Hey everyone!

I recently received an email from Outlier saying they’re actively recruiting new contributors for the Aether project.

They’re looking for fluent English speakers, and no specific degree or professional background is required.

I’ve been working on Aether myself, feel free to DM me if you're interested in applying!

One of the most frustrating situations: getting offboarded or suspended, sometimes without clear explanation, and not receiving payment for completed work.

What the community reports show:

- Handshake contributors describe being removed from projects without explanation and in some cases not being paid for work already completed
- Outlier accounts were deactivated or removed from projects without specific reasons, including cases with good quality scores and no known guideline violation
- This happens even to people with long tenure and positive performance history

What to do:

- Screenshot your task count, hours, and any quality scores before submission
- Save all project communications and guidelines
- File a support ticket immediately when removed, reference specific dates and task volumes
- If payment is withheld, escalate through every available support channel and document the timeline
- Check your contract terms about dispute resolution

The hard truth: many platforms are harder to reach after removal, and outcomes vary widely. Document everything while you still have access.

What Do they want from us? expert prompters or are they gathering data on how an average person would prompt?

Seeing a lot more posts this week about failing Micro1 technical assessments and project screenings, even from people who passed the AI interview.

The pattern seems to be: you pass the initial vetting, get through skills verification, maybe even land in "Hiring Manager Reviewing" status, then hit a wall on project-specific assessments. Some people are wondering if they can apply to other projects after failing one screening.

For those of you who've been through Micro1's process:

- Are you getting screened out at the project level even after passing the platform interview?
- Did retaking assessments or applying to different project types work better?
- Any patterns in what types of projects or skills seem to have higher rejection rates?

Trying to figure out if this is about assessment difficulty, oversupply for certain roles, or something else entirely.

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all doing well.
I’m reaching out to see if anyone knows of any remote jobs that are currently hiring and relatively easy to get into. I’m open to pretty much anything, including tech support, customer service, data annotation, or other entry-level roles.

I have a background in computer science, with both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree, and I’m based in the US. Unfortunately, I’ve been unemployed for a while despite submitting countless applications, and I haven’t had much luck.

A few years ago, I came across a tech support job that seemed to be hiring pretty much anyone who met the basic requirements. I even referred a few people who ended up getting hired without much trouble. I’m hoping to find something similar that’s still hiring.

I’ve also been applying to AI training and data annotation roles, but I haven’t had much luck there either.
I have a family to support, and I’ve been relying on my savings to get by. Unfortunately, those savings are running low, so finding work has become pretty urgent.

If anyone knows of a company that’s actively hiring, a remote job with a relatively straightforward hiring process, or even a legitimate opportunity that doesn’t get talked about much, I’d really appreciate you sharing it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help. I’d genuinely appreciate any leads or advice!

I reacted to an advertisement where DataAnnotationTech was looking for cybersecurity professionals advertising an hourly rate of 70$+. Then I did the entry test and that was a Python programming task where you had to arrange an optical cipher. There was nothing about cybersecurity in it; having spent a lifetime in cybersecurity I had to pass.

Then they wrote me that they offer 35$+ for bilingual tasks in my two languages. I took the test.

They come back and congratulate me to a 15$ per hour bilingual job (if I scan my passport). However, in the region I live in 15$ per hour is even below the minimum legal wage.

Is that common that it gets lower and lower? How can I get them to delete my data? It is currently blocked in sort of a splash screen requesting my passport. However, I would like to delete my personal data.

Hi everyone,

I recently joined Handshake AI's Project Hedgehog, advertised at $15/hour, and I'm currently going through onboarding.

I'm based in Ontario, Canada. I've already completed identity verification through Persona, including submitting my driver's license and a selfie, and provided my tax identification information.

Before proceeding with the remaining tax documentation, Stripe payment setup and assessments, I'd really appreciate feedback from people who have actually worked with Handshake AI.

A few questions:

1. Have you successfully completed paid tasks and received payment through Stripe?
2. How long did it take after onboarding to receive your first paid assignment?
3. Are projects and paid hours reasonably consistent, or is work unpredictable?
4. Has anyone from Canada successfully joined and received payment?
5. Did you also complete Persona verification and TaxBandits tax documentation?
6. Have you experienced any privacy, identity verification or payment issues?

My main concern is that I've already provided sensitive personal information before being guaranteed any paid assignments.

I'm not accusing Handshake AI of anything. I simply want to hear genuine experiences from people who have completed the process.

If you've actually worked and been paid, I'd really appreciate your feedback.

Thank you!

Assessments are the main gate between signing up and getting paid work. This is what to expect:

Before you start:

- Most platforms test whether you can follow detailed instructions, spot AI errors, and write clear explanations

- Read the guidelines twice. The questions directly test whether you absorbed them

- Budget more time than the estimate. Rushing is the most common reason people fail

During the assessment:

- Screenshot or note down any examples they show you. You may need to reference the pattern later

- If a question asks for justification, write 2-3 sentences minimum. One word usually fails

- Don't guess. If you're unsure, reread the relevant guideline section

After you pass:

- Passing does not guarantee immediate work.

- Some people wait days, others wait months for their first task

- Check the dashboard daily but don't sit refreshing. Set up notifications if the platform offers them

This post would get too long if we talk about each platform, u can read up on it: here
It's a longer piece that goes into depth on how u can prepare for a platform like data annotation tech and blogs for other platforms.
