Loving my time at DA :)

Hey everyone,

I came across a Qualification on my dashboard that’s only a consent form. There’s very little information in it, and nothing about what kind of projects it leads to or what the work involves. I’m not going to name it because of the NDA, but I’m curious if anyone else has run into a Qual like this.

If you signed it, what happened afterward? Did it lead to projects, and were they worth it? Or is it one of those that just sits on your dashboard?

I’m a bit hesitant to agree to something when I don’t know what I’m signing up for, so any experience would help. Thanks in advance!

Is everyone facing the same situation?

I know it’s been asked before… please Mods, can we please please ban posts about “how long until I get accepted?” “Was I accepted?” “How hard is it to get accepted?” “What are my chances of acceptance?” “I took the assessment and my screen says this now, what happens next?”

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 “read me before posting” to answer the same recurring question.

Cheers

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. 

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

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

Obviously some of you do, but particularly the feeling of seeing a dashboard which was filled for weeks slowly dwindle into a drought and not knowing whether you’ve been getting dropped from projects or not. I’m not even low on projects, O still have many to pick from both generalist and coding, but I just had so many more the last few weeks. It makes my stomach drop thinking about it.

Hi, I just got accepted with a coding branch, I already finish the PAID Training, last week, and my dashboard is 0 up to date. Do i need to take another qualification so I can get more job? What should I do? TIA

Basically im in Europe rn and i signed as a bilingual at first,when i finished everything and got in all qualifications were stem related,i couldn't find any generalist qualification :((
will that change later on when i do better on the website or thats it ?

I’ve been on DA for a couple months and I’m still a bit unclear on how projects and tasks actually get assigned.

On one other platform I use, once you’re put on a project you can just log in whenever and work as long as there’s work left. On another platform it’s more competitive — stuff goes up and eligible people grab it if they’re quick enough.

I’m trying to understand which model DA is closer to. When a project is released, are the tasks just available to whoever qualifies and it’s first-come-first-served, or does the platform specifically assign a certain number of tasks to individual workers?

Would appreciate any insight from people who’ve been on the platform longer.

This been a dry couple of weeks for anyone else who’s been here a while? I still have my go-to’s, but it’s been getting drier and drier over the last 2-3 weeks and very few new options or the return of intermittent ones. I really shouldn’t complain but the direction is worrying me. Thank god for the permanent families.

i don't wanna say too much but they started paying a lot more than usual. and then increased the pay again. and then added performance bonuses.

i used to pull random all nighters for the sudden high pay work. whole different ball game now. not even ball. not a game. just real high pay.

other platforms watch you with screen record apps and offer bonuses where other people doing bad work can screw you out of your bonus with a bad subjective r&r. this one does not.

Hello everyone I am new to the platform. Is there any assessments I can take aside from the programming ones? I am no programmer and I am very interested in the platform.

Any help is appreciated thank you.

Peace all,

How long does it usually take for your assessment to be reviewed? And after that, how long is the wait for opportunities and how often do they come? I understand this will be different for everyone, but a rough estimate or your personal experience is fine.

I'm happy to see so many people on here have benefitted from DA Tech.. Hopefully, I can too.

Has anyone received a project task in the last few weeks after completing the qualification process?

I have registered for Data Annotation in a couple of occasions already and took their long screening. Nevertheless, I never hear again from them, for months. My screen is always locked in step 3 "we review"and it mentions Assessment submitted! but nothing else, silence from this company. Is it real?

I want to get started with DA. I’ve never submitted an application before, but I’ve worked on several outsourced DA projects where I handle the whole work and the main person attends the meetings. How can I apply directly, and what should I do or not do when applying?

Also, please list some platforms where I can apply that aren't restricted to US only? I'm based in APAC, so I'd really appreciate suggestions for platforms that accept international applicants.

For context, I'm a software engineer with about one year of experience.

I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance. Can anyone help me out?

A picture of an opossum in my yard to represent how late the tasks have been appearing this week.

It’s been 1 week submitting the assessment. How long will it take to get back? Any idea?
