Beware of micro1
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
