02/28 - Thumb Thursday!

[reprise]

Thanks and well done. Are you working for them much?

no because of rowan i've been doing nothing tbh. i had my first review and got meets expectations which is good for a new person. they restrict you to 2 hours a day to start but i believe i will be getting unrestricted or less restricted soon since i did well on the test. i talked in chat to some more seasoned people and they said to email them and ask, so i'm waiting for a response.

They require an NDA, or at least they used to. That makes it difficult to get people to share info.

i can't share project info but i dont think i'm breaking any rules with this very general info

 

[Theta Carinae]

the whole thing took me probably 10 hours.

jfc. all in the same day?

 

[reprise]

i've worked about 10 hours in 11 days

 

[reprise]

jfc. all in the same day?

no, you have a week. i did the first part in one day and the other two parts over about 4 days

 

[Theta Carinae]

Oh, okay. That sounds a lot more sane.

[header] How to do grade 9 mathematical processes [title] Do operations with fractions. [substeps] Add and subtract. Fractions can only be added, or subtracted, if they have the same denominator, otherwise the answer is incorrect.

Grade 9 math? I learned this in 4th or 5th grade.

 

[reprise]

Oh, okay. That sounds a lot more sane.

the insane part is they give you a 150 page manual and no instruction and say go take this test

and then it's basically the same thing when you start working

but there's a chat so i ask questions in there

Oh, yeah, when I applied to Lionbridge years ago it was pretty much the same thing. I kinda never finished reading the manual, because 150 pages of rules sounded batshit to me - well done you for getting through all that

 

[Katia2019]

Ha, yea. Just realized it was subtraction, not multiplication/divison. 2nd or 3rd grade... multiply and divide was 4th/5th

My middle school was dumb though...

6th grade teacher: We aren't going to learn to divide fractions, its too hard
7th grade teacher: assumes everyone already knows how

it's probably the exact same thing. i didn't really read the whole thing but just looking for answers i probably read 75% of it anyway

I used to do leapforce Yukon project, same 150 page manual. One of the tests took the questions almost straight from the manual though. I was able to make some money for quite a few months, then I got too many wrong and was let go. Tried the appen social media position too, but dropped out of that after 1-2 weeks.

Signing an NDA has never stopped me from publicly discussing anything.

alright about to finish my last few rowans and then go pick up my laptap. later guys/gals. good luck with the exam @lolkatB

Consider a layered boot if you want to pull the sadness in.

Back in 2010 Leapforce (now Appen) was decent-ish for a WFH gig. I've heard that it's gone downhill a bit in regards to pay, but I think it's probably still more consistent than mturk.

what did you do? queue the rowans? I ran out of them long before your post. Maybe I lost my qual and they disappeared?

I admit Rowan did a great job with the final 20 I did - I was having a much tougher time with my decisions than I did the previous batches.
