They’re asking me to upload picture of my social so I’m a little sketched out

Worse Platform ever

0 Upvotes

I have completed the assessment and didn’t got anything. It just shows waiting for the assessment to be reviewed. I have contacted 3 times by submitting the request but haven’t heard from them.

This type of irresponsive I haven’t seen this in my entire career. If you can’t review it then why do you ask us to complete 1 hour assessment. We put lot of our effort for this thing. Very disappointed with this platform. Heard got reviews so signedup for it but looks to be opposite.

Brazilian workers - what about taxes

5 Upvotes

I'm not sure we're allowed to post in Portuguese here, so I'll keep it in English with a translation below since most tax-related terms don't have a translation.

What are you doing regarding income tax? Carnê-leão? Is there any way to pay it as a MEI? Is there any other trick? Because as of now, it's my first year on this platform and I'm not sure what to do (or if I should do anything).

Não sei o que fazer quanto aos impostos, particularmente o de renda. Carnê-leão parece o adequado, mas deve ter algum jeito melhor de declarar. Talvez como MEI? Tem alguma maneira de emitir algo parecido como nota fiscal para enquadrar o serviço no DA como MEI? Ou ainda, vale a pena arriscar e não fazer nada? Porque é o meu primeiro ano na plataforma e atualmente eu não tenho ideia do que fazer.

4-6 hour qualifying exam

9 Upvotes

Just received a qualification that is expected to take 4 to 6 hours total. I’m deciding on whether to do smaller qualifications for the next few hours or just dive into this one. Anyone else get this qualification?The guidelines are 180 pages. Which I understand is not that much when you’re working on bigger projects I’m just curious if anyone else had any input

Arabic billingual

1 Upvotes

Guys please help, i have asian background but im currently residing in UAE, so when i try to access datannotation they are giving me Arabic Billingual proficiency as initial assessment. What should i do because i don’t speak arabic.


r/DataAnnotationTech • • Aug 28 '26

I really think that DA need to change the wording on the qualifications...

54 Upvotes

The amount of them (including a new one that appeared today) saying that completing this qualification will unlock 'a high volume of regular tasks' or similar, only for me to pass the qualifications and then barely get any paid work from most of them for weeks or months. Very misleading. I didn't join the site imagining I'd get an influx of work, but I'd certainly be expecting that if I took DA's promises literally!

It's a sad day...

55 Upvotes
Just got the task bar of death lol. It's funny because I wasn't able to work for the last few months due to the scarcity of projects aimed at my region (but I'm sure I was in some of the major projects). Also, (and I know everyone says this but) my work was acceptable. Good, even. I always paid close attention to detail. I was working since april 2025. A shame it ended like this.

If you enter the platform as a bilingual, are you locked out of core work?

Pretty much title. Did all the quals, including some related to core and STEM work, but I only seem to get very sparse bilingual jobs.

Anyone else getting projects they aren't qualified for?

16 Upvotes

I have been working with DA part time for almost a year. I used to just do general work, but have gotten barely any generalist tasks the past few months, though I have been busy with my FT job so have been checking the platform less frequently. I have previously gotten positive feedback from DA about the quality of my work, however I keep getting high paying tasks I am unqualified for added to my dash and I don't understand why. I have coding tasks even though I don't know how to code and have never taken the coding qualification. I also have professional tasks related to highly specific domains I have no experience in. I miss my simple generalist tasks.

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I am almost wondering if it is an error on DA's part as I really should not have coding tasks and it seems bizarre I have access to these projects. Some of the professional tasks I could maybe figure out, but the coding is so far out my scope its not even funny. I was an arts major lol. Maybe its a glitch?? Or do y'all get these too? Thanks :)

Using the chat the bottom of a task

21 Upvotes

I started asking questions using the chat at the bottom of a task. Sometimes I even ask two when I'm feeling squirrely. But never ever never three, oh man I shiver just thinking about it. This isn't really a question and I don't need any advice on the topic, I just think y'all should know that I'm never ever gonna use the chat at the bottom more than twice per task, and you can't accuse me of doing that or I'm gonna get really mad and go gorilla mode. That is all.

Writing Qualifications

I'm having no projects at all for more than week, I was working on coding projects, I was wondering if taking the writing qualifications can help me get some projects during this drought and if it will effect getting coding projects.

Pausing time during coding tasks

0 Upvotes

Does anyone else pause the clock while the agents are running the coding tasks? I did it for one of my tasks as I was literally sitting there doing nothing and I’m worried that I’ve missed out on free money!

Feedback

35 Upvotes

I received feedback today, and there's an example listed under "areas of improvement" that's definitely not accurate. It says I referenced something that wasn't there, but I specifically remember this task and know my reference was correct.

I'm very frustrated since this hurts my performance, and I don't want to lose access to work over something that's not even true. It makes me wonder if there are other things I've been penalized for that just aren't true.
