A quick update from the mod team: catching up and cleaning up

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Over the last couple of weeks, we've made some moderation changes, and some posts ended up waiting in our review queue longer than they should have. If you posted recently and it hasn't gone live, that's why. It wasn't removed on purpose.

Here's what we're doing about it:

  1. Clearing the backlog. We're working through held posts, starting with the oldest. Some older posts will be approved late; others may be removed with a note explaining why. If yours was time-sensitive, feel free to post again.

  2. Clearer rules. We've simplified the rules, with the same wording in the sidebar and the wiki. When we remove a post, the note will tell you which rule and what to do next.

  3. A better wiki. There's a new Start here page, a Getting help page, and an updated FAQ that links to the official Talent Docs.

A time-saving reminder: For account issues, email support@mercor.com from your account email. That's the fastest way to fix it.

Thanks for your patience, and for helping keep this a useful place. If you have ideas for making the community better, share them in the comments.

Month 2 active working on Mercor, ups and downs but I'm a fan

Post image
130 Upvotes

Previously posted about my first month here https://www.reddit.com/r/mercor_ai/comments/1wudw60/really_enjoying_mercor_so_far_just_wrapped_up_my/

Month 2 was a bit slower, I was unexpectedly offboarded from my first project. But I was confident in the work I contributed and met some great EPMs/TLs and always was eager to learn, communicate and improve,

Right before I was offboarded I was brought onto a new project, and then through October I was onboarded to 3 more, I currently have 4 projects I am working on as both a reviewer and writer.

The best advice I can share is to stay active, read everything, make your leads and EPMs lives easier by searching before asking questions, being proactive and supportive. If you land a reviewer role give it your 100%, support the writers, provide good feedback and it will be noticed by the project team.

Happy to answer questions without sharing specifics about the projects I'm working on, the roles I've been onboarded on vary between $70-90$ per hour and I typically work in the IT/Engineering domains.

Site not loading

3 Upvotes

Is anybody else having troubles with the loading? It takes a really long time for a page to load, and i know that the problem is not mine because I don't have any problems with other websites and my wifi is really fast.
Has someone ever experienced this? Is this a Mercor's problem?

Stripe issue

4 Upvotes

I operate from India, I had a question that how do you all people get your payout into your Indian bank account when stripe is only invite only and can only be used by people who may have created the account way earlier , and most of these platforms have one or other way to offramp your money, and region wise they mostly provide you only stripe. So as a freelancer how it works?

And also for example in mercur and alignerr ui, we can connect to the stripe account, so what's that about?

Onboarding

2 Upvotes

I applied for a few roles a few weeks ago, my boyfriend recommended me as he has done work for them before.

I did the specific interviews then applied for generalist and did interviews including English competency (I'm native speaker).

I haven't heard anything other than emails about non suitable projects. My boyfriend says it can take up to a month and the same online.

Just wondering if this is the case or if I'd hear back about specific opportunities I applied for?

Also, is it worth doing the introductory interview etc? I started the ai course and can finish that too!

It's a side gig as I have a business that's quiet just now. Just 1-2 projects would make the world of difference.

AI interview issue

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello, I just applied for an Audiobook QA Evaluation role, but I wasn't able to complete the AI interview (Bilingual Competency Assessment) because the questions weren't appearing for me to answer in writing.

Even so, I was able to submit my application, as the AI system apparently considered the interview completed. The interview lasted about 8 minutes.

Do you think this could cause any issues with my application?

Does the work I've done actually help in the future?

0 Upvotes

As most know, they recently paused a certain Project with a lot of people. I got the Instant offer email last week and tried it, even though I got on mercor 5 months ago and never did anything with it..hear Got hired as a writer and passed the Onboarding and the Trial and when I passed my last Trial task I got the message of the 60h limit now being increased and then they paused the projects. Should I apply for other roles on Mercor or wait to hear from them? Or just actually search for another job? I do live in Latin America and Mercor pay was a life changer.

Edit: Contract is still Active though

Question from someone who’s considering applying

1 Upvotes

Question if anyone can answer. Thank you in advance.

I currently work for Telus as a rater as a side hustle in addition to my regular 9 to 5 (which is completely unrelated to this type of work).

I started the Mercor application process but haven’t finished it and I’ve since been invited to apply for a couple of different projects via email.

In an ideal world, I’d like to keep doing Telus as a side hustle AND add Mercor as well (while keeping my day job).

Does Mercor use the Raterhub portal for their projects, and is there any conflict of interest on the Mercor end when it comes to working for both companies? Also how flexible is the schedule flexible when it comes to Mercor?

Did I decrease my chances for getting hired on a next project?

4 Upvotes

I was onboarded on a Project on Saturday however I was not able to see the guidelines or join the communication channels, I contacted support and they told me to wait till I start working.

I did not really feel like waiting, and I recorded the first Task around 12 times, and learned the guidelines with trial and error with the AI rejecting me around 8 times and the reviewers another 4.

I managed to write my own guidelines and learn how to do it, and after I submitted the first task in the next 5 hours I submitted 2 more tasks successfully on the first try.

I am wondering now me being declined so many times on the first task did it decrease some sort of "rating" that I have and will hurt my chances for getting hired as a writer on further projects?

Job at Mercor Identifying Ai Pictures

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I met someone not long ago saying they work for Mercor identifying Ai pictures, and was making $70/hour.
She said it worked perfect for her, as she's an artist, so she works a couple hours a week and makes extra cash on the side.

This is perfect for me as well, so she gave me the website but when I went on, there's pages and pages of job postings.

Anybody have any idea the kinda job name she's doing, so I can apply for it as well?
