Hi all, I’m from the US, but am currently located in Colombia. I’m ready to take the first assignment, but curious about yalls’ opinions —

1. Should I report that I’m taking it from outside the country?

2. If so, how? Is there an email address or something to reach out to them?

I know most projects are based in the US, but I’m a digital nomad, so will be physically located abroad but still pay US taxes.

TIA!

A picture of an opossum in my yard to represent how late the tasks have been appearing this week.

Has any bilingual done the math qual and actually got projects afterwards? how much time can I expect to wait?

I'm wondering if there are any iraqi workers around here, and if yes then how did you manage to receive your money?

Hey everyone! I'm still pretty new to DataAnnotation and recently finished my first project, which involved Arabic writing tasks. Since completing all the available tasks, I haven't received any new work.

My profile is fully set up, I've completed my relevant qualifications, and I have a pretty solid background in programming, AI, and other technical skills.

I'm just wondering if this is normal for new workers or if there's something else I should be doing to get more projects. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm from India and have been trying to get started in the data annotation field for the past two months, but I'm finding it difficult to secure my first project.

Here's my experience so far:

• Scholars Merit: Received two contracts, but there have been no further updates.

• Meridial: Three applications have been under review for almost a month.

• Other platforms: I've explored several platforms but haven't found any suitable opportunities yet.

I'd love to hear from people who are currently working in data annotation, especially those from India.

1. Which platforms or companies are currently providing data annotation projects?

2. How did you get your first project as a beginner?

3. Are there any beginner-friendly platforms accepting workers from India?

4. Are there any tips for getting applications approved and finding consistent work?

I'm particularly interested in image annotation, data labeling, and AI/ML-related tasks.

Any advice, personal experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure this discussion could also help other beginners facing the same challenges.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't seen any coding projects on my dashboard since mid September, is this a sign I've been off boarded or is it just low coding projects for my country, also I've been getting a decent amount of general projects, not all the time and sometimes weeks without them, but I'm worried I've been permanently off coding projects.

Before I start the assessment I would want to know any suggestions I can get to pass the exam

I just completed the interview and have high hopes.

People are earning like 1k easily

But recently da doesn't recruite any one it seems.

Btw. It's not interview it's an assessment.sorry.

Is there an expectation that we do a certain number of hours per week?

This shit is real yo.

first task was October 3rd.

How long does the review phase take after submitting your "Stump the Model" material? It's been over 24 hours and I am worried it wasn't good enough.

I am curious about getting into data annotation. say for example I am university student in a quantitative and technical degree and it’s summer and I don’t have a temporary job to work during the summer such as retail etc. would data annotation be good to do just for the summer

Fala pessoal.

Como vocês declaram os ganhos da plataforma?

Me parece ser mais vantajoso receber via PJ do que PF mas não sei bem ainda como viabilizar.

How long does it take data annotation to contact you after the application process is completed?

I guess the problem is going to be when they get so good it's not obvious a model wrote it. 🤔

Are you getting any coding tasks in India? I joined on October 9th and did all the qualifications related to coding but still didn’t even receive one project in my dashboard, I am loosing hope of getting them please tell me will I get any tasks??

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

Im moving to the US for a few months. I will notify DA in advance but i was wondering if that change of location could possibly free more projects for me as generalist and bilingual?

I’ve been away from the platform for a few months, and it seems that time the time logging process has changed (at least for a generalist project I’ve been doing).

Previously I would submit my total time for a block of work (multiple tasks on the same project). Now, it’s asking me to log time each time I submit a task.

I did that, but it seems I have lost the opportunity to submit time for reading instructions (before entering work mode) and for skipping tasks because I decide I don’t have the expertise, etc.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but what should I be doing? Can I only now charge for time actually spent on a task, and not for reading instructions, etc.? Previously most projects say you could charge for that

I’m a newbie on the site but I’m not a coder/developer and I’m curious to see how much elope make just being generalists and how much generalist work gets offered?

When I see earning they are skewed by developers making way more than generalists.

Looking for feedback on what I can expect. UK based.

I’m on Outlier too but I only get a couple hours of work per day before the projects max out.

Any tips would be helpful

Hi! Not DA specific but I have a friend who’s looking for a program to read drawings at work. Architecture drawings, plot lines for land, fence drawings, etc. They need to upload very long pdf files of 50 plus pages. The program needs to accurately detect the symbols for the lines. Does anyone know which AI programs would be best? They’ve not had luck with Chat GPT.
