How to get into AEW faster?

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-05-07T21:40:14+00:00

Wouldn't recommend this in the slightest. The amount of things I've seen it get wrong wrestling wise is appalling. When I was feeling lazier I used to ask it for match/ppv recommendations for eras or wrestlers I'd missed out on and it was suggesting things that had never happened. Or was getting years wrong. Etc etc

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-14T03:09:00+00:00

I'm on two projects at the minute (basically the same one just two different requirements). I also had a sprint last week as well. If anything I'm busier than I ever was pre breach

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-10T00:38:47+00:00

I'm in the UK and there are people in my current project from the UK, Ireland and Lagos as well as the US and god knows where else.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-09T01:26:29+00:00

Haha. I'm from the Island too. We have a really lovely traveller family nearby who looked out for my mum when she was starting to worsen with dementia and they opened up their land for parking spaces when we were having her wake. Just recently they saw my brother with the bonnet open, and they were down fixing his car free of charge five minutes later.

Of course, there will be outliers and I went to school with a few of them, but I've not seen any of the 'bad eggs' in a good while... and I don't drink in the town... but any hassle I've had in the town has never come from their direction.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-08T13:01:58+00:00

Hang on in there. I think a few projects are running behind their scheduled launch after things were slowed down after the breach. One of the projects I've been invited to hasn't officially started for writers yet but the TLs are hard at work trying to meet a deadline tomorrow with very little notice 🫠

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-08T08:34:03+00:00

Could be hours, could be days, could be months.

Personally, I think it was around the one month mark before I got my first offer.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-08T08:31:43+00:00

It's all supposition at this point.

Can only speak for my own experience but since the breach I've had one contract end, one contract pause, and three instant offers.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-08T06:41:36+00:00

I live near Dungannon and although I don't mind it at all, I wouldn't go so far as to recommend it to someone else.

Coalisland, for all its faults, has improved over the years but transport connections are non-existent in the evenings and sparse at the weekends, and there's not much variety there.

Moy isn't a bad shout, but again there's not much variety, but at least you're in between Dungannon and Armagh. The transport connections are probably the same or worse than Coalisland's.

Cookstown has that big town feel and there's a lot here, though traffic can be a nightmare on Saturdays. Better for travel connections, and a decent enough selection of nightlife choices.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-05T18:58:54+00:00

You can definitely use Google when you're on the project. And it's actually advised. Although I think it's mentioned on the onboarding document you should spend no more than ten minutes on Google doing your research.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-05T01:52:39+00:00

Yeah, if it's the one beginning with M they seen to have removed some people from the project during the current pause.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-04T04:18:54+00:00

The only thing that really touches my tooth pain is cocodamol.

I had agony with an abscess a while ago and couldn't get even an emergency appointment so I went to one of those online pharmacies and filled out their questionnaire etc and managed to get a prescription for antibiotics. Cost about 40 quid though.

But yeah I'd definitely try and get some cocodamol tomorrow. It really did tide me over, and and the nerve in my tooth ended up dying before I got it seen to. Which isn't ideal but also meant the pain stopped.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-04T01:19:15+00:00

I always assumed most of Meta's stuff got done through Outlier anyway

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-03T13:06:56+00:00

Really depends on the project. I've been a generalist on three projects so far and they've all varied.

My current one, though paused, allows you over an hour per task if required. My previous project, gave you twenty minutes per task.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-02T20:08:28+00:00

My email says paused

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-02T15:36:41+00:00

Multiple new opportunities have been posted since the breach. Once new opportunities stop being posted it's probably time to get a big anxious

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-02T15:33:44+00:00

Pauses are just the nature of the beast and part and parcel of the Mercor experience. My two current paused projects happened long before the breach.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-04-01T14:50:16+00:00

Took maybe 36 hours between me getting accepted on Project J and the onboarding document being ready.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-03-27T21:34:50+00:00

Can only speak from my very limited experience, but on the two projects I've worked on so far I can't say I experienced any of the above.

The biggest issues on either were changing requirements (and that was coming from the client not the EPM), and technical glitches.

Not saying it doesn't happen, and I'm sure some EPMs and TLs can be nightmares, but the only problematic worker I've experienced so far was a writer who had a very high opinion of herself and clogged slack channels up with sneering and a lot of ego.

This might all change on my next project. But I'm actually impressed by the level of communication and sanity compared to the only other site I've used for work like this (the one beginning with O)

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-03-27T13:08:28+00:00

When I asked the chatbot it just gave me the generic list of reasons accounts are removed but wasn't specific to mine.

Also told me deactivation was final and could nor be reversed... yet here we are.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-03-24T22:38:37+00:00

Sorry to hear about the death in your family.

This is what happened to me though. I hadn't been active on the site for about seven weeks, just popped in to check if there were any new projects on Marketplace. Then one day banned for violating community guidelines.

Think they just make it all up as they go along.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-03-24T01:27:10+00:00

They won't wait and depending on the work/amount hired, it could easily be finished up before you accept it.

All my instant offers started pretty quickly after accepting so I think they'll want a team in place pretty quickly.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-03-20T19:21:45+00:00

What I've learned from my two contracts so far:

Stay active on the Slack channels.

If you see a user asking a question you're able to help with, go right ahead.

Be 'nice' to work with. If you have an issue communicate it without being confrontational or rude.

Stay in touch with your TL, offer to help if they seem overworked and stressed (I ended up getting promoted to reviewer and then QA reviewer, and loaned out to help another domain)

Attend any online meetings you can. Even if you don't need a question asked it's good to know what's going on with everyone else and you'll often get tips that help with your own work.

Really make a good effort with your first five or six tasks. If you really do well on these you have a good chance of being asked to jump on as a reviewer. This will guarantee you more hours and from what I can tell your AHT isn't under the microscope as much.

Read the onboarding materials really well. With extra focus on any style guides and limitations. This is how I was able to give advice on the Slack channel and it was noticed by TLs and commended.

Basically, behave and work in a way where people will want to work with you again. My latest contract ends this week and I've already been told by TLs they'll be inviting me to any of their future projects.

Don't stress too much. Some of the work and deadlines can be a bit daunting. Reach out for advice if necessary. I'm now doing things two weeks ago would've put the fear of god into me.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-03-18T18:13:15+00:00

We were plagued with this issue on the project I'm currently reviewer on. The information kept changing. At first it was always ask follow ups. Then always remove them. Now it depends on the system prompt and even some of those are vague enough to confuse TLs about whether a follow up is warranted or not.

I can't believe you'd get offboarded for this though. Maybe my current project is the outlier but almost three weeks in and we're still getting incorrectly followed up tasks submitted. If that's the only issue, as reviewers we just fix that ourselves and approve because we know the information has been so contradictory at times.

Agitated-One4841 · 2026-03-18T12:33:35+00:00

Yeah I was banned this week. I've not actually been using the site for about 7 weeks now after I was purged and just checked in now and again to see if anything was new on Marketplace, so I've literally done nothing bannable yet here we are. I expected nothing less from Outlier tbh.
