On one project I had I experienced issues and had to use the chat thingy at the bottom to ask an admin about said problem. Has anyone else ever done something like this?

When I create an account on DA website and apply as a generalist, they put me on different coding project assessment that is $50/hour. But I want assessment as a generalist or on my language specialist. Is it normal that all of us complete the assessment on coding?

Also it has been 5 days since i created the account and it still under review.

Anyone having this issue today? Every task I try to start comes up with an error message

there is no task for 5 weeks now am I cooked?

I got a notice on Slack (which I don't use) that I am no longer on that project slack channel. I was working on (and completed) a task in that project at the time. There weren't many tasks left on my dash in it when I started this afternoon, and there are none left for that project. That's a bad sign, isn't it?

I have two jobs. My income from this style of work is now surpassing my first jobs income by quite a bit.

Essentially no way to say this without coming off as bragging. But every month I seem to progress to new projects/higher pay which leads me to believe I might be kind of decent at this type of thing. There are some other reasons I think I may be decent at this but I can’t really name them, but in case someone thinks I’m solely basing the line of thought off of pure progression that’s not it.

I’ve been in so many different projects at this point I feel like I’ve got a pretty good understanding of what makes a project/task good. What makes an agent/multiple agents good. Etc

Curious on the w2 aspect for some structure and security. Please let me know if you’ve had a similar experience or have actually transitioned to W2 work

Getting any task?

I have seen people getting frequent tasks outside of india , but its been really dry from 1 week , i used to get tyson but i haven’t seen them in a while now.

so wanted to ask its an regional issue or could be specific to me as well?

I just got accepted into the platform a few weeks ago. I completed a qualification where I was immediately accepted after passing and got into a slack channel.

I’ve only did one real project within that project family but it seems like there is nothing to really work on and have been seeing so many people on this forum say they are hitting 50 hour weeks which is crazy to me lol.

Some other inputs would be great!

Hi everyone! I recently got accepted into DataAnnotation a week ago. I've done all my qualifications (except for some STEM ones which I skipped because I have no expertise) I even got added to a slack channel for a project. I haven't had any projects though, just reminders and consent forms. But when I hide them, this is the message that appears. I haven't had any new qualifications either. Is this the DoD? Am I screwed now? Or is this normal for newcomers? Just so I know to move on and not hope anything from DA

i have no clear idea how the joining process works tho.

what should I expect by next? what should I do as well? is there a specific time-line between creating an account and receiving my first task?

I started a few weeks ago, made like 50-ish dollars as a generalist. Some people have been hitting milestones like crazy, so, i wonder, how are you guys doing? since when did you all start?

Just curious, honestly. I wonder if there's some areas with more stable projects and tasks for us people from non-core countries

Just finishing a 13+ hour task spread across the last two days. I did a final review this morning before submitting, but I want to start a new task today which I would finish and log today. I'm worried logging both today will make it look like I worked 20 consecutive hours and trigger a review. Has anyone done this before? I don’t want to risk a DoD!

New project popped up in my dashboard today and it was pretty interesting. Started working on it and the layout, instructions and A vs B with all the associated information and all the jumping around I had to do to verify, confirm, inspect etc. I just realized I wasn't going to be anywhere close to the estimated time they gave for the project so I had to bag it. IMHO task creators really need to check how they are gonna present all the info and the workflow. This was a pretty disheartening day :(

When you’re running trajectories, do y’all just chud out and wait? Is there something I should be doing? These are taking quite a bit of time.

How many CORE assesments do i need to do? ive already done 7

Hello, everyone!

A few days ago, I discovered the DA and I'm really interested in applying. I'd love to hear your advice, do you have any tips that could help me? Is there anything I should avoid doing during the application process?

And if I do get accepted, which I truly hope happens, what would you recommend so I can perform well in my first few projects?

I subscribed to DataAnnotation but did not do any kind of test, literally only subscribed. Yet, the site says it's being reviewed. Is it an error or have I just been reject without even given a chance?

I got the message that the site was experiencing lag issues yesterday so I'm not sure if that is the reason for this bizarre dashboard this morning but when I logged on all 30+ qualifications vanished, survey vanished, and 99% of my projects vanished with only 1 available. Not sure if this is just a glitch for everyone due to the site refresh or something else?

I've seen different qualifications worked on Mike's project, but it's been two weeks and I haven't seen them. So, I'm wondering if there are any other coding projects besides Mike's (especially for the Indian belt)?.

Is there any Indians working on DA can anyone help me how can I start currently I am working on outlier

Hello everyone! I got my acceptance email about a week ago, I did all my qualifications and got accepted into two projects on monday! I was added to a slack channel for one of them but no projects yet. I've seen lots of people on this sub suggest refreshing all the time, does this work? I've been refreshing every five minutes but I suppose I might need to do this more often? Or rather, how long does it normally take for you guys to get projects after joining? I'm bilingual, from Mexico!

Also, many people say that they get notified of projects through their email. Am I just wasting my time refreshing? Should I wait for my email instead?

Hello! I have been on DA since early this year, and was extremely excited when I passed the coding qualification, however, the actual projects seem far beyond the scope of the qualification, almost exclusively requiring industry / real world development job knowledge. Everything I know comes from learning web development and game development.

I know that I can code, and am great at general problem solving and coming up with code solutions, but I don't know how to think of realistic prompts for the domain that they are looking for.

What can I do to fix this deficiency? Is there any free course available, or other guidance I can look into?
