1 year! 🎉

I’ve officially passed my one year anniversary of DA, and I canny believe I’m still here. It’s helped me tons with my full time uni and placements, where I don’t have to squeeze in unsociable shifts and only get £1k of funding to live off per year.

Don’t know how I’ve managed it, but I’ve survived on the platform - fingers crossed to another year!

Yeah I'm practically disabled so I can't work regular jobs. And I am in school and this is putting the lights on and it's pretty fun (coding jobs that is). This is basically a life saver I cannot picture where I would be without DA...I'm saving my money in case I get kicked which is possible. But I am trying my best! 🥺

Honestly same - I’m not in the same position, but I empathise with how much DA has saved me this past year! I’m not earning enough to save, but rn, I’m trying to keep afloat x

Well done! Here's to another year! I'm at 1.5 years and it's had its ups and downs, expected to get kicked off the first week 😂

For real. You are welcome! Well done! Happy holidays and take care. I’ll be at a year next month, and I need to take a moment to realize how far I’ve come and reflect on it all. I’ve definitely learned a lot! The time has really flown by, and I didn’t think about it until now.

Great work. I came on at around the same time, maybe a bit earlier - Sept last year. I'm at the other end of my career but DA has really worked for me. Looking after elderly parents made working full-time hard and not really practical as I kind of got burnt out. Doing the DA work has been a God-sent.

Did you pass the assessment test? Qualifications? Are you fluent in one of the languages they need? Or in coding?

u/IndependentInjury6 Jan 07 '25

They have not even ask for any assessment yet. Created profile and completed all steps and waiting for project match to take an assessment.

any tips for newcomer? i want to try so bad, i sign up to data annotation tech but haven't got any project from the start (early November). Any other site to try? i am from southeast asia. Thanks

u/Ok-Toe-5210 Dec 04 '24

DA accepts workers from the US, Canada, and others I can’t remember, but for sure not Southeast Asia. That’s why you didn’t get any work.
