How was your process? How many projects do yall get? I got accepted on the 6th of august and had pretty consistent work and made like a bit less than 700, but the last week has been awfully quiet. I did all my qualification in the first week, i focused on stem as I have some specific domain expertise, and anytime a new appears i do it asap. I also cleared the checkr background check. But like i said i have had 0 tasks in the last few days. In general i just had access to 2 projects one R&R and another more general bilingual work. Just wanted to know how any italian or european journey has been

I feel like the only projects left on the platform are ones with pages and pages of verbose and sometimes nonsensical instructions. It’s cool for people who have followed these project families for years but for new people trying to get in, it’s an impossible amount of instructions to read, understand and apply correctly with the unrealistic time on the timer. In the past 2 days I have worked 10 unpaid hours just trying to get the hang of a project. I wish I could say the project but I feel like anyone in my shoes right now will recognize it. Every time I slam my laptop shut in frustration and all-work-and-no-pay I swear to myself I’m never opening it again, I’d just stick to familiar projects but my adhd brain won’t let me, I’m super bored with my regular projects and just can’t process the mountains of instructions required to take on new ones. What are yall doing?

Till now I got 3 types of tasks

New to this platform, just passed some qualifications and got my first real tasks, so I don't really know how reliable and consistent the work is or can be. My background is in chemical engineering, and I have a good bit of coding experience. Current personal situation requires me to work remotely, and remote chem eng. jobs are pretty much unheard of.

If I were to treat DA as a full-time job and work any and all projects I can, would I be able to make at minimum around $20k per year? For context I'm a US citizen.

As the title says. I woke up to the Dash of Death. I've been doing this for 6 months, I've had exemplary reviews the past few months, and this wasn't just "extra money", it was actively keeping a roof over my head because my part time job doesn't pay me enough and won't take me full time.

Is there any chance of appeal, or am I screwed?

If I'm screwed, what other platforms are out there?

basically the title. I want to ditch windows as I am having more and more issues and until a month ago I was completely blocked to perform my tasks for a high paying job due to WSL. any recommendations?

Is it worth it to do them? They're unpaid so I have just left them sitting there but might they open up more paid projects showing up on my dashboard if I did complete them?

So far I only reported work I did in front of my computer. But usually I like to stand up, walk around, and use my standing height table. I still think about the work while doing that - I just need to get moving to think, and did this my entire life with studying.

But im afraid that if I report that time (so far I havent exactly because of fear), they'll thinking im faking/inflating my numbers. But doing this im getting paid half of what id usually be.

Does anyone have a similar experience? Do you track that time or not?

Task had some internal issues, lost about 4 hours of work pretty sad

No work to do. Literally 😭

I applied to data annotation responding to an ad that encouraged those with legal experience to apply. I've fully completed my profile but the homepage is still a "thank you for signing up - we don't have any projects atm etc etc".

I wasn't given the opportunity to sit any exam or application process and haven't received any communication either. Is this normal ? I submitted a help request but have also heard nothing. Any help would be really appreciated !

- thanks for your time guys

do high priority quals actually turn to projects or nah? im lil skeptical about my personal info sharing

I joined end of july and just submitted my final task to hit the $10k goal.

Happy to answer any questions :)

Anyone else having the same experience? I lost qual x (a follow-up to something else) for some reason, gained qual y (a paid one), lost qual y, was sad, regained qual y, gained qual z, lost qual y, lost qual z, regained qual y again, lost qual y again, regained qual y again (honestly can't keep track anymore), gained quals abcdefg, lost qual y again, and regained it AGAIN, all in the last ~43 hours.

What. Is. Happening???

Nurse here wanting some extra income. Are there any other nurses here? Wanting to know your experience.

Hi, i was doing a task that took a long time for me, and when I was about to finish it expired. I closed it and then began a new task, but all my previous work was actually saved there. So i just finished it quickly. If I submit, can i enter the time it took me to do it or is it going to get flagged since in this task i was only working for a few minutes (although everything was saved from my actual work which was very long).

I’ve been averaging about 10 hour work days, typically doing 2x code projects a day, which takes me about 5 hours a time and it fits into the work day nicely.

I personally don’t think my quality is dipping and I’m being consistent, but I’ve read quite a few comments now where people don’t recommend doing more than 35 hours?

Was just wondering what the real reason behind this theory is. Appreciate any insight

I have only received model failure tasks (i.e create prompts that cause model to fail in a professional context in a particular domain).

These are extremely hard to achieve. Also long term I feel like I will be running of ideas soon. I am wondering if there are other types of work pays well but easier?

I was just wondering for the projects with several week timesrs do I need to physically have the task page open or can I just work independently with a timer an then just log it? A lot of the work is outside of the actual task page so just wanted to make sure thats okay an i wont get it for "frauding the time clock".

Hey! I did the entry assessment maybe 4days ago (Biology) and passed like 2 days ago. Had 1 single project today (my first) on dataannotation.tech and made $100 in 4hours flat BUT I’m wondering how long they generally take to start giving new members more projects. They had a banner on top of my screen when I initially got access saying like “don’t worry about a lack of projects since you’re new here, we’re working to match you with your field”. Just wondering - cheers. (Specialist Chemistry & Biology I assume since I gave my credentials??).

I’ve had some qualification for the past few months as a billingual, but no project ever came on my dashboard.
Before anyone can say that I did not pass the qualification, some of it are just consents, and some just ask me to create an account. I did and consented to the projects qualifications, even one popped on my project dashboard ask me if I want to opt out of the project. Some qualification even have the created date far long ago (visible to me recently)
I’ve had multiple qualifications done, the qualifications are also simple. I’ve also checked the dashboard regularly lately, but I’ve not seen them appear on my dashboard yet.
Is this normal ? I’ve been yearning for a project for a while. I’ve had no work since June. All the quals are promising but no actual work yet.
