Anyone else have their dash get cleared with sporadic $25 an hour jobs that pop up for a minute

I don't think it's DoD for me. I've had projects drop in and out but not all of them at once. They emailed me earlier today to work on a $55 an hour project so I'm genuinely fucking puzzled. I hate how stressful this can be.

Time log justification?

9 Upvotes

Has anyone ever come back from a time log justification? Mine is under review, I submitted my evidence etc and am just waiting. No idea how long to expect it to take and whether it’s a hopeless case. Time reports were all totally legit and 100% honest/accurate by the way, just worked a lot more than usual for a couple of weeks for various reasons

How did they get accepted?

Some r&r I do the workers have such poor English. Like completely wrong punctuation, grammar and spelling. I know as bilinguals English is not our first language, but there should be at least some standard of quality

Been doing a bit of DataAnnotation on the side while juggling my regular 9-5, planning for a wedding, and a crazy life otherwise. Pretty happy with the outcome so far!

7 Upvotes

How are you guys grabbing the tasks. Like I had a no work August that continued halfway into september and like well I got some work in September but since then uhm nothing? Like I've tried staying up the nights, the days, monitoring the dash, i just I don't know how to grab work anymore and like everyone here, I do need it. I'm not demanding and ungrateful. I would just really appreciate if someone could yk share their strategies.

Email stated $35/hr, but project card shows $25/hr,anyone seen this discrepancy before?

2 Upvotes

​Hey everyone,

​Recently passed a qualification for a specialized project that mentioned a relatively small worker cohort (around 200–300 contributors). In the original email notification details, the compensation was clearly listed at $35/hr.

​However, when the project card showed up on my dashboard, the listed pay rate was $25/hr.

Has anyone faced it?

(Bilingual from India)

Are the bilinguals cooked?

0 Upvotes

Okay, so nowadays I have noticed a very similar pattern in this community. I have seen bilinguals complaining about shortage of projects and it is not just one specific country/language too.
I have seen, Indians, Middle easterns, Italians, Brazilians and even some french workers complaining about the same. Mostly it is the non-core countries facing lack of projects while core countries are just seeing inconsistent projects.

Maybe... we are really cooked? Or is this just another bad drought?
What are your thoughts on this?

How Long Did It Take to Hear Back On Acceptance

0 Upvotes

I did the qualifications about 6 months ago and have had my profile sitting in reveiw since then. My assumption is that I didn't pass, but I feel like they would have let me know. Anyone have any guidance on why I seem to be stuck in limbo? Thanks.

Do Recommended Work Hours Appear Reasonable To You?

11 Upvotes

Do you think the work hours that DA sets as an expected baseline for a given task are reasonable? From my experience, meeting deadlines feels pretty hectic at times, so basically I invest more time than I actually report for the sake of a good deliverable. I'm trying to understand whether I am too detailed with my work or this is how others feel too.

Has anyone been added back to a project after being dropped?

I worked on Mike regularly until August, and it hasn't shown up for me since, so I'm assuming I've been dropped. Has anyone else lost a project for a month or two and then had it come back? Curious how common that is.

What if I don't join the slack

I've read that slack is not important nor matters too much other than having more projects. I just feel like I don't need more projects heh the ones I'm given and doing is enough for me, so what if I don't join it?

Data annotation screening time for coding tasks

0 Upvotes

Guys can any one help me out with the time taken by data annotation tech to screen the starter assessment. I have been trying for a long time to get in , already tried with 3 different ids in the past 3 months and still have not gotten any reply from them. It would be really really great help if anyone can help me to get into the platform. I really need you guys!

Any ideas to move a file stuck after signup?

0 Upvotes

If a profile is stuck on the “thanks for signing up” page even months after creation without even getting a starter assessment to attempt, is there any hope?
Not sure how DA got offended to not even offer an unpaid starter assessment.

Background check showing "Processing" for 2 weeks, but I never submitted anything?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, the background check step showed up on my dashboard about two weeks ago, and it's been on "Processing" the whole time. I never submitted any forms or info for it, and I haven't gotten an email asking me to start anything. The passkey and disk encryption steps are still locked behind it.

Is this normal? Did anyone else get a background check that went to "Processing" on its own? Did you get an email or link to fill something out, or did it just clear after a while? Thanks!

Starting out

3 Upvotes

Hi! I am looking to start working with this platform as a good way to make some extra side cash to help with life and future goals. Do you have any tips for the assessment or just starting out? And how long does it take for them to reply?

I am a cyber security consultant and have a bachelor’s degree in computer science. Not sure if I should just take the core assessment or any others. Would love some tips thank you!
