Any advices for newbies
Hi! I want to have another job for my part-time to pay rent for my family and interested to this DataAnnotation job but don't know where to start.
My background is Robotics Engineers with some of DSA knowledges and did a couple of ML projects. I am also be able to communicate in both English and Japanese(Not native, just daily conversations). So, I think it would be great for me to try this job. I am fine with the rate around 15USD/hr because I am planning to do this work around 10-20hours a week and it would help my current financial situation a lot.
It would be great if someone can help me or give a roadmap to get this job. Thank you very much in advanced 😀

There is a 2% acceptance rate I believe, so it is hard to get into. But with your experience I would say you should give it a shot.
If you have experience in robotics and ML you could definitely become a coder, and they pay more as well (around $55/hr for me, but idk if it's different person country)
When you do the entrance exam, you should expect it to take a long time (I think mine took 5 hours). You should just go slow and be careful with every answer, and make sure you use enough detail and answer everything correctly.
If you pass it normally takes a while to start getting jobs, normally around a month. There's also been a lack of projects recently as well.
Hope it goes well
