Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask before applying to their first AI training job.
What is a data annotation job?+
A data annotation job is remote work where you label or review data — text, images, audio, or code — so AI models can be trained on it. Typical tasks include rating chatbot responses, transcribing audio, or writing model answers.
Are data annotation jobs legit?+
Yes. Platforms like DataAnnotation.tech, Outlier, Mercor, and Ethos pay real money (usually weekly via PayPal) for real work. Avoid any site that asks for a signup fee or pays only in gift cards or crypto.
How much do data annotation jobs pay?+
Generalist text work typically pays $15–$25/hour. Specialist roles (PhD subjects, senior software engineering, law, medicine) pay $40–$150/hour. Rates scale with expertise and task difficulty.
Do I need a degree to start?+
No — most platforms accept generalist applicants without a degree. A graduate degree or specialist skill (coding, math, a specific language) unlocks higher-paying projects.
How do I get started?+
Apply to DataAnnotation.tech and Outlier first — both are open to generalists. Take the assessment seriously (30–90 minutes), start with any available projects, and move up to Mercor, Ethos, or Turing once you have a track record.
Is this a full-time job?+
It can be, but task availability fluctuates week to week. Most annotators sign up for 3–5 platforms so there's always work somewhere. Specialists in demand fields often work full-time.
