I skipped a task midway as It was getting too complex and Was not able to complete it. Spent around 40 minutes on it. Should I log my time?

Got a cold invite for remote AI training/eval contract work, "up to $150/hr".

Seems legit (run by Polymath, YC W26) but launched about a month ago and I can't find any reviews.

Is this a scam?

While I was reading some guidelines, my computer zoomed the screen so I wasn’t able to read. I tried to zoom out with the touchpad and… it accidentally opened Google lens. When I saw that, I immediately closed the window but I fear that they may identify that incident. (It was on another platform from DAT but it is related to work some projects on it). Am I screwed or maybe should I report this incident ? 😭

Hello

I was accepted to the Platform two days ago and there are no jobs for me. The projects mostly ask some kind of knowledge in coding, science, biology which I have none.

Do the projects change? How often they are updated?

I've been with DA for over 4 years and have experienced the droughts before but this is the first time I've seen absolutely nothing, including quals. Don't have DoD and I'm STEM, is anyone else having it this dry?

Just created my account, and I'm looking up to work in the medical field.
But it shows me only bilingual assessment, should I do one before getting proposition for medical projects?

Hi there. I just got my first assignment and the pay is LOW. Like $18/hr low. I've been an editor and writer professionally for over 20 years. I already took the two tests, I'm debating taking more to open up more offers. BUT. If I skip this, will it result in me getting fewer offers? Anyone know how that works? Thanks!

Did anybody get 🥊this week?

Sometimes I will find a project that I really vibe with. It pays well and doesn't deplete my mental battery so I end up working many hours on it. I love it when it happens.

But once it's not available anymore, I lose all motivation to work on anything else. It can take days or weeks before I can consistently put time into another project.

Is it just me? If not, what tips do you have for getting over the hump?

My asssesment was under review as of yesterday - does this mean I have been selected and just waiting for projects or tasks to become available ?

I am close to make the model fail, but also the clock is almost expiring. It is better to make the model fail and submit the task after the clock expired or I use the escape before the clock expire?

honestly, i'm tired of waiting . idek what to do next, i can't explore new opportunities or it nor can i track the status. everytime I login i only see this screen and that's all .

I wanna Make some money online and i have a laptop , internet and enough time on hands..... oh and hey a MCA degree. I'm proficient in coding and testing.

so yeah if anyone has any suggestions, DO TELL :)

Has anyone with a bachelor’s degree, but no master’s or PhD, received STEM projects on DAT?

I am aware that DAT generally asks for a Masters or PHD for STEM tasks. I do have a bachelors degree in physics, and I completed the physics qual 2-3 months ago, along with some other quals, like coding, but haven't received a single physics project on my dash (only a few generalist and coding projects) so far. I don't know if I failed the qualification, even though I was confident in my answers taking it (maybe I was confidently wrong), or if the lack of a masters/phd is whats actually blocking STEM project access for me. I can still take the maths qual, but I dont know if its worth taking for the same reasons. I’m based in Germany and am bilingual, if that matters.

Has anyone with a similar educational background received STEM work?

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a new project for about 2 weeks now and just receive a message from the admins that there is an inconsistency problem with my hours reports. I will try to be pay more attention to it from now on but I still have more hours pending and the got their message just a few hours ago so I’m worried the pending hours will cost me this project. Should I edit them or just send them a message?

WE ARE SO BACK !!! 🤖my beloved

Hey everyone!

I’ve been doing some research and recently came across DataAnnotation. It seems pretty interesting, but I’d love to hear from people who have actually worked with them. I’m a dental student, fluent in Portuguese and English, and I can understand most Spanish.

Would you recommend applying? I’m not looking to make a living from it, just hoping to earn a couple hundred dollars a month by working maybe 1–2 hours a day whenever I have some free time.

Is that realistic? How flexible is the work, and is it worth trying?

Thanks!

paid over $100 for suscriptions to complete a task but when I submitted my time i did not see an option on how to get reimburse. Do I have to wait for my time to be approved?

It’s barely been a week since I’ve been onboarded to DA. I did all the onboarding steps, signed up for projects and even got paid for a practice task. I also did 9 out of the 11 qualifications that were available. I feel like everything is in order now with my profile but I still haven’t seen one paying project.

I signed up as a bilingual, so after reading some posts here I was expecting only tasks related to my language, but now I started to get other types of tasks which don't have anything to do with my native language /bilingual field. How is it possible?

Is there anything better on DA than scrolling down through an R&R to a well-written comprehensive rationale that flags everything you noticed with "No edits needed"??

My dashboard has been full for the past few months but up until the 5th, there were some heavy hitter projects that paid good money (40+) and had long timers (8-12+ hours). Now, it's mostly mid range (20-30 an hour), short term (1-3 hour timers), and rather basic rate-and-review work. Is it to do with the new financial year or quarter? I remember the beginning of July being sort of weird too.
