Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Since you have experience with datannotation you can try you hand at another data entry AI job like outlier, telus, lionbridge, welocalize. It's likely the same shit, they can drop anyone whenever they want but then you can hopefully join another one of those (can sadly only be at one at a time). Again because of datannotation you could try some sort of claims processing with a pharmacy chain like CVS or insurance companies.
Ratracebellion has call center type stuff but its competitive AF. Remote medical scribe work afaik wants to see your face and you have to train in person.
Have you done any of these?
I'm being forced off disability benefits this year and am freaking out about being able to handle in person work. Looking at Telus's AI bs job, it seems like it would work well for me if I could get enough hours. The hourly rate is a little low for my area, but it beats working at McDonald's or something.
I only need to make $1100 a month to match my current benefits, do you think that's possible if I did this kind of thing?
I've been with one of the places a little over year. No, you won't comfortably make that with any of those in my experience, especially not Telus during the holiday months, where you're lucky to get any hours. Now rest of the year maybe if you time things right solid maybe, but I wouldn't depend on it alone, its 100% a side gig, but better than 0. They like to keep turnover ridiculously high since they think it helps with AI learning. 10-20hrs a week with Telus is probably the average, if I had to guess, outside of holidays where its like 0 hrs for 2 months. these places have entry exams but if you've done data rating before they're all somewhat similar, if not there's youtube videos and they provide study manuals to get the gist of it. Its fucking brutal out there. There's also grader jobs with these places but they pay even less iirc.
I live in a lower min wage state, McDonald's or Walmart still pays more, but most places don't, and its such a depressed area people are willing to commute hours for a flat minimum wage job on a swinging shift.
Thanks for the recommendation! I actually just applied to Telus, and it looks promising. Many of these do give me a bit more hopefuel, but I can never be too hopeful. I'm rather pessimistic when it comes to job hunting.
