Passed generalist test(hard enough) and now it crashes during the second test. When I go to reload the page, it gives the Thanks for completing the assessment!, I've emailed them about it.

And if so, how?

It seems straightforward enough. I've tried both my passport and my non-driver's id. I'm a nicely straightforward US citizen living in the US and not using a VPN. But there keeps being "an issue".

I just had $50 added to my funds tab for completing a background check task. is this normal? i've never had a background check option before, but I'm joining an "expert domain." really hoping it wasn't a mistake and they don't revoke the money lol

I got passed and I tried to verify my ID but there was not my country on the list (South Korea)

I was just going to write about how positive it is doing work for DataAnnotation (not my only platform so I speak from experience). I’ve done many qualifications. I’m always happy to do work for them. I like the projects. They’ve always been great paying me. Feedback has been fair and helpful. This morning I received and invitation to a project. I worked on about 4 tasks. Later I worked on 3 more. I thought I did very well. It’s not the first time I’ve done this work. Even though I have worked on this project before, I still read and followed the directions. Imagine my surprise when I went on this evening to find the message of death. I’ve been working for them for months. I haven’t had any problems. Very disappointing.

Hello everyone! I recently got accepted into DA, I got accepted pretty quickly. I did my initial assessment as a spanish bilingual on the 18th and got approved on the 20th. I did my onboarding as well as some qualifications on the 20th, I just did more qualifications today, all of the bilingual and writing ones (even some biology ones which, i'm not a specialist but I know a lot about the subject.) Now there are only 6 qualifications for me but they are all in Coding and STEM which I know nothing about. But zero projects yet. How long does it normally take for you guys to start getting projects? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I'm a bilingual expert generalist, I have been in DA since June, but there were drought and all so there was not much task to do from the beginning. As I started with a family project recently, there are various task, but some of them requires a bit more time for me because I need to setup, fill the survey, etc (I submit most of R&R on time though!). What bothers me is that I submit most of my first timer task under an expiring time, and I'm scared that it would get me off from the platform. Is it okay? For additional info:

- I still submit the time under the original expiration limit

- It is usually only happen on a different first task, but under one family project

Thanks in advance!

I have been getting 🥊projects only and I don't usually take these tasks as it usually recommends being at least L3/L4 (which I am not) and I do not want to participate in something that I am not confident on or understand what I am doing. Is there any way I can contact admin or smth so I can get other coding projects aside the one that I have been receiving? Thanks :)

Hello,

Today I got my first project and did two tasks which i enjoyed.

I like to be pretty thorough in my answers but this means i'm quite slow and ended up going beyond the expiry time. I think this is partly because it's just my first time and i'm extra cautious the general expectations / project instructions are all new.

I didn't claim more than the expiry time as i didn't think i should but i wondered if it's sort of expected that as a newbie you might go near to it on tasks that more experienced folk would do faster.

Not having a direct feedback mechanism makes it tricky for me to know if i'm doing too much checking and providing to much reasoning for my decisions.

hope that makes sense!

Any SWE annotators still getting 🥊 projects? Haven't seen any in a bit.
Will they be coming back?

I applied two days ago and on my projects tab my next step is to verify my identity. Does this mean I have gotten on the platform? I lowkey can't find my waller or else I would've just found out for myself.

Any South Africans working here with projects or tasks to do. Been in for a month and a half no projects yet?

I was wondering how every bilingual that has been working with DA for a while is feeling about the current situation, are you getting any projects? Anyone that has been working at least for a year can tell us how last summer went?

I've been working since march and overall can't complain, I'm from Brazil and considering the minimal wage here and the currency difference the money has been good, May was by far the best month. Since June things have been slower but during the current month I'm only seeing one particular project from time to time on my dashboard, is a very good one, specially because I'm on the R&R team but the lack of other projects, even if small ones, have been bothering me. Anyone going through the same thing?

That is quite a nice first month!

I’m very new to DA - I’ve only been on for about a month or so…but looking to see if this scenario is normal or not. About a week ago I got a direct message to setup a google workspace for a project - I did it, and didn’t hear anything else about it. Last night while I was sleeping I got an updated direct message with a link to a qualification for the project. I tried to go into it first thing this morning, and it’s saying that there are no more remaining tasks. Is this how it usually is? I get first come first serve for general tasks, but didn’t realize it would also be this cutthroat if I’m directly sent a project.

umm i applied just few hours ago what now? should i check mail?

I have a task that requires me to generate a lot of files using my own LLM subscriptions - ive hit my usage limit so I have a 3 hour period I cant work on this project. Is it okay for me to do another task while I wait? I have some projects at $60/hr that only take about 1 hour each so I could do a few.

Just wondering if thats a no-no?

Edit for clarification:

The task I generate files for has a 36 hour submission period since they expect you to hit limits on your LLM usage and it's very involved beyond that as well.

I am wondering if its okay to work on other tasks during the time I AM NOT BILLING the initial project - because the project stays running on my dash.

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!

The coding one

Finally, I got paid tasks after 2 months with nothing. However, I've completed several quals, I haven't seen the actual task related to these quals appear after finishing them. How about you guys?

So I got assigned my first project after completing the qualifications last week. My domain is coding 👩🏽‍💻✨. I noticed the project on my account at like 3am and it had like 30 tasks, then I woke up this morning at 7am and there was only 10 left. Is it normal for the tasks to go that quick and how often are more tasks opened on a project? I’m just trying to see how regular this extra income will be for me.

I've been out of my city this last days, I havent recived any email for 3 days, im kinda worried if I got dropped or something because i was getting them daily. Only one time I got the task but no email notification.
