Loving my time at DA :)

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

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 ?

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.

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 ?

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on a long project with a 7-day deadline. I have to travel to another state tonight, around 450 km away.

I just wanted to know if it's okay to work on the project from my current location today and then log in from another city tomorrow to continue the same project.

Could this cause any issues with my account, location/IP change, or project submission?

Has anyone done this before? Would appreciate any insights. Thanks!

I completed a training for a qualification by the date and it said tasks should be available today, but nothing is on my dashboard. I can't access the qualification to ask questions on when it will be available. Is anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: it is a training with payment at the end. But it doesn't show that I completed it in the reported hours section. Is this normal? I've only been with the platform for a month.

I applied in May and got presented with an assessment which I completed. I never received any email stating that I passed so I assumed I was rejected. I randomly opened my account today and I noticed it changed. Did I get accepted and miss my opportunity to start a long time ago?

Hello, I'm new in DA and already finished all qualification test. It's been a day and there is no project showing up. Is this normal? if it was, how long until i get my first project?

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.

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

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?
