What I absolutely love about working at DA is the meritocracy. The higher the quality of your work, the higher the reward.
‍

Creating complex coding scenarios, doing deep analysis of models, and synthesizing results are all part of my daily routine, and I love it.

Been working since March 2024. I honestly feel so lucky to have both found this job and to have been able to keep it for so long.

‍

I thought I might make a few grand max at the start.

Hit 100k the other day! I do this full time. Not what I originally intended when I signed up, but I've managed so far.
‍

I started as a generalist but I have coding work too.

This work has opened up so many opportunities for me and is now enabling me to work full-time independently.

I started as a generalist, then passed the coding eval and have more often than not had plenty of work.

Started almost a year ago and have just hit this milestone :) I had just graduated from uni when I started doing this and it was a lifesaver whilst I was looking for graduate jobs.

‍

I'm based in the UK and I have a Master's degree in physics so I do a mix of specialist stem, coding, and sometimes generalist projects.

In just 2 months I have already paid off my debt that would have taken me around an year to pay back. I can also leave my extra jobs and actually focus on my passion instead.

‍

Working for them has been the best thing to happen to me so far.

I have earned 10k in a month (my first month started at the end of April). I needed this and will definitely continue working with them.
‍

I plan to keep working and be able to pay for a masters maybe in the fall.

I love that I can switch between coding tasks and those with rubrics, and that the work is always changing, so it never gets boring.
‍

The taxes hurt, but it is worth it to help support the services like free healthcare here in Canada.

Data Annotation has saved my ass financially and allowed me to help out my loved ones. Couldn't ask for a better job.
‍

I've been working about 2-3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for just over 2 years.

Treated DA as pretty much full time for the past 3 years and its been a god send for me.
‍

I've saved a huge amount of money working from home, managed to work on a part time masters degree, and also been able to spend more time on myself.

In less than 2 months I've made a little over $20k, which honestly still feels surreal typing out.
‍

A lot of it feels like real engineering/problem-solving work — debugging code, evaluating implementations, reasoning about edge cases.

This made living as a grad student actually affordable. In 2 weeks I just over doubled what I normally make.
‍

Half of what I need to do in grad school is writing, so writing practice has been well needed.

Thanks DAT, I've been able to live an awesome life because of this job. Traveled to 28 countries, built a wrap around deck for my mom, created a massive garden, and so much more!
‍

You can do it too, keep up the good work people!

It's been a long, almost 3 year journey. Coder, self taught, and the first year or so was really, really tough. But I have no words for how thankful I am for DA.
‍

I've had some amazing jobs in my life, but none compare to the constant challenges and rewards of this one.
