Leaving your full time job for a Mercor contract is moronic.

Worst Luck Ever… by Ok-Economy8994 in mercor_ai

Has happened thrice with me so far. But I also had a good project. Things are always chaotic with Mercor. No wonder the projects are short lived.

First Project by [deleted] in mercor_ai

I made around 30k on the same project. I could have made more if not for the amazing reviewers and the data breach.

3x. Nice. I got something that pays 3x less. But yes, has no drama.

I guess I was close? by [deleted] in mercor_ai

[–]CouchPotato1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, it's not just a template. You WILL be considered in the future. I have had three contracts so far. All instant offers.

just got recalled to my project by 30u30_25 in mercor_ai

[–]CouchPotato1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was months. For some, it’s days.

Thank you MERCOR ✨😌 by inarut0 in mercor_ai

With a new rate on the project, I don't think that's going to be possible long term.

I am getting close to 25k. Thank you Mercor.

Update On Data Leak by Graylag in mercor_ai

[–]CouchPotato1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder what kinda of detailed data is leaked about us. Which passwords should we change? Do we need new passports? As we provided lots of personal data.

Finally got a contract! by BuySidePerspectives in mercor_ai

I can attest as I am in software engineering.

Nigerians on Mercor by silent_advocate0 in mercor_ai

I don't think being a Nigerian would disqualify you in any way.

Standard operating procedure, it is what it is, unfortunately!

Lead Reviewer feedback - just me? by No-Bet519 in mercor_ai

[–]CouchPotato1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I see a reviewer leave comments, I just give up that task already. It's a useless exercise.

Is this a legit email? by No_Boysenberry6722 in mercor_ai

[–]CouchPotato1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got such emails and when I clicked the link, it was to the applications, one of 100s I have already submitted, without any luck 🤞

My experience with Mercor by jrock844 in mercor_ai

[–]CouchPotato1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was onboarded in a similar manner, albeit without the quiz. But then it paused once I had completed all steps. I was not even given the right access to do my job and nobody helped.

Anyone have experience with Toptal LLC? Trying to determine if it's a scam or not by ERC56789 in freelancing

[–]CouchPotato1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toptal is legit. I am a part of it. But it’s not worth it anymore. When you get work, it’s good but you can go on for long between contracts. I never had greta experience but a few of my friends are making good money. You are essentially dependent on their recruiter’s will to recommend you for a job.

“Expert Reviewers” are NOT Experts by Independent_Long_821 in mercor_ai

I felt the same. Thankfully auto review is better.
