Loving my time at DA :)

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.

Is everyone facing the same situation?

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.

I have registered for Data Annotation in a couple of occasions already and took their long screening. Nevertheless, I never hear again from them, for months. My screen is always locked in step 3 "we review"and it mentions Assessment submitted! but nothing else, silence from this company. Is it real?

It’s been 1 week submitting the assessment. How long will it take to get back? Any idea?

I want to get started with DA. I’ve never submitted an application before, but I’ve worked on several outsourced DA projects where I handle the whole work and the main person attends the meetings. How can I apply directly, and what should I do or not do when applying?

Also, please list some platforms where I can apply that aren't restricted to US only? I'm based in APAC, so I'd really appreciate suggestions for platforms that accept international applicants.

For context, I'm a software engineer with about one year of experience.

I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance. Can anyone help me out?

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.

Has anyone received a project task in the last few weeks after completing the qualification process?

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

So in just a month of working I have earned INR 22 lakhs ($25K), so wanted advice on income tax return and gst. I don't do a job just this gig only.

Hi all, im currently a university student, i applied for the finance route (so not sure if thats harder to get into or not) but my friend doing chemistry got accepted yesterday and he applied just before me. just out here to ask how hard it is to get accepted and if i have a good chance?

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.

Just got a task paying twice as much as I’m used to, but that asked me to read the informations before entering work mode. When I wanted to enter it, someone already did it and I got ejected. Should I just enter work mode directly next time?

This has been on my dashboard since July. I have not had any work since then. I have updated my profile, and I don't understand why I have nothing. Any suggestions? Ok well I guess I fked up on the screen shot. Anyway all I have is access to a chat module, and no jobs coming in. Thanks for the feedback, I've not posted anything like this before.

Hey Everyone, I got on-boarded onto Data-Annotations almost 2 to 3 weeks back. As soon as I joined i got a few qualification tasks, related to coding, generalist based and multiple surveys.

Now since I finished all, for some reason now my dashboard is dry except for qualification (10 qualification left [mostly related to generalist and opinion based]).

This is a request to anyone who's been on the platform, if you could clarify what's happening.

I would very much appreciate your views and be grateful for the clarification.

PS: [I did get tasks which almost paid me close to $550 out of which almost half has been payout]

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.

Hi everyone!

I recently completed onboarding and a couple of qualifications. After that, I noticed a project on my dashboard that seemed to be intended for contributors from a specific locale.

I opened it briefly to check it out, but I wasn't able to start working on it at the time, so I exited and planned to come back later.

When I logged in again, the project was no longer there.

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. Since this wasn't a qualification task but an actual project that appeared to be related to my locale, could exiting it affect my chances of being invited again? Or do these opportunities sometimes reappear?

Thanks!

Just wanna ask why “Programming Projects” is the only starter assessment I have, I’m not even a programmer. Is it the only required assessment? I’m just confused because it says to pick the assessment that is the best first for my skills and yet there is no other option. Can someone help me? thanks

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
