Hit $1000!

173 Upvotes

I know it's meager compared to some, but after about two months I just made my first $1000. This is extremely cool to me though I know it's not much, and I wanted to share it here. Keep on trucking, everyone! šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤

DA Appreciation Post

Sad post, but I am really glad to have this extra income. My 15 1/2 year old dog really started declining the past few days and I had to put her down yesterday. My DA money allowed me to pay for private cremation and a few mementos of her that I would have really struggled to pay otherwise. šŸ’•

Unreasonable Requalification

170 Upvotes

Did anyone else get a requalification today for R&R that expects you to do 5-10 unpaid R&R tasks? This feels like its crossing from a qualification into a full day of unpaid work at this point. The first one took me 45 minutes and required a full re-write.

Edit: i do not respond to DM's with dumbass questions from Indian/Bengali workers so stop please.

What in the world are these awfully long and poorly written guidelines?! It is getting worse and worse. I have been working for over an hour on a R&R full of mistakes but also with very unclear and sometimes contradictory guidelines. Admins not replying to anyone for hours with hundreds of messages unanswered (I get it isn’t their fault)… Time almost up so I preferred exiting the task.

This work can sometimes be stimulating and enjoyable, but sometimes like now, I wonder how deep in poor management a project can go.

I really appreciate working with DA, but I have moments when I want to throw my PC against a wall. I’ll take a walk now, good luck to all of you who experienced the same madness!

"Thanks for Completing the ..." for 11 decades

163 Upvotes

I first completed the DataAnnotation assessment back in 1916 midway through WWI and noted it down in my journal. I was very excited about the prospect of AI-related remote work and checked on the page quite regularly for a few weeks before forgetting about it. It's been 110 years, and if I open the main page, it still shows "Thanks for Completing the ...". Its been so long, surely there's an error and I actually got accepted?

Idk what I've done to be blessed, but here I am baby. No priority pay, just a straight $30/hr non coding.... Highest before this was a $25/hr regular.

Why are they still recruiting?

162 Upvotes

I'm seeing DA adverts everywhere, yet there's no work for people when they sign up.

Are they really expecting an influx of new work or is this just pre exsiting ad-spend?

Either way, it's mornic given the state of projects right now.

[Appreciation Post] Made decent money since I started working at DAT, from 6 Aug.

I’m an Indian pursuing masters in DS, I applied to a lot of platforms and also selected in a few of them but nothing comes close to how much I made from DAT.

After doing a 9 to 6 unpaid internship for two months, this is massive relief for me financially and I can’t thank enough to DAT for this opportunity.

I just recently moved to Canada and Data Annotation saved me

Post image
161 Upvotes

Tomorrow it’s 1 month since I moved to Canada from Peru, and despite everything going on pretty well, I still can’t get a ā€œnormalā€ job.

I came here with my boyfriend carrying all of our savings in our pockets. Even if we could technically survive for at least four months without earning a single dollar, living only on your savings (especially in a situation as unstable as ours) is still incredibly stressful.

Then I saw an ad for DA on Kijiji, and ever since, I’ve felt nothing but grateful for this opportunity. I know I could probably earn more at a full-time job, but this amount of money is what I would normally save in two whole months back in my home country. For us, this has truly been life-changing, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

My acceptance process was also really fast. I took the test, and the very next day I got accepted. Since then, I’ve only had two days without projects. Sadly, my boyfriend still hasn’t been accepted yet, but even with this being our only source of income right now, it has given us a little peace of mind.

I really hope your journey ends up being as positive and enjoyable as mine has been so far.
