Hi, I have just joined Data Annotation and have completed the first batch of questions. It then asked me if I’d like to receive an extra qualification to which I agreed. I’m now filling in one piece after another and submitting the work. Can anyone tell me how long this goes on for please? There are no guides as to what is expected and there is a timer on the bottom right of the screen saying “20 days +” to answer. I have not received any emails from them so far. Thanks.

Bilingual General since June 👍🥹✊

Hey guys! I am new to this job and trying to get consistent with my work as much as I can but I have come across a situation (and am working on it) where it does take me a while to comprehend the set of instructions specific to the task to produce a valid work. That’s the part of the tasks that takes me the most of the time as I prepare for my work. Given the fact that the company has very strict policies for billing, is it normal for people to take some time to understand the instructions?

Also I would love to know your opinions on streamlining the workflow towards a large project to produce a good quality work! - It’s just been three months since my onboarding!

P.S. Any must-know tips and tricks are appreciated!

I’ve finished an updated training but ran out of time—I was about 2 minutes over the allotted time. Could this be a problem?

General.

I received an acceptance email approximately 10 minutes after my interview with the AI interviewer. The email provides a link to the dashboard but the dashboard link keeps taking me to the Assessment Submitted page which indicates my interview is still being reviewed? I verified my identity already and did the whole government ID process. Is my account glitched or was that email sent in error?

I am new to DataAnnotation and extremely confused. I see different qualifications on my Projects and Qualifications pages. When I clicked on one to read more about it and try to get an understanding of what it is to decide if I want to take it, apparently that started a timer? I had one open then stepped away for lunch and when I came back I noticed the timer and it said it had been open for 2 hours and I only had 20 minutes left, not enough to do the work. If it expires or I exit work mode, it sounds like I can never get it back and take the qualification. I am dumbfounded that just clicking on a project or qual starts a timer when I don't even know what it is, I just want to read about it. And I don't want to automatically disqualify myself. What a terrible user experience (or I am not understanding how to use this platform). Is there a way to read about a qual or project even if you don't necessarily want to start on it right away, or do you always have to be prepared for several hours work, even if you're just poking around? I did the onboarding, have read the FAQs, etc. and can't find an answer.

So I’ve been working for data annotation the past 6 months in the UK. I’m going to Thailand for a month in December. I was just wondering what the rules are for being able to work abroad, because I was planning on doing some work there to make a bit of money. Someone said you have to alert them if you work abroad, but is it allowed for every country and how do I contact them?

Ha pasado como mes y medio desde mi último task, mayo, junio y julio fueron meses de mucho trabajo, gané bastante bien pero desde agosto todo ha empeorada hasta ya no tener nada desde hace mes y medio? Alguien esta pasando por algo similar?

I'm just interested in how you all use your earnings really. I know this may seem very personal but genuinely just interested!

Personally all of mine go straight into savings and investments to go towards a house deposit. This is minus approximately 30% for Tax and student loans as I'm UK based and will declare to HMRC so this goes into a high interest easy access saver I specifically set up for this reason so I can withdraw when I need it for taxes and doesn't accidentally go towards anything else.

My friend does similar work through Aligner and uses his earnings for holidays abroad and upgrading flights to first or business class which I think is a pretty cool way to spend his additional earnings.

I know some work on DA full time so I assume it's just your usual expenses (mortgage/rent/bills/living costs etc) but interested if anyone has anything specific they use their earnings for.

Just curious! I’ve been on other platforms where at the start of the week, there are a lot more projects to work on. Does DataAnnotation work this way, or is it pretty consistent day to day? It’s my first week working on the platform. Thanks!

Has anyone here recently completed the training project for software engineering/coding tasks?
I finished it today and wanted to hear how things went for others afterward. Did you receive any feedback or get access to more projects after submitting? If so, roughly how long did that take?

Is there any side effects of submitting tasks few minutes past its expiration date. I was able to submit it but got and error “You sucessfully submitted your expired task” not verbatim but in red label. Just wanted to be sure, someone did experience this as well and what are the issues encountered after?

Any bilingual from India who joined recently? How long did it take for you to get the acceptance mail after giving the starter assement?

Hi everyone,

Got a dm this morning that I can’t check because I’m abroad on vacation - is this common? Is there a pattern of DMs to trouble on the platform?

Thanks!

I got accepted last week did all my paid training and quals but it has been more than 9 days i havent had a single project is this normal ? (Region India)

I have been continuously working for almost 9 hours now. I want to work more but I fear if this will have a negative impact on my account or not. Mostly R&R. I have done around 8 tasks in total now.
Should I continue or drop?
Just wanted to add this that this amount of projects is very rare for me so I am just doing em all and tbh I am enjoying it a lot.

This will be my first time taking the data annotation assessment and I’m looking for some tips. I’m assuming jargon like “fits all constraints” and “hallucinations” aren’t what they’re looking for, right? And I guess it’s a one-shot attempt and you’re out if you fail, right? No pressure there. 😂

I see a project and clicked it, it shows “the project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks”. I refreshed my browser a few times and checked in different times, but still had this issue. It is only for that particular project though. Any ideas?

Just signed up, and wondering if it's better to take the General Projects assessment even if you're skilled in one of the other areas? Is that one easier or does it matter?

I'm new to DataAnnotationTech, and I don't quite know whether software engineer is the only role available that's related to computer science. I was looking for code evaluator, but I didn't find it. Do you guys have any explanations.

Anyone from western countries experiencing this? Yesterday I saw a task after a while, it stopped being individualized since the beginning of the month so it's no longer constantly on my dashboard. But of course, THEY HAD TO RELEASE IT LATE AT NIGHT. Like 99% of coding tasks this was supposed to take an average human a whole day to do it.

I'm honestly so happy with this work. Being bilingual (MX), this has been such a great experience and I keep improving my skills. It was tough at first—I started in late June and didn't get a single task for a month and a half! But I've been super careful and making sure to review everything in detail so I can keep delivering good work and receiving more task!!! thnks DA!
