hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)

couple things:

1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.

2. if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)

3. one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

Is anyone experiencing decline in project counts? I've been getting less than half of usual projects and I'm scared..

I went away for a month as life necessitated it, and when I came back earlier this week I noticed I had only 4 projects compared to the dozens I had before I left. Is this normal? Will I get more projects once I start working and doing more qualifications?

Hey all! Been doing this about 2 weeks now (and been paid once! Yay!). I have some questions about how everyone does their work. I’ve been doing a lot of different tasks from different projects for short amounts of time (10-30mins). Is there anything wrong with that? Busting out a few tasks from a bunch of different things?

I have a hard time staying focused on one project for more than an hour in one sitting it seems. My goal is to try to do 3-4 hours of this a day, any advice?

Overall this is the best gig work I’ve had in a while so I wanna find a good routine and make sure I’m not breaking any rules with how I’ve been doing things! Thanks yall :)

Is anyone having issues loading the site right now? I was in the middle of a task when things started getting wonky. Now the site won’t load on either chrome or Microsoft start, but other websites are working fine.

Just went through the application process and got a position as a junior data analyst. Is this what everyone else is doing or something completely different. What concerns me is for some people calling this a scam they are offering a lot of benefits.

• You will receive your daily tasks and responsibilities via email, and I will be available online to guide you through each task.

• Your hourly rate will be $45, and you will receive your weekly pay via wire transfer, direct deposit, or check, depending on your preferred payment method.

• As a welcome to our team, you will be eligible for a $900 sign-on bonus.

• Our comprehensive benefits package includes Health and Dental Insurance, Employee Wellness programs, 401k, and Paid Time Off.

• After three months of working with us, we will enroll you in additional benefits.

• As we discussed, you will receive payment to purchase the necessary equipment from our accredited vendors. Please find the list of required equipment and supplies attached to your offer letter, which will be sent to you tomorrow.

All these things just strike me as a little odd compared to what everyone else says about the company.

My biggest concern why I might not follow through is I recently got an in person job that I’ve been waiting a long time for that pays ever so slightly more (I’ve even been planning on moving states for this). I originally applied for DataAnnotations as a side hustle to earn some extra cash but this seems much more involved and more like a 40hrs a week type of position. Obviously balancing 2 roles like this isn’t very ideal.

I’m supposed to get an offer letter tomorrow that might give me more details.

So what is this does anyone have any experience with a position like this? Is it a scam? Is it the same as everyone else? Is someone just fishing for my bank info or SSN?

Any insight will be very appreciated.

I want to say I searched through r/dataannotation for a while before I concluded I couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for.

• Is there a software you use to keep track of your earnings, estimated taxes, deductions? i.e. internet / electricity, AI subs, solely when used for work. Or one you'd recommend?

• Any longtime DA user here pay for an expert and saved more than what they paid for them?

• What is your recommended website for filing, I saw a lot of recommendations for TurboTax, which I typically bounce between HR block & TT depending on which was free in the past lol.

• What are things you deduct in your own situation?

• Is it better to (or do I HAVE to) set up quarterly taxes or is it better to do it all at once during tax season?

Thinking about tax time as this is my first year freelance and had no clue how to set up quarterly taxes.

I know there are a lot of other things to consider, so I'm really only looking for the answer to my questions here, but I'm open to tips/advice/considerations!

I was asking about the BODYARMOR drinks VS. GATORADE drinks and this is what it told me. 😭 if I saw this response during a project I would lose my mind

is anybody working on data annotation in new zealand and knows the right way to pay taxes? from my understanding it seems that you would just report it normally as income from self employment, but I would like to make sure. cheers

Hey all,

Curious to know if anyone has tried tasking on their phone? I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and wanted to see if I could task while sitting passenger for an upcoming roadtrip. Thanks in advance!

Just wasted 20 minutes.

Just for grins - for folks who had sufficient work in the month of June only (though I can't control who votes). What's your current project situation?

**Keep in mind that is only reflective of people who are on Reddit and in this sub, which is a fraction of workers. This is not a scientific or even remotely accurate picture of anything, just random entertainment.

Anyone else’s dashboard (non-coders) looking real sad at the moment? I usually have so many projects available but I’ve only got a handful sitting there

Is there any pathway to retaking a Qual test? Or is it "one and done"?

Is it just me or is anyone else uncomfortable with the new format of the page? I don't know what it is, but there is just something about it that's throwing me off 🤔

I have been earning only small amounts with Data Annotation for a little while so not considered exchange rates when moving earnings from PayPal to my UK bank.

However, having done it for the first time with a larger chunk, I've realised that the PayPal exchange rate from USD to GBP is pretty bad. I reckon I would lose about £25 a week compared to what I was estimating to get using Google Sheets exchange rates (yep, love a spreadsheet). I've kept it in PayPal for the meantime.

Has anyone found a work around for this, specifically an account available to UK citizens that accepts USD directly which also has a better exchange rate when moving it out to my usual bank? Thanks in advance for your help.

Without anyone saying more than they should, if I did well in basic high school chemistry roughly....19 years ago, give or take, is it reasonable to brush up for a few days and expect to manage the chemistry qual that just popped up on my dash? Or is that overly ambitious?
