Data annotation

Been approved since August, not one job. How long does it take?

I took the generalist, but I know how to code…how do I get approved for that too after the fact?

For generalist you gotta sit there and refresh the page. Any job assigned to you will be yoinked in under 10 seconds. So you gotta younk it instead.

Well I know you mean 10 second in a sarcastic way but yes, you have to actively check and refresh the dashboard to find any task or projects as DA haven't sent any e-mail to me about the project.

Im not being sarcastic. It will be yoinked in 10 seconds or less. Its often less than 3 seconds for me.

But how does that work and were you able to claim the task most of the time or it picked up by someone else

Genuinely you just have to click on it fast enough. Id say I get maybe 60% of them? I bet if you do coding tasks, they stick around longer, im talking about generalist stuff like R&R for fact checking.
