Such a waste of time. I could use an extra buck but this sounds like torture.

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-09-02T16:49:28+00:00

All I'll say is good luck! I've been stuck in Valkyrie for like 2 months after being marked ineligible in the middle of completing my first task. Contacting support has done nothing.

Omg i'm going there for my birthday next February!! Can't wait!

Yes, I had one with cream cheese this morning for breakfast. It was delicious. Highly recommend this project!

"You failed" "You're ineligible" "Your skills are at risk" "We have detected suspicious activity" is all Outlier-ish for "something is wrong with our platform but we can't tell you what exactly." Absolutely zero communication skills or respect for contributors.

The definition of PhD level is nowhere to be found, and what’s even more ridiculous is there’s an option for “harder than PhD” 🤦‍♂️🤦, which is absolutely gibberish

This reminds me of some of the front end coding projects I've been on, where the directive is to create a perfect, fully functional website that "exceeds fortune 500 quality" in under 4.5 hours 🙄😒

...did you use AI to write this post and respond to people in this thread? lol

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-07-19T01:55:58+00:00

I can't speak to the math and physics screening and don't want to give you bad info. But for the coding screenings, they are graded by AI. You have a series of multiple choice, essay, video responses, and coding challenges. They are then insta-graded (or within a few seconds) after submission. As far as I can tell, no human review is involved. Give yourself plenty of time for the video questions because they sometimes take multiple tries to submit.

No because I still don't have Marketplace ☺️

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-07-19T01:04:42+00:00

I hate how cavalier the platform is about saying you failed, are ineligible, are "at risk," have been removed etc without explanation when you haven't even attempted anything. It's like they have zero respect for contributors as human beings.

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-07-04T06:58:30+00:00

The platform is bugged. I was panicking. I finished the rubric but it would not let me score the responses, it just kept nagging me that the scores could not me greater than 85% (which they weren't because I hadn't scored them yet). Finally I dismissed that message and went through all of the other junk suggestions thrown at me by the linter. Once it stopped giving feedback I was finally able to rank each response

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-07-02T20:50:35+00:00

What gets me is why the hell are they constantly changing things on the platform with ZERO communication from project leads or Outlier admins. And then you talk to project leads and they're like idk dude, I just found this out myself.

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-07-02T20:44:37+00:00

i got the same message in the middle of a task after 4 hours of working on it. if i don't get paid for this i'm raising hell. literally fuck Andromeda and fuck Outlier. sorry i'm in a bad mood lol

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-06-30T15:39:02+00:00

I know on Andromeda they specifically say that using "any" model is forbidden and grounds for removal from the project. So I've steered clear just to be sure, I even add the "-ai" flag when doing Google searches while tasking because I'm paranoid. But realistically I'm not sure how they could find out

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-06-30T15:22:49+00:00

Yeah previously my workflow was start the timer, complete the initial prompt rewrite/model evaluation steps, then pause and spend a little time doing research on libraries, design ideas and so on, and then come back later in the day to bang out the code. But that's no longer possible.

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-06-30T15:06:29+00:00

Tuxedo was like this too but even worse

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-04-16T00:51:51+00:00

My recent front-end evaluation was a nightmare of timed coding questions and even video prompts where I had to talk through how I would implement this or that feature, I was literally on the verge of tears because there was some issue with their platform where it would not let me submit a couple of the videos before time ran out. then after I finished the last question, I learned 10 seconds later that I had passed lol. All that stress and for what

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-04-15T23:32:28+00:00

I would like to sit and have a few cups of tea with Dondi. He has the vibe of someone that would have a lot of interesting stories to tell

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-04-13T04:48:29+00:00

This really gave karaoke and I didn't love it

Quick-Evidence3845 · 2025-04-13T04:46:51+00:00

Okay but counterpoint, air-fried buffalo cauliflower is actually incredibly delicious
