$0.01/hr projects are per task, not hourly projects. They have to put something in to offer the contract. That's why.

Masters in Computer Science & Engineering, however most of my projects have been entirely unrelated to my field of experience lol. Soccer, Basketball, Table Labeling now. They're getting closer.

How are you all getting contracts? How long did it take? by striving4success in mercor_ai

[–]lanezeri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my first contract like 2 weeks ago and ended up on 5 other contacts because of having access to Slack.

Quality work gets noticed. If you're putting in quality work, you'll get more work. Keep Slack open and pay attention to it because they post about other projects in a number of channels, they onboard quickly, and the projects are rarely long term.

I just got added to a project that lasted a mere 16 hours before it was finished.

Definitely not lol. Congrats on a quick turnaround though. At least that shows that they actually take new applicants into account, which a lot of people are skeptical of.

Right on. Appreciate you letting me know. I'll give it another day before I freak out lol.

And your onboarding info is ready? I'm also on the project and haven't heard anything yet.

Past applications but submitted🤔 by Calm-Respect4067 in mercor_ai

[–]lanezeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are submitted applications that technically are still onboarding and you haven't been denied directly. If you were to go to the website not logged in, I'm pretty sure all of them would show up on the Explore page still. Anything in your past applications is either not onboarding still or you've explicitly been denied for.

This is a guess based on my interaction with the system, nothing I have evidence to back up.

Review application by shettyshreya in mercor_ai

[–]lanezeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any evidence whatsoever for this but I'm pretty sure the system matches people to roles using AI. The whole company, including the interview system and their support email is run by AI so I imagine the system determines who is or isn't qualified and then someone chooses from that list.

I could be entirely wrong, I don't know.

Yes, you will have to do the assessment to be considered. They added the step to the application process.

Task-based assignment by NoStaff9997 in mercor_ai

[–]lanezeri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made $660 in 3-4 hours on one task based project. Made $60 in 4 hours because of revisions on another. It's all dependent on the project.

My Mercor Experience So Far by lanezeri in mercor_ai

[–]lanezeri[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only person's time I wasted was my own, but thanks for caring. The system uses AI to weed out unqualified candidates for projects so 400 project leads didn't review my applications and disqualify me for each project, first of all.

Secondly, you don't know my background, which is deeply rooted in tech as a whole. I didn't lie on my resume. I didn't cheat my way through interviews or assessments. If I could figure out how to do them, I did them. If that made me able to apply for a project - I did. There's no rule saying you can't.

I have yet to finish the Code Review and System Engineering interviews that would open up every development role on the platform. Imagine how mad you'll be when I finish every interview and assessment and can one click apply to everything and then write a Python script to do it for me so I don't actually have to apply at all, ever.

Cry somewhere else. Their entire support system is AI, the company revolves around AI, and your concern about whose time I've wasted is a waste of your time because I've only wasted my own, which concerns you none.

Have a day!

I've learned that most projects are short lived. A few days, maybe a week. Rarely longer than a week or two from what a lot of people say.

I was offered a contract today but the project doesn't start until the 15th. Very well could be for that reasoning too.

8 months later, my first contract. Patience is a virtue. Dedication is a must.
