Pros
I was looking for a remote job with the following as I am taking a "gap year" from my regular job for family/other reasons and found data annotation to be the perfect fit for the following reasons:
1. INCOME: so far I have enough daily projects at a good hourly rate that allow me to make a sustainable steady weekly income.
2. FLEXIBILITY: this is great, exactly what I was looking for! I can work on projects anytime of the day for any duration once it's within the total time. Some other remote jobs require a certain start and stop time still but with data annotation, you set your own schedule, can be morning, afternoon or night- it's totally up to you.
3. CUSTOMER SERVICE: whenever I reach out to customer service, I get a fast response which is great.
4. SPECIALTY KNOWLEDGE: I work on mainly medical project which allows me to use my medical knowledge, the scale of the projects are also challenging which leads me to open up my textbooks as well. I appreciate this because while I am not in a physical location seeing patients, I can still keep my medical knowledge fresh. There is also the flexibility to do non-medical projects if I need a break from medical ones.
4. PROJECTS AVAILABLE: for me I have enough daily projects, I do see some people complain about this, but this is not an issue with me. They look at one's quality of work and projects are release base on how much qualifications one do, so I suppose for everyone their quality will vary and qualifications can determine amount of projects release.
Overall my experience has been great so far. It is exactly what I needed during this stage of my life. It is God-sent for me and I am truly greatful for this job!
Cons
Not a contract position- so unsure of how long the job will last.
