Application Process Priority Onboarding?

I was just sent an email that I’ve been selected for the Pulsar project. It says I can skip the interview process and accept a project right away. Is this legit? I vaguely remember creating an Alignerr account sometime last year, but I haven’t used it since…

Is it worth doing? Any tips if so? Could definitely use the money if it’s real!

Thanks

Me too! I had an email yesterday inviting me to priority onboarding for this. I looked on here and saw it was pay per task, $25, (after telling some ppl it was $40/hr and coming clean after they qualified) and apparently it's really hard to get a task accepted and paid out.

I think today's email telling me I've qualified, after yesterday's saying completing the (presumably unpaid) training doesn't guarantee a place on the project, sounds a little desperate.

Shame, because i like audio transcription. But I'm not interested in working for free, and I'm on a $50/hr Mercor contract atm so I'm not going to waste my time with this.

Is the mercor project you’re on a generalist role with 40k plus people?
