If DataAnnotation has gone quiet, rejected you or never replied, there are more than twenty other platforms paying for AI training work. They differ on entry gates, published pay, payout rails and where they accept people from. Here they are grouped by who they suit, with the four names that turn out to be the same company as a platform you already know.
Of the 699 roles on this site, 201 are entry or junior level, and three platforms post all of them. What micro1, Mercor and Invisible Technologies each offer beginners, what the work pays, and which beginner listings are tied to one country.
Engineering is where AI training pays best, but the listings describe very different jobs under similar titles. Using more than a hundred engineering roles on this site, here are the five kinds of work (auditing, task authoring, environment building, reviewing agent output, building on pre-release models), what each pays, who gets in, and how to pick.
Every listing shows its pay and who it is open to.
