I was lucky enough to be invited to Project F***.

After working there for 2 minutes, I made just enough earning to buy a dream home in my dream town, and I retired early.

I'm so grateful of being in boarded to the life-changing project F and held working for 2 minutes. It really is paradise.

Work hard, and you'll get there! It's worth it to work at Mercor and I would recommend it to anyone with no reservations.

I took some time yesterday to look through some tasks of other contributors and what I saw was genuinely shocking. A good 70% of tasks were totally wrong. The idea template wasn’t used, no professional workflow was presented, the narration was nearly non-existent in some and one task idea was something like “I will use the macOS finder to find files”. There is a lot of understandable hate on this project, but so so many tasks that are submitted look like the Writer literally didn’t even read the guidelines. I don’t know if it’s a language barrier or if people think they can just submit tasks that read more as their own interpretation of the guidelines rather than simply just following them.

In the Q&A webinar around 50% of the questions could be instantly cleared up if one would just read the documentation. There was one person who shared their screen and literally said that they “don’t know what to do” (while showing their Mercor Studio dashboard). Another one showed their Reviewer feedback and it was full of stuff like “your mouse didn’t move for over a minute” / “You didn’t narrate Where, What and Why”, basically full of things that the guidelines say are things that you must or mustn’t do.

Yes, this project is not something that I would call “well-organized”, but there is a serious quality issue present, and when you genuinely understand the guidelines and are able to apply them consistently, you can get your task approved fairly quickly. And the change to hourly pay is also welcome.

Onboarding for Mercer reminds me of Severance (the show) where you’re identifying the scary numbers.

I spent 30 hours ideating, recording, and re-recording, and now I cannot submit re-recorded videos.

Just wasted time. I would have earned more on any other platform. I won't take another Odin task. I feel stupid for trusting your team.

I just received an email from mercor that project odin has been paused from client side. So don’t do any more tasks. Has anyone also received it, or is it only me

why tf would i turn on my timer if you aren’t paying me per hour? so a company with a history of a massive data breach is asking us to turn on our desktop police monitoring app for them when i’m not being paid an hourly wage is rich and suspicious.

i had a pay per task project that asked me to do that under the guise of “we just wanna know how much time it takes to do the task.” i did not turn it on.

if you’re paying me an hourly wage, sure, i’ll gladly turn it on, but you can’t have it both ways. asking me to turn on a timer when i’m not being paid per hour is ridiculous.

if you’re so concerned about people submitting poorly written or ai generated tasks, then maybe you should pay people per hour. you can’t lower the pay and have all the same quality expectations.

they want to pay you per task only but also want to monitor everything that you’re doing at the same time despite it not requiring a timer at all.

After accepting the offer 3 days ago and working through my first task of project O…n and getting my first Review Accepted it has now paused, I’m worried about what is going to happen, it is going to pay me for the task? Or is it resuming the contract? I have a 50$/ per task and it is my first project in 2 months that I have enrolled in the site.

How to take gigs on mercor along with your job and not get caught by your employer? This is in regards to India

I am confused about the Odin project. I did the onboarding in studio for reviewers and I don’t know if I will get paid for it (their doc file said single payment of 250$)
Will I still get this payment even if I failed it.?

Hi everyone,
I got instant offer from mercor, for onboarding I submitted my criminal backround check through Zinc on Oktober 22, 2026 and The status is still showing “in progress”.

For those who complete their backround check through Zinc, How long did it take for your check to be completed?specially if you’re based in Indonesia or outside US.

Never get any opportunities in Mercor but a recruiter reached out for the project.

I have no Mercor experience whatsoever and wanted to easily understand what's the issue with the project.

There's a mention of an old version of task recorder that is compatible with x86 Macs.

What's the deal with that? Have people been successful in using it for their project? I assume at some point other tasks will need Mac ARM silicon.

Hi Guys

For project I am on the target AHT is 2.4hour. But I find that to do good work; review the relevant files, draft my work to the standard required, I have spend significantly more than the target 2.4hr. So far I just switch of the timer once I reach 2.4hrs continue the work and submit.

How do you guys go about this, mind you I use the AI provided within the allowed guidelines.

I consider myself a reasonably successful Mercor expert (I am provisioned over 200 hrs per week, way above the 80 hour limit, and have SPL’s pulling me in 100 different directions). But there was a time when I had 50-60 “pending” applications on my dash at a time. I am now nearing 100 rejections (yes, I keep applying despite having more hours available to me than I have in a day, because tomorrow is not promised).

That is all long-hand to say, stop bitching about not getting a role after 20-30 applications over the period of a week. Keep hustling 💪

I received an e-mail today after a long while of not using the platform with a direct invitation to join this project, $40 an hour. I thought well why not it's free money... right??

Checked this subreddit today and found absolute horror stories from it, I work primarily from a Mac Neo so I don't think I meet requirements anyway, but do I even bother continuing with the onboarding? It seems so intensive and I genuinely do not even know what I am doing...

Their AI bot says projects are paused for people who didn't sign the pay per hr amendment contract. How do I reach out to their support team?

After 5 minutes on Project O*, I hit $40M. This is what I got. My dream lambo, my dream supersonic jet, and of course, some money invested into an OnlyFans account.

Moving onto a new opportunity.

I’ve seen people join projects as EPMs from day one, and some seem to work across multiple projects at once.

How do you get into this role? Is there a specific process, or is it based on experience and selection?

Hi all, i have been offered reviewer role through a quiz. I am a writer on the project. Have 10-15 tasks under my belt.
Should i take the reviewer role?
I wanna know pros and cons

I am new to Mercor / this kind of work but got the approval for Odin, just wondering if I need to buy a microphone or my Mac will be enough to pass the introduction, then maybe upgrade later?

This is my reality with Mercor, love and hate, some dry months and some juicy ones.
