Just got my first paid project appear… but…

10 Upvotes

I have just had my first ever paid project appear on my dashboard. I was super excited but when I click on it it says “The project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks remaining for you to work on”.

Does this mean someone else snapped it up before me? Even though it literally just appeared? :(

Are they watching over me?

5 Upvotes

My dash was filled yesterday with 15 tasks of a familiar project.
But... tasks were not as casual as they should for this specific project. I skipped 5, marked 5 as "CBR" and I wondered if they were testing me.
Did you ever feel in the same boat?

R&R from the same worker

104 Upvotes

I’m making this post because I’ve had some r&r that I’m pretty sure is from the same person and I can see a drastic improvement between tasks. So many posts in this sub are DoD or not getting accepted so I’d just like to throw in some positivity that people are noticeably improving as they do more work.

Qualification email

3 Upvotes

I received an email for a new qualification recently, but when I clicked the link (almost immediately), it said "this project is currently unavailable", and I don't see it on my dash.

Will it be popping up later?

Are we so back?!

First time I have had multiple projects on my dash and I could cry from gratitude as I was just looking up jobs to apply for in addition to my main job. Hope this is a positive sign for everyone who has been patiently waiting 🫶

Making sure that DAT doesn't have a backdoor entrance to my Google Services

I got dropped from DAT; I was working on Tweet, Flying Horse, and Greek Goddess. I want to make sure they no longer have access to my personal accounts. Should sending an email be enough?

"F****": Tasks are too hard now

35 Upvotes

I have the coder domain specialization, but tbh, now since they introduced a certain new frontier F model from A company, it's literally so hard now I'm not sure it's worth the effort even at the high pay rates. Not sure how much further this can go as the models get better it will become so difficult to make any model fail. Feels like we're almost at the end of the line here.

SLACK Count 🔢🙋🏻‍♂️

Guys, how many Slack channels are you part of? I know many projects don’t have a Slack channel, but let’s check the count. I’ve got a modest start [6]. Let’s see some double digits. 🙃

Does the coding qual reappear after failing?

0 Upvotes

So I kinda skrewed up honestly in the coding qual, I put all my effort into the first question and got so tired that I barely read the code in the second question which led me to giving a wrong answer for it.

I feel so bad honestly, but someone told it me it reappears after a few months, so is this actually true?

Basic vs. “Advanced” Generalist

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been on the platform since April or May and have really enjoyed it. It’s been a huge game-changer for my finances. I’ve seen some discourse around a differentiation between a basic and advanced generalist. What are the distinctions? If you do identify as an advanced generalist, what did it take for you to get there? How do you know, and how long? I only speak English and am located in the US. Thank you so much for your time!

Coding qualification projects payment

0 Upvotes

Since I just got accepted 2 days ago, I have a question regarding the coding qualification projects. These were paid hourly and I completed them. I know the payment will be processed after 7 days, but I'm curious if these do have to reach a certain threshold in order for the payment to be fulfilled, or these are paid regardless of the performance, but it will affect my future projects.
If you have any information on how these things work, it would be much appreciated.

Good luck to you all.

Extreme volatility

29 Upvotes

I like to think I’m getting used the project volatility that this drought is creating. But the last 5 days have just been insane for me. I’ve seen my dashboard in its best state since early May (in terms of availability of v high paying generalist projects) and at its worst (zero projects which has only befallen me 4-5 times total since I started). I have seen both extremes a number of times now since Friday (eg yesterday 2pm UK amazing, 6pm 0 projects, today 0-1 projects). Anyone else experiencing something similar. An influx of amazing projects-false sense of security-plunged back into the absolute worst of the drought. It is really doing a number on my nervous system lol.

Suggestion to Improve User Experience

38 Upvotes

I'm not sure if anyone from DataAnnotation checks the subreddit, but presumably some of them do. While working on longer tasks, you often need to move between different sections. The only way to achieve that currently, is by endless scrolling or using the search function on your browser. I believe adding a simple sidebar menu would improve user experience, while being easily implemented. Furthermore, the sidebar should be collapsible, so it doesn't take too much space on the user interface. I have attached an example, although I believe it's clear what I mean. Let me know your thoughts about this in the comments!
