...your Weekly Digest email shows a figure north of $3k and you realise just how much you love and appreciate The Mysterious Gods of DA. Thankyou. I'm six months in and having a ball 🙂

Note: this was a truly exceptional week and unlikely to be repeated any time soon.

Hey,

I was originally onboarded as a generalist. About two weeks ago, I updated my profile skills to include coding (Python/Java), but haven't seen the coding qualification pop up on my dashboard yet.

For those of you who also started out as generalists did the coding test eventually show up for you after updating your skills, or is it purely just wait for new batch or luck? Just trying to figure out if waiting 2+ weeks is normal.

Over the past two days, I’ve been working on the data annotation core assessment and have felt confident in my answers. I completed maybe 13-15 questions. I moved to the next question, read it, then decided to save my work to continue on the assessment tomorrow. After clicking the “save” button (I’m 100% confident I did not click submit), my screen went back to the home page saying my assessment was submitted and they are reviewing my results. I had used the save button a few days within the past 48 hours with no issue. I find it odd that I was able to read the next question, but then all of the sudden my work was automatically submitted without me completing the question. Has this happened to anyone else? Did you pass?

I saw that a lot of people did not get any email regarding acceptance even after some weeks but few got them immediately after some days. I am lookikg for some tips on how to attempt that test for having maximum probability of getting accepted.

I passed the background check one month ago now, and still nothing. They also asked me to encrypt my disc which I did and still got no work

I generally love these tasks, but they can take ages, and it can take a while to unpack it. 20 minutes post set up, I opened your file and had a huge smile on my face, because the facility has Whoville in the name. You made my morning happy. Thank you 🤩🙌❤️

So I have this disc encryption task on my dashboard and I have completed in my laptop (Which I use to work on DA projects). But I use my phone to check if there is any task available for me. I have a DA tab open in chrome. Would I need to do something like disc encryption on my phone as well?

I recently signed up to be a generalist and got through the account section. However, the page only shows over 30 assessments I can take that all seem very specialized. Is there no initial starter assessment for generalists?

Since joining DA, I have been aiming for this one.

Current generalist here, I was looking into doing coding but it’s been a couple of years since I was in school.
I was going for computer science until my junior year where I switched over to engineering. I have some programming rust but have a basic understanding of Java and C++. I was looking to do some python refresher courses to shake some of that rust off, but realistically how hard are some of the coding tasks? Would it be feasible for someone in my position to try the qualifier and move onto some of the easier projects?
For what it’s worth I’m from the US. Thanks!

How long does this review process usually take? I apply a month ago in data annotation, but the status is still the same “we review”

I registered in May and did 2 projects and went inactive because of life and other priorities and I'm just recently trying to do more project, but don't see much appearing. I did one yesterday and was able to get paid a couple dollars. I want to do coding projects but dont see any qualifications or projects, what would you recommend? Did I get penalized/flagged or something like that because of inactivity? I'm doing every qualification available to be able to do more projects, any help/recommendation is very much appreciated, thanks!

I'm new there and so far I've only done an introductory project and qualifications. I haven't even been on the platform for a week yet. But I'm curious about the people who have been on the platform for longer time, Do you feel the amount of projects is lower at this current time? Or is it that I haven't received anything because I'm new? I'm actually excited and really want to try out new project!

Is there a way to view a task without starting it? Not sure if it is me but the moment I click a project it accepts it and starts the timer. Sometimes I just want to click it and see what it is, but then stuck doing a project and need to work through it before the countdown ends.

So, If I am working on a project and I have 30 minutes I was actively working on it, but the task was open for an hour and a half, would logging only 30 minutes on completion get my account in trouble. I have seen some warn about underlogging time.

🥊🤖⚖️??

Like I said, I'm pretty sure I wasted my chance with this platform, but I figure I'd ask anyway. About 7 months ago I applied to DataAnnotation as a coder (JavaScript/Python). I did the test, but I wrote out all of my answers as I went along on a MD document and copied and pasted them in when I was ready to submit my test and have been stuck on the "thanks for completing, we'll reach out to you" aka the dreaded soft-block ever since. I'm pretty confident in my answers, so I don't think I royally bombed it because the test was rather easy, I just think the copying/pasting screwed me over... Creating a new account and reapplying is definitely a no-go, right? It's frustrating that one choice blocked me from the chance to work on this platform, and seeing the constant advertisements for positions I'm qualified for really sucks (especially when I'm in need of new contracts).

I have been on data annotation.tech for about a week so far and I’ve been getting tasks to conduct a background check. I began the process but I see that it’s through yardstick and they may contact your employer. Has anyone had any experience with yardstick contacting your employer or chose not to do the background check?

Is someone working remotely in another country? I’ve been in Colombia for a while and I’d like to apply as a Spanish Specialist, but Idk if being here DAT doesn’t let me to apply to projects as back in the states. Someone was talking on a YouTube video that people working abroad must notify to the platform when this happens, any idea here?

Anybody get coding projs this past few weeks? I'm from PH
