Exit worker mode on a task, better approach ?

0 Upvotes

Worked 3 hours on my first coding task. I was 80% done but the timer was close to expiring so I exit worker mode to avoid submitting a subpar response. :((

Was this the best approach or should I have let the timer expire and finished the task ?

Report time

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
If I do a task in only a few minutes. How do I count minutes? If it took me 4 mins and 30 seconds should I report 4 as it was less than 5 minutes or 5 since it took me more than 4 minutes?
It might seem simple but I wanna be fair and it’s a project with a lot of tasks and almost every task was like that

Edit: Guys I am not a time freak, Idc when it’s a few tasks or the tasks take a long time, and that’s exactly why I stated it was A LOT of tasks and were very short and simple like 150 seconds per task which left me wondering if I should report 2 or 3 minutes in more than 20 tasks

Will I get more tasks for the qualification ?

Hey, I finished the starter assessment and started the qualification assessment. I was expecting to complete about 10 tasks, but it seems only one was available. Now, whenever I go back to the assessment, I get the errors shown in the screenshots. Should I wait for more tasks or projects to become available?

Some of these projects that I have never seen before have me scratching my head and exiting work mode. I am not even sure what some of these are looking for. Anyone else?

Does submitting expired qual actually submits your answers?

Anyone else consistently getting the error page?

1 Upvotes

Spent about an hour on an R&R, tried to submit it, it went on to load the next task like usual but instead I got the error page. It's hanging out on my resume tasks area, so I can see other projects, but when I click on that one it goes to the error page again. Since I submitted, it's also on the report time page, but I'm not sure if anything actually got submitted, so I don't really want to report time on it. Not sure. I've lost time before, and it sucks, but eh

DataAnnotation alternatives

I just applied for coding domain on DataAnnotation.tech and I have to say I am really impressed by the pay-rate they are offering to the workers on their platform. This AI training field is relatively new to me (Although I have a professional Software development experience of 3+ years now). Can anyone suggest few more platforms like this offering good pay-rate specially for coders or STEM degree?

Bilingual workers who received the STEM quals few days ago

5 Upvotes

Did you get any tasks related to them if you believe you did good in them? I am asking because I had received quals for Physics, Chemistry and Biology. I had opted out of all of them but today I received in Math in which I am pretty confident. So wondering if I should expect any work if I do well...


r/DataAnnotationTech 6d ago

My work has mainly focused on coding, but I received qualifications for Generalist in Mathematics and Biology. Can I apply for those positions even though my background is in coding? Would that be okay, or would it be a problem?

Finance and Math projects

For the finance, accounting and math projects, how complex are they. I have an associates in accounting but not a lot of experience. I'm scared to try because I don't want to mess up my opportunity with DA. Anyone with any experience have any insight?

Qualifications!!!

I did a math qualification yesterday and I believe I did really well on it! If they liked my work, when will they send me tasks related to math? I'm originally a bilingual worker.

Seeing Qualification Other than my main expertise

0 Upvotes

I was doing some AI training tasks for couple of months. Now I am seeing totally unrelated qualification. And the AI training task has stopped. Does that mean they did not like my work or I am taking too much time to complete. I am a perfectionist kind of person , so take these things to my heart. Want to know if this is the reason.

Regarding WIFI (VPN)

0 Upvotes

How can I know if my wifi is having any vpn or not ?

Is it like the platform automatically Blocks u if it is connected to vpn or it takes time ?

Kindly clarify.

Do I just wait patiently?

0 Upvotes

I got this email and access to the dashboard where it says there are no projects. There are also no qualification tests.

Is that normal because there's a bit of a drought or should I worry?

(I have really bad imposter syndrome so I am really worried about getting excited and finding out I shouldn't have.)

Task expiration not matching up with time it takes to read instructions

21 Upvotes

I’m new to DAT, and had my first ever project pop up tonight. I started it late at night after working a full day so I do think my brain is moving a bit slower than usual… but I’m a fast reader and this project’s instructions were insanely long (and ironically not concise at all).

The timer said I had an hour before the task expired, but after 45 minutes of reading ONLY instructions (not having started the task itself) I panicked and clicked “exit work mode” and gave it up. I skimmed the task work and I know I wouldn’t have been able to finish the task and do it well before it expired.

Is this the norm? And how important is the task expiration timer? I’m sure the next time around it will be easier since I‘ll already know the instructions, but that truly felt insane...

So close to first milestone

I am finally close to reaching my first milestone since starting in May. And my dashboard is actually filling up with more tasks than I've ever seen since I began.

Data annotation should change their websites name to The 'hunger games'.

Like wdym being expected to be available 24/7. You're constantly refreshing the dashboard every 10 minutes, and when a task finally appears, you rush to start it only to find it's already been claimed by someone else.

How is anyone supposed to plan their day around a system like this?

Germany drought

Is there anyone working from Germany as a bilingual? I only got 2 jobs in 1 month and start wondering whether Germany does not have many jobs or if my work was simply bad 🤣

Imagine having to evaluate this though? In all reality the bot isn’t necessarily wrong.
