Is there room for advancement?
Yes. This is a key feature of the platform. They explicitly list a career path: Data Trainer -> Quality Analyst -> QA Lead -> Project Manager. Consistent high-quality work can lead to leadership roles.
How do payments work?
Payments are processed weekly through Deel. This ensures tax compliance and allows them to hire freelancers from over 40 countries securely.
Is the work ongoing or project-based?
Work is project-based, which means assignments can vary in duration and availability. However, top performers often get priority access to new projects.
Is this just labeling data?
No. This is closer to academic research. You will likely be writing or verifying complex proofs, solving advanced equations, or checking the logic of a model's step-by-step reasoning. The goal is to teach AI systems to reason deeply in your field.
Do I need a PhD?
For the highest pay tiers in this category, a PhD (or current enrollment) is usually expected. However, the most important factor is your ability to pass the domain assessment. If you can solve the problems, the degree is secondary.
Is the work continuous?
Work in niche fields is often project-based. A specific "campaign" (e.g., training a model on Quantum Mechanics) might last for a few weeks. It is best to treat this as a high-paying fellowship or grant rather than a permanent daily job.
