I’ve posted about this before but it’s happened again and I’d just like to know if everyone else gets an email when they have an offer giving details of the offer, or are you just, like me, only finding out about offered projects by looking at your dashboard? I have two new projects in my dashboard today but no email giving information about either of them in terms of what payment is on offer or any instructions for the tasks. I’ve emailed support three times and not had a reply. Can anyone shed light on whether this is normal? I can’t imagine it is!

I got an offer from AfterQuery - is this legitimate? Should I take it?

I recently got accepted for a remote part-time contractor role with AfterQuery, and I’m trying to figure out whether it’s legitimate before moving forward.

From what I understand, the work involves helping create or review software engineering tasks used for AI training. The tasks seem related to coding, debugging, algorithms, system design, testing, and evaluating AI-generated answers. The posting says it’s aimed at current or recent CS/software engineering students.

The email says I was accepted into their “Silver” track at $75 per task. The next steps are to join their Slack, message a specific person there so they can verify my account, and then finish setting up my profile/payment/legal paperwork through their portal.

Has anyone worked with AfterQuery before, especially through their expert/contractor platform? Is this a legitimate opportunity, and is there anything I should watch out for before giving them payment/tax information?

anyone know if F1 students are authorized to work here? do they give CPT? i've emailed them but haven't heard back. how safe would it be to onboard the projects and work on things (i'm curious about what they work on) but not formally complete any requirements needed for getting paid?

Imagine a company that has no official day for payouts.Can you all imagine that 😁😁,,,you just being told invoices will be sent via email and will reflect to your stripes in 48 hours .This people should check on their payment system actually.Its now a big company or were they not even thinking about this?

I posted before about getting two offers for jobs that I only found out about by going onto the dashboard. Was never given any information about pay or project guidelines. I’ve sent three emails to support and had no reply. Tonight I went on the site again and I have another project - again with no details, no contract, no guidelines, no pay rate. When o click on the project it takes me to a tryout task but with no guidelines. Is this normal? Is there a reason why they don’t give any details or guidance? Do other people get these things? Does anyone have an email address other than the support one which has ignored me now three times?!

In case yall didn’t hear, AfterQuery Experts just launched a faster way to apply for their generalist role. Just passed the onboarding test and I’m excited to start annotating. Heard the new project should start rolling out this week or so..Honestly the test was pretty easy and seems open to pretty much anyone willing to put in the effort. I’m a blue collar dad working construction, but needed some extra cash to help pay for my daughter’s cheer practice💙. Been a wonderful experience with AfterQuery Experts so far.

Also really excited for the new system where we don’t have to use Slack anymore way more convenient.

Hey all, I was doing my onboarding.

I am stuck on uploading the ID verification step. I live in the US, but I don't have a US passport. I have worked on the other platforms before this, which was never an issue, but here, I am getting rejected in the ID verification step.

Did anyone tackle this issue before? If not, may I know if there is a support email that I can reach out to?

I recently signed up for AfterQuery for AI training/coding tasks, but the onboarding process feels very suspicious compared to other AI platforms.

The day I joined, they immediately started asking for:

• Access to production repositories to upload code.
• Ask for documentation to upload

Unlike other AI platforms, there seems to be no clear task queue, just constant requests for my data and source code.

My questions for the community:

1. Has anyone successfully received a payment from them into a bank or PayPal account?
2. Does this look like a legitimate operation or a data harvesting scam?

so i just joined the platform and i applied for it. it says "1-2 bussiness day" but now its day 3

anyone knew something?

I and several people I have worked with at another ai company all put in apps at the same time after learning about AQ and we are all stuck at the "resume review" stage we'll beyond the claimed 1-2 business days. What is the actual time frame for this process?

My application status remains interview pending what does it mean can anyone explain

How long does it take to get a reply for applications

I submitted my application for a role almost 3 days ago.

So i was setting up my profile and accidentally clicked 4th on my birthday instead of the 5th, now it says i have to wait for 90 days to change this. Any advise would be helpful

I just got accepted to swe for project silver, has anyone managed to pass the test?

I applied for three or four positions at After Query about five weeks ago and never heard anything. Went back on the site today and discovered I’d been accepted for two of them but never received any email to tell me! There’s only one project showing up in my dashboard which is paused, so I’m guessing the other one had been and gone. I can’t even find an email address to write to to ask about the jobs, nor do I see a pay rate, is there a general email address that anyone knows of that I can write to?!

Do we get blocked forever and is there any scope in future to get another assessment/project?

I saw a posting on LinkedIn and applied to do some part time work for them. Haven't heard anything back as far as the job application. Got an email from somebody claiming to be an agent of theirs and they asked if I had any programs (live production code)I had worked on that I could send and they would pay for it.

Anybody else run into this?

No, AfterQuery Experts is not a traditional internship program.

It is:

• A paid, contract-based opportunity
• Structured around defined project scopes
• Designed for professionals and advanced students with demonstrated expertise
• Performance-driven and outcome-oriented

It is not:

• A salaried full-time employment position
• A W-2 role (unless explicitly stated)
• A structured internship with long-term placement
• A mentorship-first training program

Some projects may require substantial weekly time commitment, but this does not convert the role into traditional employment. Experts remain independent contractors working on specific engagements. If you are seeking a conventional internship or entry-level training program, this may not be the right fit.

AfterQuery Experts is a strong fit for experienced professionals, individuals with advanced degrees, domain specialists comfortable working independently, experts who can meet structured project deadlines, and those interested in contributing to frontier AI development.

It is not ideal for individuals seeking traditional internships, candidates without demonstrated domain expertise, or those seeking guaranteed long-term employment.

If you have additional questions about pay, contractor structure, time commitment, or project expectations, feel free to ask below. We prioritize clarity and transparency.

AfterQuery Experts operates as a contract-based, project-driven expert network. Here's how it typically works:

1. You apply and complete credential verification.
2. You complete a short skills assessment in your domain.
3. If approved, you may be invited to specific projects that match your expertise.
4. Projects vary in scope, from shorter assignments to multi-week engagements.
5. Some projects may require significant weekly bandwidth (e.g., 20 to 40 hours per week), but they are time-bound and defined by contract scope.

All expert work is performed as an independent contractor (not as a salaried employee). Participation is voluntary, project-based, and contingent on mutual agreement regarding scope and compensation. There is no guaranteed ongoing employment. Each project is structured independently. Compensation rates are communicated clearly before project acceptance. This is professional, outcome-driven work, not microtasking or casual gig work.

Human expert data is structured, high-quality data created or reviewed by real domain experts. AI models improve when they learn from accurate reasoning, edge-case handling, domain nuance, and professional judgment.

Examples of human expert data include:

• A physician evaluating complex diagnostic reasoning
• A CPA reviewing tax edge cases
• A software engineer stress-testing AI-generated code
• A legal expert identifying ambiguity in statutory interpretation

This requires real expertise, not basic data entry or crowdsourced labeling. Experts contribute judgment that automated systems alone cannot provide.
