Pros

- Full flexibility, which is a must for this type of working arrangement. Other platforms and independent contractor entities have strict deadlines and expected minimum hours that result in situations which cannot be regarded as freelancing anymore. - DA respects your time, which includes compensations for project onboarding training sessions - DA looks at your work and background and gives you further and bigger opportunities along the way

Cons

- Some projects have timers which are too tightly set, e.g. if start a task that takes 6 hrs or more, and you only have a 6 hrs timer, you may result in not being able to submit your completed task. If there are still tasks for this project available at that time, one can simply start a new task and submit the work then, otherwise one has to wait a few days until the task comes back to the dashboard before one can submit the work - Payouts only via PayPal, which is costly for foreign currency workers, as Paypal forces their exchange rate upon the receiver, e.g. added ≈ 2 cents from dollar to euros

Pros

The application process was rather easy, the pay is good (IF there is work) and you have complete flexibility about your hours and work location.

Cons

Work is highly unreliable, you can literally go months without a single project. Also, they don't provide information needed for tax purposes (like their tax number, etc.), which can be highly problematic when you're doing your taxes as a freelancer.

Perfect Job For Me

Pros

I have really enjoyed working for them; it's flexible, I can choose my hours and how much I work, I work from home, I have very little interaction with co-workers, which is a plus for me. One week, I might work 30 hours, then I might take 2 weeks off, then I might come back and do 10 hours, and this has never impacted how much work I get. This really suits my neurodivergence and the rhythms of my life. I feel like the work is fun, and I am a part of shaping something super important for the future of humanity and AI. I am learning a lot about how LLMs work, and a lot of the time, I get to choose to work with something I am interested in, like creating prompts about researching video games or fun history. I also really like being able to see preview versions of features in major AI's, and once they release, knowing I had a hand in building that. Projects are also paid very fairly, in my opinion. The lowest-paying tasks require very little creativity and expertise, while higher-paying project tasks require more effort. It's really up to you how much you earn based on the hours you put in, doing qualifications (which are unfortunately unpaid), and how well you perform.

Cons

If I were to say a tiny issue it's that communication with them is not always the easiest, and there is certainly a lot of pressure to do well (as there is in any job of course) or risk being removed from projects. Other than that, though, it's a great platform with a lot of opportunities. I have already made a few thousand dollars on there!
