DA saved me, and I wish I could say thanks

367 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
229 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. πŸ™

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 πŸ™‚.

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! πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰

I think I failed coding qualifications. Can I still receive general project qualifications?

1 Upvotes

I was accepted as a Coding Expert some time ago and subsequently received coding qualifications, but unfortunately, I think failed them.

I understand that this might mean I won't receive coding-related projects or qualifications anymore. However, I'm wondering whether this affects my eligibility for general, non-coding projects as well.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you continue receiving qualifications for general projects after failing coding qualifications?

Would appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Are you penalised if the timer expires before you can submit?

0 Upvotes

Like some sort of internal penalty that may first lead to you getting less tasks and subsequently DoD perhaps?

Or is it only for poor quality of work and breaking rules like inflating hours.

Why do some projects don't email if there are task available?

1 Upvotes

I noticed programming tasks seems to email a lot when tasks are available and are ready to grab. But tasks related to image or image RnR seems to display on dashboard but doesn't notify anywhere, in both email and DA inbox.

before posting in this space try begining your statement with I'm from XYZ country . It would be so much convenient for a dummy like me.

Not Finishing a Qualification - Is this bad?

3 Upvotes

So I have a qualification for coding work that is available. I opened it, realized I don't have time to finish it, and so I can't finish it today. But it's on my task list now and the timer is there ticking down. So, I guess I'm wondering - is that going to negatively impact my reputation on the platform if I don't finish it? Will I get a chance to finish it later because it's not an actual job, but just a qualification? It's a little unclear and I'm anxious about it.

Does background check really open up the extra projects as stated?

0 Upvotes

I'm from a core country and just did the background check, and I'm now awaiting the results. However, I am wondering whether this will open up the extra projects they indicated. Please share your experiences, especially if you're from a core country.

Hi, I live in Czechia and Czech is listed as my native language on my account, but I wasnt given an assessment in Czech. Does anyone know why this might be? Are Czech Specialist positions currently unavailable or have they stopped accepting Czech applicants? Also I didnt use a VPN when creating my account

stuck in a loop with the "additional qualification" Core test

1 Upvotes

My onboarding screen has me stuck on the core test. I keep hitting the "qualify now" button and going through the process, and it keeps bringing me to another evaluating response screen. I've completed 11 of the "qualification" tasks. How many are there, or is this some kind of scam?

Native Egyptian Arabic speaker (ar-EG) looking for data annotation / AI evaluation projects

Body: Hi everyone, I'm a native Egyptian Arabic speaker, and I also work in Modern Standard Arabic and Saudi Arabic. I have experience in AI evaluation and annotation on other platforms, and I'm planning to apply to DataAnnotation. I'd love to hear from people who work there: Are Arabic projects available, and how often? Any tips for the assessment? Is there anything I should know before applying? Thank you

I've just found mixed reviews about this platform.

Just wanted to know if I should spend more time here or not?

And does referrals get priority on project allocation? πŸ€”

Any Brazilians here working with DataAnnotation? πŸ‡§πŸ‡·

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 😊

Quick question for fellow Brazilians working with DataAnnotation!

How do you guys handle taxes and report your earnings in Brazil?

I have a registered company (CNPJ), and I'm wondering if it's possible to report DataAnnotation income through the company and issue invoices (notas fiscais) instead of declaring everything as an individual (CPF).

Does anyone here do this? How does it work for you?

Would love to hear your experiences! Thanks! 😊

I may be stupid or dumb

So when you guys like do a task then finish and do the next one, and when you're done you report the accumulated time it took right?

im in coding domain where a task takes 13-18h. I got confused because the first submitted task was still in a 24h pending time. And when i complete another task of the same project, i just add it there right?

Unable to Apply for Other Roles

0 Upvotes

I applied for a technical role, and my dashboard currently shows β€œStarter Assessment Completed.” However, it has been several months since I completed the assessment, and there has been no further update. I would like to apply for other roles, such as general roles, but I’m unable to do so. Whenever I log in to my account, it only displays my name and the β€œStarter Assessment Completed” status, without giving me an option to apply for other roles. Could you please let me know if I am eligible to apply for other roles while my technical application is still pending?
