I'm a contractor for one of these companies. It pays okay ($45+/hour) if you can pass qualifications for your area of expertise but the work isn't steady and communication is non-existent. The coding qualifications I did were difficult FAANG algorithm analysis questions. The work has definitely gotten harder over the last year and often says we need to come up with Masters/PhD level work or problems that someone with 5+ years of experience in a field would have difficulty solving. I wish I had a regular job but I live in rural North Carolina and remote work is hard to come by.

I wouldn't mind this work at that pay, being particularly strong in leetcode and in CS itself.

How do I join?

Look up Mercor, DataAnnotation.tech, and Outlier. You create a profile, upload a resume, and do some required tasks for each job posting they have. It may involve a combination of interviewing with an AI, doing a few trial tasks, and submitting a portfolio or Github profile.

Gotta love how DataAnnotation has been blanketing Reddit with ads for "remote coding jobs," clearly trading on the ambiguity of "coding."
