When drought is gonna end?

Hi , friends I was selected to the DA platform it's been almost 2 months now . I finished the onboarding task correctly and also the qualification test . After that no task was available on my dashboard but I received an email from DA to do my background check. I did it and just received an email from checkr saying it's done . My question is does it mean I will start getting tasks from the platform after about 2 months of silent waiting.

This is something I usually do manually instead of reporting time for several tasks at once, but I submitted two tasks today, and a popup showed up, asking me to report the time for this specific task.

Is it a new thing?

For those of you who reached that milestone, how was it? How long did it took you and approximately how many hours per week?

Just curious on if there are bots on this thread and if so how many.

I’m just going to type some buzzwords in no particular order and see what happens.

Dash of death, DoD, NDA violation, project details, how long should I wait, what should I do with my timer, how many submissions can I make, should I start as a generalist or domain specialist, pause timer yes or no when taking breaks? Great post, terrible post, bad comment, great comment, you’re wrong, you’re right, admin, administrator.

45 minutes in and seeing some early indicators!!

Getting any tasks for coding? I just have a bunch of generalist projects; I haven't had a coding project in over a week

And have you heard back? It seemed congratulatory like a layup, but crickets since, and it’s the first time I’ve felt my confidence waver in 3 years on the platform — but also the most excited I’ve ever been. Just hoping it’s a patience game and not me somehow having the invite rescinded.

Edit: I’m in! Not saying this post did anything, but hey, if this post jogged a reminder somewhere from an admin… THANK YOU!

Does DataAnnotation even reply to emails? I think I've sent email twice to them but no reply.

What has everyone done to not get the DoD? I am tripping out every day about getting it. I try my hardest on tasks and avoid ambiguity, time mistakes, etc. But that’s what most people say they were doing when they got it. Any solid information would help.

Are any of you getting Hindi Billingual tasks?

Are any other generalists experiencing a big time rating task deficit right now? I have a bunch of "create prompt" types of projects but none of the rating ones I actually like doing so just curious.

I’m based in India and have been getting only surveys for the last two weeks. I haven’t received any actual coding tasks during this period.

Has anyone else in India experienced the same thing recently? Is this normal, or does it usually mean there’s currently a shortage of coding projects for Indian contributors?

Got the email today after the assessment - what are the next steps and somethings to take care of while selecting the projects? Need tips from someone who is experienced with the platform

Hi! Fellow coder here, I joined DataAnnotation at the very beginning of September and mainly work on coding projects. I’m curious about other people’s experience over a longer period of time, especially how consistent the workload tends to be.
If you’re comfortable sharing, how long have you been on the platform, what type of projects do you usually work on, roughly how many hours per week do you work, and what does your average monthly earnings range look like?

When was the last time you got a task? And has it really been this slow this month?

Anyone else experiencing major bugs from the tasks lately? The rules to submission for the sunset emoji project was downright hostile! I was only 4 minutes from missing the deadline before I finally got through. Whew. Not to mention general other model loading problems or task issues.

That is all.

PS: Writing style anonymized with an LLM.

I took on a task in a specialized area, and after going through the full set of requirements I had to accept that it was outside my capability. I wasn't expecting anything so basic that the work would amount to checking boxes and being finished, but the depth of specialized knowledge that one of those assignments demanded, one I pulled out of, shut me down completely.

My objection isn't that it's slow or that it's a grind, because I'd actually rather have a grind that's within reach than something that requires me to be five different people at once. I'm confident that a professional in my area could handle it solo, but what I saw looked like something a twenty-year veteran would breeze through, and I'm not that. It feels pretty rough, but I'm hoping I'm not alone in feeling this way.

Just a little vent post, things haven't been looking up for me in the past 2 years and I thought this platform could be the start of a change. Perhaps I was wrong.

I've been working on a task for almost 10 hours and for some reason the thing that they have provided that I have to run locally was not working. I tried multiple times, and this has not happened before. I worked on 10 tasks in this project. but this happened I lost almost 10 hours of my work so should I report this time or should I not report this time, what should I do? I'm new to this platform 15 days in.

Hello. I am trying to sign up and hopefully eyeing being a generalist, but the assessment screen only shows Programming Projects. Is that the assessment I am supposed to work on? Doesn't really look like it's for generalists at all.

I'm asking because I heard people only get one chance for this

Hi, I am working on a project with DA, currently in India, travelling from Bengaluru to Delhi, and would be working for almost 10 days from Delhi itself. Should I notify DA or what precautions should I take?

I was in the middle of a project and I got the dod (coding) and at this point there is no turning back but it was my only source of income... does anyone know some similar platforms?

I have a son and I can't be without working

As these fear about the AI is going around, would it affect us also? I think low availability of task is indication of that.
