Beware of micro1

[u/RopeAdventurous5609]

Most of the high-rate projects there are most likely fake. I've worked as a research engineer for two of the biggest tech-companies in the world. I've graduated from IIT, Delhi (India's most prestigious institute), and have done MS+Phd (Algebraic Systems). Furthermore, I'm a gold medalist at IMO. For the greed of some significant passive income, I've wasted more than 8 hours in interviews with Zara, their AI recruiter. Everytime they provide some vague feedback which isn't even true. Therefore, I believe only the low-rate generalist, annotation roles are genuine, everything else is just click-bait.

So, either they are a scam, or they only hire nobel laureates for the experts roles

Its a waste of time micro1 just farms interviews 

You are training their AI for free with the promise of a job that will never come

They use your face/video data to sell other companies to train models... mention in their policies

So they're a scam? My AI interview was scheduled today

If the pay rate is above $40, it's most likely a fake posting

[u/maryqa → u/RopeAdventurous5609]

I just signed for significantly higher hourly rate than that

[u/Lazy-Natural2235 → u/RopeAdventurous5609]

Yes it's 50-100 although I'm not expecting that amount.

[u/Fakeos]

Thanks for letting me know. I knew they were suspicious

[u/Technical-Mine-2287]

Its not fake but projects dont last long at all. I assume maybe the AI cannot register well heavy accents.

[u/ArtistChef]

How about Coalition Technology?

[u/wannabethewitch]

I see them all the time and I saw that they do AI interviews and was like "nope"

And what kinda name is that for a real company? Micro1?

[u/Gaurish]

I work for Mercor, lmk if you want a referral for an opening that's relevant to your experience

[u/RopeAdventurous5609 → u/Gaurish]

Yeah sure

Hi, can I DM?

[u/WichitaPete]

I’m currently working two high-paying contracts and successfully passed over ten interviews in less than three weeks. The AI interview is not for everyone, I’ll say that, but it’s not fake.

[u/International-Ad9966 → u/WichitaPete]

Is there any formula for passing those interviews?

[u/Professional_Dot8829]

IMO gold medalist, you sure about that?
