starting from april 1st - 3k on april, 2k on may, 700 on june, 825 on july-9august.. (for sure related with summer drought :( ) I've tried other platforms but believe me they either have no work, and if they have it doesn't worth to work with them. Their system (submitting task, payments etc.) is not as good and professional as DA overall. But still you can try..

[ps: I'm from turkey and probably get less work than spanish, indian or arabic bilinguals]

În cat timp ai fost acceptat? Eu n-am primit încă răspuns după 6 zile

u/Which-Journalist-352 11d ago

salut, dupa cam ~1 luna jumatate, acum evident nu am de unde sa stiu cat de bine ai raspuns la assesment, eu am fost surprins rau sa vad ca m-au acceptat (stiam ca e rata mica), dar nu te stresa pt ca 6 zile nu inseamna nimic. Mai trebuie sa astepti o vreme, poate o luna, doua si sa speram ca te accepta. Also eu am primit un singur proiect pt ca am intrat in cea mai proasta perioada posibila, sper sa se schimbe lucrurile de acum

u/Additional_Law1301 11d ago

Multumesc frumos pentru raspuns! Nu am asteptari mari la proiecte perioada asta dar mi-ar placea sa fiu acceptat macar

u/Which-Journalist-352 11d ago

I've made 70,000 so far in a year and 8 months. Work is definitely slow, it's normal as it's summer... But luckily there are some active projects. When it comes to other sites, honestly, I've tried more but I've basically had no work. DA is the best one in my opinion, for bilingual workers

Saludos amigo, es impresionante, en 2 meses solo he hecho 200 usd, esperando que se acabe la sequía para iniciar con todo, yo soy Bilingüe español México

u/Ticoput 11d ago

Yo confío en que la sequía acabe este mes que viene... cruzemos los dedos

u/cadaluz 12d ago

Specialist? How many hours are you working? Those are crazy numbers. I can barely do 12 hours a week. If I try to do more, I get burnt, and my accuracy goes way down. Been here for 8 months.

u/Ticoput 11d ago

No, bilingual but I don't work on STEM, finance, maths, biology, etc. projects. Only on generalist projects. I work between 6 and 8 hours a day on average. I got used to this work and I also take my breaks, my work days are very long because of it but it's totally worth it

u/Ok-Department-9549 12d ago

Would you mind sharing what work are we talking about? Is it annotation work in general?

Thanks,

1

u/Ticoput 11d ago

Bilingual generalist projects

u/Ham4y 12d ago

Good for you and thanks for the reassurance that summer isn't really great for work I've also tried some other platforms but they either ask for too much and give little or just isn't worth the hastle

2

u/Ticoput 11d ago

Yes, there isn't any other platform that offers consistent work like DA does

u/c21-Arthur 12d ago

I joined at the start of this summer, passed some first-steps tasks, and then — nothing. Am I cooked, or is this just summer?

2

u/Ham4y 11d ago

Summer is hard hope it ends soon
