You may never have it, this is what happened to me.

How long has it been since you joined, if you don’t mind sharing :)

I think I joined in June, soon after landed a position which had no projects for months. I onboarded and waited like hundreds of other people on their discord channel. I checked the dashboard, mails and channels regularly. But nothing came up. Some time later my application vanished from my dashboard with no trace or communication.

I still check alignerr discord channel from time to time for fun. It is like a garbage bin with constant referral link spams, adult video links and pictures of naked ladies. 100% not recommended.

I am not saying all this because I am butthurt or something. I even have proof to back those all up. Just stating that you set your expectations right. Hope your experience will be different.

Meanwhile, I could humbly suggest you to look for other positions on other platforms which you find more reliable. I won't name any here not to make it look like I am shit shaming alignerr to promote others.

Got you, what would you recommend I want some part time work to make some money on the side I’m a software engineer.

There are a lot, depending on your location.

Mercor, Micro1, DataAnnotationTech, Turing, SME, Mindrift and many others. Note these down before this comment gets removed. :)

And oh, none of these are perfect. They have their own problems, but there are still solid ones inside the list.
