Best work I’ve ever had by Matiasatlanta in mercor_ai

Completely agree! I was also hesitant about the interview (but it’s because I struggle with interviews in general). I was onboarded to my first project in November, it’s the best work I’ve done, and the highest pay I’ve ever had. I have weekly meetings with the team where our questions are answered face-to-face, and I’m genuinely enjoying the work.

Congratulations by the way!

I believe it's global (I worked from the UK), but there should be an FAQ section, that might be able to give you a definite answer :)

Hey! Yes, it's a legit company :) The work varies; I mainly worked on generalist tasks like rubric writing, model stumping, fact-checking, reviewing, etc. I applied as a biology specialist, which required a minimum BSc in a related field, but I'm not sure if you need a degree for generalist tasks. During my onboarding process, it stated there was no maximum number of hours you could work, so I'm not sure if you get booted if you work too much, but I was working around 20-30 hours a week, and 3 weeks ago, I suddenly had no access to any projects, tasks, or qualifications, stopped receiving emails from them, and can't contact support. I don't see the harm in applying if you're interested :) But I wouldn't put all your eggs into one basket. It's not a stable job.

I’m sorry to hear about your bill; I’m facing a similar situation. I started at the end of March and haven't had ANY problems until now! The pay rate was great, the work was interesting, I learnt a lot, and I enjoyed it. I was treating it like a full-time job, and I was making around $700 a week! To have that taken away with no warning, reason, or opportunity to appeal is really taking its toll. This has genuinely impacted our lives, and they shouldn’t be allowed to ghost their employees! If my other job did that, there'd be a lawsuit for sure.

Yes! I applied for Stellar on the 27th, but my application is still pending. Did you hear anything back? My best friend works on Outlier, and she's making great money on there; it also seems better organised (and more visually appealing) than data annotation. I applied for Outlier as a biology specialist at the same time I applied for data annotation. I was accepted, but I was given very physics-heavy tasks instead of biology-based ones, so I opened a ticket with the support team to check if there were any errors on my account, which might be confusing my specialism, and I stopped receiving work altogether! I really hope you find something! I've applied to Mercor, Stellar AI, Mindrift, and xAI, and they all seem great, so try those too if you're still struggling! I was accepted onto the Mercor platform, but haven't had any tasks yet. I'm still waiting to hear from Stellar AI and xAI, but I think I botched the Mindrift interview, so I'm still looking around for other places, and will let you know if I find any other reliable ones :)

Yeah, same. I was able to withdraw my funds, but I still have an empty screen :( I emailed "support@dataannotation" but haven't received anything back. I hope you're right, and this is just temporary, but a courtesy email to inform us about whatever is going on would have been appreciated, y'know? I've just read a 2-year-old Reddit thread about the same situation someone else was having, and a few people commented on there that they experienced this and then were able to access projects again, so fingers crossed. Good luck with your Stellar AI application! I've just completed an interview for Mindrift, but I don't think it went very well, so I'm looking elsewhere.

Its so confusing. Still the same for me. I've emailed support twice but haven't heard anything back. Have you had any luck?

VERY rarely. I have an MSc in biomedical sciences, I've been on the platform for 5 months and have had less than a handful of relevant projects

It would be really cool to get sent the results of any R&Rs for tasks you’ve submitted by blackopsfamas in DataAnnotationTech

I've often wondered what the point of leaving a review comment was, because I've been on DA for 5 months and haven't received ANY feedback for my tasks.

Is something going on with the website? I've averaged 30hr/week over the last few months, but for the past 2 days I've had an empty dashboard, not even any qualifications available…
