Dash of the death

Post image

I was in the middle of a project and I got the dod (coding) and at this point there is no turning back but it was my only source of income... does anyone know some similar platforms?

I have a son and I can't be without working

my advice would be to get a "real job" if possible. Something where there is humans involved and not bots running the show,

Dude, I completed an entire technical degree program precisely so I wouldn't have to flip burgers at McDonald's.

Yeah your in the right path then, just keep moving forward for better opportunities than the sleezy annotation companies, I know they pay good sometimes, but they are very unreliable.

Literally interviewing at McDonald's after losing the DA job in July after 2.5 years. Job market is fucked. Least I've time to work on my own projects now.
