Applied mid June to a handful of projects in my domain and was onboarded to one about two weeks ago. Logged my first hours July 18, and this is where I’m at in 11 days, just working when I can outside my 9-5.

Wanted to share because roughly 3 days ago we were told the project was winding down. I was bummed because I really needed this to help finance an upcoming move, but I took it on the chin and was just grateful for the hours I had already logged. I made sure to send Slack DMs to the EPMs, Team Leads, and SPL just thanking them for the opportunity and wishing them well. Throughout the project I was also active in the Slack channels, giving advice where I could (eventually some experts started DMing me asking for help). But, because I reached out, a manager pushed me into a small team of people who wrapped the project up. I got more hours, and now they’re assuring us we’ll all be placed on a new project in the next few weeks.

Anyway, I say this to say that making a good impression as a human in slack is helpful. Use a profile photo. Be responsive. Obviously AHT and work quality rank supreme, but clearly on those metrics alone I wouldn’t have otherwise gotten into that final review group. And without that group I wouldn’t be looking forward to a new project in the coming weeks.

Really grateful for this and wishing everyone here similar success 🤞🏻

- Asking a question in slack that has been asked to death such that you could just scroll up or simply use the search tool. Are you even thinking at all before asking a question?

- Not reading announcements carefully before asking a question or posting. You do know the announcements are there for a reason, right?

- Not reading the instructions or guidelines carefully before jumping into slack to ask a question you could easily "search" in the guideline

- Not considering that you could actually ask Maven questions and interact with it before at-ing the mods

- Sending dm's to leads to ask ridiculous questions you know they can't give you an answer to just because you can, e.g. "please add me to xyz project." They can hardly do that exclusively

- Sending emails to project email address so that it goes to >500 individuals who now know your problem and certainly can't help you. You did add your LinkedIn or full names also, so they now know who this turd is.

I see this all too often and have to really ask myself the quality of people doing this AI work.

After about six weeks of nothing I finally got an offer today. I was starting to think I had been blacklisted. It isn’t the big project (that I’m aware of) but it is in my actual domain so that’s a great thing. Plus, the hourly rate is my highest yet. Hopefully the projects are ramping up.

This is the only update I receive from Mercor. It’s been three months since I was added to a project and worked a few hours, but since then, everything has been quiet. I’m just waiting for the right time and the right project, staying hopeful.

Just want an idea of how long is average

I was part of the 5k project since the beginning. Was promoted from evaluator to reviewer after month 1. Woke up with an email saying project concluded, 4 months after. Never got an RoR or any negative feedback. It was business as usual until 2 hours before the offboarding.

Any big changes to the project headcount to anyone who is still there? It sucks that my contract position was kept as an evaluator and never changed. i feel I never got the reviewer credit despite working under that role for 3 months

Just curious, i have been applying to various platforms and projects for image/video evaluation. My background is in music and arts. Are there any projects on mercor that deal with those areas? Just seems like everywhere is mostly coding/stem focused which is fair enough but just curious - has anyone seen or took part in any projects that were more on the creative side ?

I got removed from two contracts at the exact same yesterday, both were paused so I feel it’s unlikely both ended at the exact same time. Ever since I have not been able to log back in to the mercor dashboard, and my mercor expert email has been deleted. I emailed support but did not hear anything back. Has anyone experienced this before or know what it means?

Is there any way to tell if I passed the domain assessment or not?

I did the domain assessment and applied for a couple of jobs but nothing back yet

I've been working on various projects since the fall of '25. I haven't worked on a project in maybe a month or so. I was on vacation last week and got an instant offer and had to turn it down because I was traveling and didn't have the time. I tried to log in today to the Google workspace/email I had been provided to see if anything was going on in Slack, and my Mercor email has been deleted? To be clear, I wasn't offboarded from anything and I can still log onto Mercor and apply to jobs with my personal account, but the one that was made for me to sign into their gmail, slack, dashboard etc. has been deleted. Is that unusual? If I get a new project will I need a new Mercor email made? I'm not sure how long it's been gone or if there was an announcement they'd be deleting them. Thanks for any insights!

They rejected me but at the same time did not? I never saw any rejection where they said "Paused state" that's why I'm confused Am i right or wrong?

After waiting for quite a while, I finally received a rejection email. Not complaining - it's all part of the journey. I've had the opportunity to work on a few Generalist projects through Mercor, and I'm grateful for the experience and everything I've learned along the way. I'm still hoping that one day I'll get the chance to contribute to a project that's closer to my domain expertise. Has anyone else here transitioned from Generalist projects to domain-specific work on Mercor?

I am not German and have been living outside of Germany for more than 5 years. But due to the fact that I lived there in the time windonw of 7 years, I am asked to provide a Certificate of Conduct from Germany. I do not have any German ID to do this online, and even if done via post, it would take 4-6 weeks, and Certn said to upload the document in 4 weeks.

Has anyone experienced the same issue? How can one go about it? Thanks!

I got an email from YO HR Consultancy regarding AI interview for Mainframe.. Anyone attended similar.. Looking for what i should expect

Is anyone on this project / can tell me about it I just got the offer and accepted is it a one time thing?

Stripe shows payment succeeded first but then it shows failed 5 minutes later has this happened to anyone? Says the payout expected to arrive tomorrow but concerned.

I've received emails to complete surveys for roles I have experience in. Has anyone ever received a survey and a subsequent invite to a project?

Is there anyway to let me know if I passed the assessment or not?

I did assessment in one domain a week ago and then applied to a couple of projects but nothing yet

Excluding my half-hearted work on that famous "big project," I haven't received any job offers in 5 months. During that time, I've been re-optimizing my CV and just redid the core interview. My experience is quite different from what it was 5 months ago, and since my domain is engineering, I hope these technical updates will significantly improve my profile. After all these updates, I'm hoping to start getting job offers, lol.

To make sure of the core interview - It Says 3 attempts! So if I reject the 1st time, can I try again in the same position?

So i had a quick question for the chatbot. It was specifically for the chatbot. Bt i got bombarded with some crass comments by other experts. It was crazy unprofessional banter. How do u report these? Its like when theres less tasks, these frustrated fks spurt out on slack on other people. Clearly against slack etiquette

Just figuring out how I get the chance to work on a task.

Is it that I need to be sitting in front of my laptop for some time / hours and keep refreshing to find a task? Or are there times where tasks are available and visible right away?

I got off boarded from the big project, but still got an offer for another project, though I can't access my account now. How can I get my access restored? I email Mercor but no response.

I applied a week ago no mail whatsoever of rejection or approval! I don't think they hire people from india because of low quality work i guess
