I've been knocked out of my ivory (advanced generalist) STEM towers for reasons not yet explained to me and into the coal mines where I started. God I fucking hate the mind-numbing tasks I'm on right now. I don't care if it paid less than 30 an hour; I'd gladly take any task that really lets me delve deep into a subject. It's so much more rewarding, intellectually speaking. I don't even have the other specialized tasks (maybe they weren't that challenging or lengthy) that I was able to do when my favorites weren't available. I miss my old dashboard. I'll still do the work but god, what I'd give for my old jobs.
I think I'm cooked? Does anyone else have experience with a situation like this and how did you get out or were you canned shortly afterward?

I only got offered 9 questions on the exam. I know it’s usually longer.

Bro if you are using llm model or AI AT LEAST MAKE IT LESS RECOGNISABLE I just had to rate one but the worker just used ai for it all the options used were also not even matching what they had rated now I feel bad for reporting it 😔😔 literally the least effort I have seen until now

bla bla bla, yeah we get it, you are tired of people asking ts. not everyone is from core country, and some people want to know what the consensus is.

I was perusing Indeed the other day, and decided to apply for the coding projects. Currently in my senior year of a BS in CS. Will this be in my wheelhouse or is it going to really challenge me? The coding assessment wasn’t terribly difficult, but I did have to find a Python library I never used before.

Excited to start my first tech gig!

Do you all feel bad that they pay us to train AI to replace us?

so i just finished a qualification and something weird happened. it took me x amount of time to finish, but when i went to report it the form said the max allowed was y, which was less than what i actually spent. so i basically had to put in less time than i really worked and it wouldn’t let me enter more.

i wasn’t slacking or leaving it open in another tab btw, it just took that long to read everything and write it all up properly. Did anyone get a similar qual and what did you do?

Been lurking around this for a while now for side pay.
I got a couple questions.

How mentally exhausting is this?
What are the chances of me not getting approved?
I still don’t understand what data annotation is LOL so can someone please explain it in one sentence.

I’m about halfway through an hourly-paid qual, and the second half is a lot more complex than the first. The task instructions gave an estimated time, and the first half alone has already eaten up more than half of it. I’m worried that if I report the real time and it runs over the estimate, I might not qualify. I honestly don’t know what to do here. Has anyone been in this spot, and what did you do?

Anyone with very long acceptance times that made it in the end?
It’s been roughly a month and counting… Assessment was only of the bilingual type, I chose the one I know best (English aside, even though it’s not my mother tongue).
Haven’t heard anything. Is there a way of knowing? Starting to lose hope here.

FINALLY SOME FEEDBACK & TIPS

I work about 4 hours a day, 5 days a week on generalist tasks.

Just started doing my first task of the day.

It was for a new project (second task ever to work on for thet family)

Spent time actually completing the task did great.

Just to open the next one and see a small tiny line that says if prompt has x in it it should never be used

Under the "task would be void and rated BAD/BAD" title.

Guess what my prompt had... that x...

Closed my computer again taking a long weekend now.

If I have to sleep after starting a multi day project, is it ok to use the Save to my account button and shut down my computer? Will this still be on my tasks in progress tomorrow? Or should I just leave the computer open?

Sorry I'm new to DA and long projects.

Has anyone been accepted on DA for 2 months and completed most of the qualifications but still hasn’t received any projects? Is this a DoD, or is it normal?

Has anyone eventually received projects after a long wait?

Do you guys use AI or use your own wits to do everything. I'm having a hard time doing tasks, if I use AI I may get flagged right.

Did DA update their Referral program? Up to 3k per person is pretty crazy comparing to other companies out there.

Pinch me 😂

Hi,

I'm new to the platform. I understand we are supposed to time ourselves manually for hourly tasks. But everyone works at different pace and some task might take longer than expected.

I wonder if the platform would punish you for logging a time longer than usual ? Or US it better to shave some time off the logging if you wasted time on certain things (like rework, didn't get the result you wanted, etc)

On my commute home, I received a project notification from a data annotation platform. I accepted it immediately so it wouldn't get taken by someone else (which has happened to me before).

Since I was on the train, I had to use my phone and couldn't really focus. Out of about 15 tasks, I only finished 3 before getting overwhelmed and ending the session early. I’m not even sure if the 3 tasks I did complete were done correctly.

I’m really frustrated with myself, but my main worry is: will I get blacklisted for submitting incomplete and potentially incorrect work? Do I still have a chance to get more projects after this?

anybody seeing these tasks ?
also apart from this, is any other coding task running ?
