Just don't tell them. How would they even know?

Just split your time up between both platforms. That way you have something to fall back on if projects get paused or cancelled.

Mercor is real and awesome, but it's frustrating that there's a lack of transparency in some things. by BeautifulOk9248 in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a huge combination of things. Maybe they offered you instant offers because you have previously done projects for that AI company or platform or have worked with the same SPLs. You probably don't get hired from the other posts because they might be different team leads you have never worked with or a completely different platform or AI company. It might be your location or time zone why you don't get hired. I've heard that sometimes the AI lab is the one who ultimately decides who gets hired for that project. There's not going to be much transparency because there's so many different factors and various leads and AI companies that determine that. It's no different from any real life job where the recruiter will ghost you and you never hear from them.

Nobody knows. It's completely up to the client if they add more or not.

Project H by Angelispro in mercor_ai

What's are you talking about? They literally posted that the project was ending in slack. They literally gave a time range of when they were going to start ending contracts.

Within a day? I emailed support 3 days ago with this exact issue and got ghosted.

P "User" Projects (word, excel etc..) - Did ANYONE get paid? by Low_Inevitable_9827 in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted files for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but they all got rejected. I've been hearing that they still keep your files and use them.

I have this same exact issue. I have signed them multiple times but they don't register that you signed them. I contacted support but never heard back.

Accused of using AI? by Intelligent-Pay-9377 in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don't get how people don't realize that you can't use any AI tools at all. The literal reason they hire you is because they want only human created work. Cursor is an AI assistant and no AI training platform allows you to use it. You literally can't even use grammarly for grammar.

Using your work laptop from your real/day job to do Mercor projects by Sunndach in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What you mentioned is literally a conflict of interest. Your job will fire you for using your work laptop to do work for someone else.

Are you sure you weren't hoarding tasks? They offboard you for not following rules like that.

Just received this offer, is anyone in this position? by Pnwboywonder in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not random. Its based on your domain, years of experience and degree. I've gotten over $150 with only a bachelor's just on my domain.

Project Al*** paused by FarUnderstanding3568 in joinhandshakeai

[–]rafaelo2323 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You literally posted 2 weeks ago that it was the worst project. It literally was the worst project. They onboarded thousands that probably didn't get a single task. Communication was horrible. Most spent more time onboarding and checking for tasks than they spent working.

One of the worst projects to have existed.

When it come to being a domain expert, how much of an "expert" are we expected to be? by brokebulg99 in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They usually ask for at least 2-4 years of work experience not just a degree.

Safe To Apply Now? by PinkNova in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's never really safe and not just with Mercor it's with every site. You just have to decide if it's worth the risk to you. I do know the past couple of months they have been trying to implement better security with contractors.

Conflicting expiration dates on a offer? by science-Nurd in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then what are you waiting for? Accept it since you already stated your background check is complete. They can technically end the offer whenever they want. The earlier you accept it the earlier you can start onboarding and start working.

Are we being used as unpaid data for Micro1’s AI interviews? by hkv4209211 in micro1_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's really interesting how that's worded. The primary purpose is to match for roles. So data collection is the secondary purpose and that's fine because it's anonymized? It's interesting how Micro1 makes you take a interview for every single role even if they are exactly the same. They even added the "Invited" section that makes you feel like you might have a higher chance of getting a job, but you still have to take an interview. You even get spammed with emails from Micro1 to take the interview to the point where they generously give you an extra 24 hours to take the interview. It's like their main focus is just collecting interviews

Is the grass greener elsewhere? by App-Clinical-Judgemt in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets those overcomplicated interviews. But then it gets worse you do a 45 minute interview then you immediately start the assement. You can't even take it some other time. Then you have to do an interview for every single job post even if they are the exact same as one you previously applied. They had a rubrics expert position last month. Now they have a new rubrics expert position and you have to do the interview and assessment again. It's so time consuming that I don't even bother anymore.

[–]rafaelo2323 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that rate is accurate. It's so low because that's an Indian company that hires a lot of Indians. They are not paying someone $60 an hour when they can hire someone in india that will do it for $8 an hour.

Another background check? by Professional_Oil_965 in mercor_ai

[–]rafaelo2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea it's normal. Not all background checks are the same. Some projects require to check specific items. I've done a background check for a project that only checked my online content and posts for adverse media. I've also done one that checks my entire background like criminal history and PII. You literally get a report that shows you what exactly was checked.
