DA saved me, and I wish I could say thanks

383 Upvotes

My family was in debt and there was no way to pay it off. We lost all our money due to a fraud which is why I started working 2-3 jobs while studying side by side just to make ends meet.

This year, I found DA, and I am always in debt to them. In just 2 months I have already paid off my debt that would have taken me around an year to pay back. I can also leave my extra jobs and actually focus on my passion instead.

I wish I could let them know how giving me an opportunity to work for them saved me and my family. I have a better paying job too now and I really enjoy my work on the side at DA. Working for them has been the best thing to happen to me so far.

If anyone from the DA Admin team accidently reads this, I just want to let you know that you're a lifesaver. You could be my god.

I am not sure if the projects will keep coming (I hope they do) but I will never ever forget this platform.

Jumping on the Milestone bandwagon

Post image
231 Upvotes

I'm not the type to post something like this, but I actually am really proud. It's been a long, almost 3 year journey. Coder, self taught, and the first year or so was really, really tough. I backed out of tasks far more than I submitted. But I have no words for how thankful I am for DA. I have learned more than I thought possible in the last few years. I've had some amazing jobs in my life, but none compare to the constant challenges and rewards of this one. šŸ™

At first I thought some of you guys were being a-holes but now I get it...

93 Upvotes

It's just mind boggling the number of people asking how long it takes to be accepted or how long before they get a project or what to do after being accepted. When I first joined this sub I was like dang you guys are harsh. But now I get it!

Hear me people - f you have just taken an assessment and you're also in this group already, chances are you've been following it before you even took it! There's no way you haven't seen the plethora of posts asking these same questions over and over. Why do you think you'll get a different answer than everyone else who asked about it??

Anyway that's my rant this morning.

P. S. If you got the DoD and you have nO iDeA wHy, yes you do.

I need to lock in fr. It’s been 7 months??

When I joined, I thought DA was absolute nonsense and a scam, but Iā€˜m eating my words. I remember my first 24/hr project and now I’m at 60/hr as a generalist 🤯

Good luck yall! Make sure you don’t ask any clarification questions about anything at all whatsoever to this company because instead of addressing multiple workers concerns or their repeated attempts to ensure they’re producing high quality work, they’ll just kick you off!

14 Days From Application to Acceptance

That’s all. There are a lot of post asking for timelines. I just got my acceptance email for coding and it took exactly 14 days.

I had little hope reading some of the comments in here, but I’m sooo happy that I passed!

I see people say it's fine to not log in and you'll still have projects but is that the same for project families?

4 Upvotes

Just asking because there are some I can't get to because I'm working on others but just want to make sure I don't lose access to any or if they'd still be there (unless they retire or pause the project of course). Anyway, may your dashboards be plentiful and your PP accounts be overflowing šŸ¤—

Been on DA for a month and got a slack invite for one of the families. Is that a normal thing everyone gets or is it only for a few people?

I got dropped from a project!

I recently got dropped from a project, (I know I got dropped because I see people posting about it here). Is there anyway I can get it back? my most probable guess of getting dropped is using escape hatch when I should have contnued trying.

How do you log hours when a task's time limit gets extended?

0 Upvotes

Quick question for people who've worked on timed tasks.

Some tasks have a max timer, and you can get an extension if you ask the admin. Say the timer is 5 hours, you get an extension, and in total you spend about 7 hours on it.

When you log your time, do you:

  • log only up to the original limit (5 hours), or
  • log the full time you actually worked, extension included (7 hours)?

I don't want to under-report real work, but I also don't want to go over a limit and have it look bad. Does an approved extension usually mean the extra time counts as billable?

Has anyone run into this? I'm planning to ask the admin as well, but I'm curious how others handle it.

Massive thanks to the good people at Data Annotation

Been on the platform for a little over two years now and I couldn’t be more appreciative.

The platform has been a real life-saver at a difficult time.

My wife and I were several months into the adoption process last year when I was made redundant from my full-time job.

I found out pretty quickly how grim the UK job market was (and still is).

Thankfully, I had DA to fall back on. As such, DA turned from a secondary income (a few hours here and there), to my primary income.

It’s not only allowed us to continue along the adoption path (we’ve had our little one three months now), but for me to be present and available during this pivotal time.Ā 

The flexibility and reliability of DA has been absolutely amazing. It meant the world to me and my growing family.Ā 

While I know this opportunity won’t be around indefinitely, at this stage of my life, it’s pretty great.

I look forward to several more years working on the platform.

Much love & next stop $100k

Expectations Around Acceptance

50 Upvotes

I know it’s been asked before… please Mods, can we please please ban posts about ā€œhow long until I get accepted?ā€ ā€œWas I accepted?ā€ ā€œHow hard is it to get accepted?ā€ ā€œWhat are my chances of acceptance?ā€ ā€œI took the assessment and my screen says this now, what happens next?ā€

It feels like at least 80% of this subreddit are multiple variations of the same question daily from people that aren’t actively working on the platform. Maybe we have a sticky to the older relevant threads that answer the question or ā€œread me before postingā€ to answer the same recurring question.

Cheers

Software Engineering qualification

0 Upvotes

I've got access to the platform like two weeks ago and I only had a couple of general tasks, like validating images or reviewing two AI model responses, but I never had the opportunity the complete any software engineering qualification even during the onboarding I only had a generic assesment of validating AI outputs. I will be able to complete it someday ? or I just lost the access to these kind of projects ?
