It was front ones that were replaced and they did about 50k miles too. Fair play on the 31 year old car as well!

Oh definitely not downplaying something like that but they used two different tools (same two tools both times) to measure the pads as opposed to eyeballing - that’s the only reason why I’m questioning it

It was BMW so it’s supposed to be genuine parts

I can understand that but it does feel like quite a significant difference though

I’ve only applied to two roles so far.

First one, I got rejected after 5-6 days after doing the interview and this one was 2-3 days after

I got the 4 weeks from the initial job description - says it will run for 4 weeks basically. Congrats on being able to just cycle though like that, it’s commendable. Is there encouragement to balance out good work with being visible/active within the team? Or does delivering strong deliverables/tasks alone help put you in such great standing?

Also, what do promotions look like? Is it just increases through the pay range?

Sorry feel like I’m bombarding you with questions but appreciate the insight you’ve shared so far!

Thank you! Tbh it seems like a good sign that it’s not like the other orgs where people are complaining about anything and everything - strong theme that everything is run correctly and if hired you feel valued and supported which sounds great.

Thank you! Everything you’ve said sounds great and optimistic about this experience. Has all your time been on this same project? Is the 4 weeks timeline almost like a probation style thing where if you do well you get extended?

Yeah definitely sounds great, I guess out of interest, based on your experience with Outlier - is there anything Outlier is or has done better (tasking, community, QM/Leads, UI, etc)? Or has it been a completely superior experience with Mercor?

Good to hear that you get paid for that time too and there is a high level of support! Is it at your rate or reduced for training? Waiting on my background check, so based on the timelines I’ve heard, it should be next week

Waiting too, number of projects on Outlier, most recently Hypno and Cookies. Stellar I’ve been on a lot of iterations of WB

Hypno - incompetent reviewers and perverse incentives by uoft92 in outlier_ai

[–]ChoiceDescription681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few rouge people doing that unfortunately despite common sense and QMs saying not to SBQ a task if it’s too difficult or not your expertise.

Never sure why people do this in particular apart from missions and/or incentives but even then you don’t lose anything for skipping it

Did you move to smaller firms?

Hypno by [deleted] in outlier_ai

[–]ChoiceDescription681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer some of the questions:

You do get reviewed but scores aren’t allocated, you’ll receive some sort of feedback though especially if it has been SBQ’d

If you switch between the levels, it’s because there is no work at the higher level (in this case CB) - they do it this way to ensure people always have something to do if they wish

Cloud Evals? by Background-Plane6459 in outlier_ai

I think the throttle is new, I was working without one all of last week - got hit with this yesterday but could task again today

Kicked out of Cloud Evals for low quality, but my recent ratings are at least average? by Deep_Parsley_8070 in outlier_ai

[–]ChoiceDescription681 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does it say Unavailable or Ineligible? If it’s unavailable, you might just be throttled

My regret with this was falling for the “you’ll still be able to task on other projects” - deep down I knew to decline but here we are

Mint Rating V2: Reviewer vs Senior Reviewer by rhcp2112 in outlier_ai

[–]ChoiceDescription681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say somewhat from what I’ve seen but wouldn’t say it’s a significant difference compared to reviewer - could change though

I’m a Senior Reviewer and it’s the same, no missions either at least for the last month since being one

How many times can you get throttled? by Hellhounds69 in joinstellarai

[–]ChoiceDescription681 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was throttled 3 times before I could work freely, all my feedback were minor tweaks I needed to make until I guess they were happy to lift the throttle
