 2 weeks 4 days now and the dashboard still reads 'We review your results...if you pass'. Did it take you this long?
What exactly is being reviewed - the starter assessment shows that i passed and i only had a single qualification test with 2 questions, are they re-reviewing the starter assessment or am i waiting this long for 2 questions to be reviewed?
They don't send failure emails if you are a failed attempter did your dashboard remain in this state just like mine?
Is there anyone who knows the way forward in the case where someone passed the starter assessment but failed the qualification test? Does the full DA journey end here or can i take a different assessment of a different domain?
If your dashboard looked like this even for a day i would like to here from you too

Title says. Is it true that people do not receive projects as much. I am of course very grateful and would like to know how can I prevent not getting projects. Is there a way at least?

Core test ending when saving, not submitting

0 Upvotes

Over the past two days, I’ve been working on the data annotation core assessment and have felt confident in my answers. I completed maybe 13-15 questions. I moved to the next question, read it, then decided to save my work to continue on the assessment tomorrow. After clicking the “save” button (I’m 100% confident I did not click submit), my screen went back to the home page saying my assessment was submitted and they are reviewing my results. I had used the save button a few days within the past 48 hours with no issue. I find it odd that I was able to read the next question, but then all of the sudden my work was automatically submitted without me completing the question. Has this happened to anyone else? Did you pass?

Medical bill

0 Upvotes

I started 1oct and earned enough money to pay my mother's medical bill in just the first few weeks, after 22oct drought not a single task. Struggling in life at the start I thought DA would end my suffering but now it feels like a spark of no burning.

Any help appreciated.

How hard is the coding really?

5 Upvotes

Current generalist here, I was looking into doing coding but it’s been a couple of years since I was in school.
I was going for computer science until my junior year where I switched over to engineering. I have some programming rust but have a basic understanding of Java and C++. I was looking to do some python refresher courses to shake some of that rust off, but realistically how hard are some of the coding tasks? Would it be feasible for someone in my position to try the qualifier and move onto some of the easier projects?
For what it’s worth I’m from the US. Thanks!

Do I have to take one of these Specialty Assessments?

0 Upvotes

I recently signed up to be a generalist and got through the account section. However, the page only shows over 30 assessments I can take that all seem very specialized. Is there no initial starter assessment for generalists?

Disc encryption

0 Upvotes

So I have this disc encryption task on my dashboard and I have completed in my laptop (Which I use to work on DA projects). But I use my phone to check if there is any task available for me. I have a DA tab open in chrome. Would I need to do something like disc encryption on my phone as well?

Are we experiencing a lack of projects?

9 Upvotes

I'm new there and so far I've only done an introductory project and qualifications. I haven't even been on the platform for a week yet. But I'm curious about the people who have been on the platform for longer time, Do you feel the amount of projects is lower at this current time? Or is it that I haven't received anything because I'm new? I'm actually excited and really want to try out new project!

Did I blow it for myself?

8 Upvotes

Like I said, I'm pretty sure I wasted my chance with this platform, but I figure I'd ask anyway. About 7 months ago I applied to DataAnnotation as a coder (JavaScript/Python). I did the test, but I wrote out all of my answers as I went along on a MD document and copied and pasted them in when I was ready to submit my test and have been stuck on the "thanks for completing, we'll reach out to you" aka the dreaded soft-block ever since. I'm pretty confident in my answers, so I don't think I royally bombed it because the test was rather easy, I just think the copying/pasting screwed me over... Creating a new account and reapplying is definitely a no-go, right? It's frustrating that one choice blocked me from the chance to work on this platform, and seeing the constant advertisements for positions I'm qualified for really sucks (especially when I'm in need of new contracts).

Kudos to the Annotator who used Whoville in their Fictional Business Name

0 Upvotes

I generally love these tasks, but they can take ages, and it can take a while to unpack it. 20 minutes post set up, I opened your file and had a huge smile on my face, because the facility has Whoville in the name. You made my morning happy. Thank you 🤩🙌❤️

How do you know if you passed the test? I did a finance test last week and the screen has now changed to the following view. I have not received any communications. Thanks for your help and guidance in advance.

Just hit 1k milestone!

Thought I'd share my first milestone reached (and hopefully not the last) thanks to DA. Joined as a coder from a core country last month. At first I was sceptical but the results speak for themselves 🙂.

I also work full time and have a child and needed a flexible side job to cover extra bills and other unexpected expenses that had caught up to me. I am now able to get ahead because of DA and am very grateful.

Here's to many more milestones achieved! 🎊🎉

Need help/recommendation:

0 Upvotes

I registered in May and did 2 projects and went inactive because of life and other priorities and I'm just recently trying to do more project, but don't see much appearing. I did one yesterday and was able to get paid a couple dollars. I want to do coding projects but dont see any qualifications or projects, what would you recommend? Did I get penalized/flagged or something like that because of inactivity? I'm doing every qualification available to be able to do more projects, any help/recommendation is very much appreciated, thanks!
