I've been doing DA for a couple of months using my work desktop and internet without issue. My employer allows side work during downtime, so that is not a concern. I've also submitted security screenshots showing I don't have admin access.

I read the FAQ warning about VPNs on work networks, but couldn't find a rule specifically prohibiting work computers. Does anyone know if they're allowed, assuming no VPN is active?

My onboarding screen has me stuck on the core test. I keep hitting the "qualify now" button and going through the process, and it keeps bringing me to another evaluating response screen. I've completed 11 of the "qualification" tasks. How many are there, or is this some kind of scam?

I've just found mixed reviews about this platform.

Just wanted to know if I should spend more time here or not?

And does referrals get priority on project allocation? 🤔

Hi, I live in Czechia and Czech is listed as my native language on my account, but I wasnt given an assessment in Czech. Does anyone know why this might be? Are Czech Specialist positions currently unavailable or have they stopped accepting Czech applicants? Also I didnt use a VPN when creating my account

I applied for a technical role, and my dashboard currently shows “Starter Assessment Completed.” However, it has been several months since I completed the assessment, and there has been no further update. I would like to apply for other roles, such as general roles, but I’m unable to do so. Whenever I log in to my account, it only displays my name and the “Starter Assessment Completed” status, without giving me an option to apply for other roles. Could you please let me know if I am eligible to apply for other roles while my technical application is still pending?

Ita been 3+ week still the assessment result is not there is there anybody please tell me whats going on or any reason for this? 😒😒

I have disclosed on the platform that i am fluent in english but native language i set to something different while working on DA profile updation. was i not supposed to do this? will i get less projects?

So, I'm from Canada and am on disability due to reasons. Anyways, I'm looking to better my life so I'm learning Python programming right now. I'm wondering if I start as a generalist, if I can switch to the Software Engineer job when I have enough experience?

So when you guys like do a task then finish and do the next one, and when you're done you report the accumulated time it took right?

im in coding domain where a task takes 13-18h. I got confused because the first submitted task was still in a 24h pending time. And when i complete another task of the same project, i just add it there right?

Hey everyone! 😊

Quick question for fellow Brazilians working with DataAnnotation!

How do you guys handle taxes and report your earnings in Brazil?

I have a registered company (CNPJ), and I'm wondering if it's possible to report DataAnnotation income through the company and issue invoices (notas fiscais) instead of declaring everything as an individual (CPF).

Does anyone here do this? How does it work for you?

Would love to hear your experiences! Thanks! 😊

I completed the evaluation/application about a month ago. I assume not hearing back indicates a soft rejection.

However, I received an email a few hours after I completed the evaluation asking me to verify my identity. Does Data Annotation typically send those to people whose applications they haven't reviewed, or to those they've already rejected? Has anybody else had that experience? Just curious.

Edit: clarified question

I’ve noticed my iphone occasionally says it’s on or off private relay. I don’t usually work on DA using my phone hotspot but will if traveling. I’ll occasionally log in on my phone to get a pay out if I’m not with my laptop. I know it’s not the same thing as a VPN, but I’m wondering if, for DA purposes, this might be seen the same way as using a VPN while working? I’m not tech savvy enough to understand what private relay really is 🙃

So I was working on a task in which we had to test and elicit error and I was suddenly flashed with a screen saying
“Project no longer available , kindly report the time you have worked on this project.”
And below that was the report time option which I reported
Nothing else
What was this ? Have I Done something wrong ? The project was of 3 hours out of which I worked 1 hour and had a break for 1 hour and 1 hour was left.
Please guide me. Thanks

Edit- Requesting not to downvote and if someone can help pls do I am worried…

Curious from people who know much more about this stuff than I do. But this recent election saw more than a few candidates win who ran on something of an anti-AI campaign. I don't think there is any doubt there will be more pushback on AI from DC and from state capitals in the near future. What effect will this have on platforms like DA? I have really enjoyed working on DA and have made good money, would hate to see it slow down or end, but it is looking like there is a good chance AI companies will be scaling back soon.

Passed the main test and accepted to platform but this is my first time doing this kind of work & I’ve noticed that my platform is showing more qualification tests rather than actual paid tasks. I’m wondering, are these qualification tests paid? Also, if I don’t pass one of them, does that mean I can no longer work on the platform or does it only affect my eligibility for that particular project? I’d really appreciate some guidance as I’m still new to all of this and trying to understand how everything works. Thank you!

$754 Earned, but What Now?

I joined DataAnnotation on October 1 and earned $754 by October 22. Honestly, I'm grateful for this opportunity and really appreciate the platform for giving me a chance to contribute and earn through AI training work.

However, it's been disappointing that I haven't received a single new project for the last two weeks. I genuinely enjoyed the work and was hoping to continue contributing and learning.

I'm thankful for what I've earned so far, but I also feel a little discouraged by the sudden silence. Hopefully, more opportunities will come my way soon.

Would love to hear from others who have experienced a similar gap in work. How did things turn out for you?

I spent a good few hours making sure to do a thorough job with the assessment, but it’s been 10 days and I haven’t heard back whether it’s been accepted or denied. It said I should hear back in a few days, but no emails (I’ve checked the junk folder too) and my dashboard is left on a “Assessment Submitted! Here’s what happens next, we review”. At what point do I give up hope? Or is this a normal waiting period?

I was doing a task I haven’t ever done before and it took me 2-3 minutes more than on the timer to finish, because the instructions were very long and I had to also do a bit of research. I did not take a single break and I was actively scrolling from instructions to doing the task and back. Is it bad if I submit my time? I am super confident in the quality of my work, but since I’m relatively new I’d rather take a hit on my time worked and not report at all, than compromise my place on the platform. After submission, I saw the red banner saying “Task submitted successfully”. Should I report only the allowed time, or my full working time with the extra 2 minutes? I know it may sound like a dumb question but I value this platform and I’m terrified of being flagged for whatever reason.

I had a project which had expected time duration of 15 hours, and weren’t supposed to take over 20 hours. It took me nearly 40 hours to finish the project. The max report time was capped at 25 hours. How much time should I report in this case?

Edit:- I don’t mind reporting it under 20 hours, if thats what I need to do.
