So I was onboarded last week for the big generalist project(L). I only started working like yesterday and got offboarded today (!?!?!) what in the clusterfuck is this? Anyone been through the same?

Hi guys, I just received an instant offer for the Generalist Expert role, but after clicking "view offer" I get redirected to a blank page.

The offer also doesn't appear in the "offers" tab on my Mercor account. Emailed Mercor and Melvin replied saying he'll reach out to the support team to determine whether it was "an offer-notification/link issue rather than an accessible active offer."

Has this happened to anyone?

Not sure how I feel about it if the offer is for that huge chaotic project often discussed on here, but hoping it could be for another generalist project — I believe there are several other generalist campaigns running at this time.

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself and it was just a bug in the system, but I'd love to hear from anyone who's had this issue.

Also, is anyone currently on other generalist projects and how are they going for you?

Thanks!

Hi r/Mercor,

I hope this reaches the right corner of the internet because at this point I feel like I’ve been walking around the same job application maze for so long I’ve started greeting the walls.

I’ve applied to Mercor and I genuinely cannot tell if I’m being evaluated, ignored, spiritually tested, or slowly inducted into a secret society that I am failing the entrance ritual for.

So I’m here humbly (read: desperately) asking:

• What actually gets you noticed there?
• Do I need to sacrifice a perfectly formatted CV to the algorithm gods?
• Is there a hidden “please let this person in” button I missed?
• Or do I just need to befriend someone who already works there and hope they take pity on me?

I am willing to:

• improve my skills
• rewrite my CV again (for the 47th time)
• learn ancient machine learning incantations
• and possibly rename myself “Applicant_Approved_Final_v3_REAL”

Any advice from people who made it in would be appreciated before I start assuming I’m locked out forever and go live in the forest.

I never actually applied for the generalist expert role, but I ended up receiving an email with an offer. Is this really a real position? It says that I'm an independent contractor though, l've never worked a role as an independent contractor.
Thoughts from anyone who has?

I am trying to set up Stripe to pay to my bank and it keeps saying that my routing number (001030800) for Simplii Financial is invalid. I have contacted Simplii support and they confirm that this is their only routing number.

When I tried to set it up with my WISE USD account, it said that US accounts are not supported for Canada. Does anyone know what to do here?

Anyone experiencing the same? I was warned that it was quite difficult to get hired, but i did not expect that much.
I do have experience in IT, languages etc. I guess there are too many applicants and they have to narrow down the list. It looks like one of the most d ifficult platform to work with. Waiting for opinions.

Thanks.

I used to have a good opinion of this company, but that's starting to go by the wayside. A few days ago, people began saying goodbye "just in case" the chat got shut down suddenly. Now I realize they must have heard something. So today mass emails were sent out, and less than 60 seconds later the channel was shut down. Keeping it classy, right M?

ok，I filled out many parts of the application form, took an AI interview, and applied for three jobs. It says that I will receive a reply in four weeks, and I am somewhat looking forward to it

I've been on the Mercor roller coaster for a few weeks now. We've heard about a mass offboarding, no tasks, backlog of tasks, and now weekly 10 hour minimum. My thoughts:

1. Workflows and cadence move like a rabid squirrel on coke after a divorce. Full transparency, I work at a start up so this is not a surprise given the scope of the job I'm on for Mercor.

2. I enjoy the work. Something about me would be cool with doing this 8-10 hours a day. Probably not for everyone and the slack has comments to back that up. It's not everyone's dream way to spend their time.

3. I am getting accustomed to a wide variety of reviewers, and the personality in their reviews. I just approach each one with the same professionalism. Respond to comments, say thanks to the chill ones, and get my tasks closed. If you come into this thinking there are no difficult personalities, probably going to be a challenge for you.

4. I'm a nearly 50 years old with a doctorate and two decades of executive experience. For $160 an hour I'm not going to bitch about generational differences and communication styles. I pivoted toward AI, and completed a lot of coursework, to stay relevant in the workforce. It's a highly diverse workforce, the keys seem to be patience, research, communication, and flexibility.

With the new 10 hour weekly minimum and apparent ramp up, let's go. Good luck to all y'all engaged and on this ride.

Hi, new Mercor contractor here. I was assigned on a project last week for the first time. Shows 80h/week on insightful but when I try to run the time it says ‘you can’t log time for the moment, time limit is reached’. I didn’t even started working. Any similar experience? The support team/Mercor AI assistant only responded once for my request that they have escalated it to the project team but no update from them for a few days already.

It’s a bit weird when you accept a contract for a certain amount and then they go ahead and change it after accepting. I recently accepted an offer for $1k per task (the tasks are vigorous as hell) but after accepting, they changed it to $900. I know it’s not a big change but I don’t appreciate the inconsistency

I’m trying to upload my resume on my profile, but I keep getting:

Resume uploaded but parsing failed. Please try a different file format.

The issue is definitely not with the file itself:

the PDF is fully text based

text can be copied normally

it’s not scanned or image based

I even tested older resumes that previously worked

I already contacted support and received the generic formatting/OCR response, but this seems more like a platform side parser issue.

I currently have active applications and I’m worried this may affect my eligibility or profile visibility for future roles, so I’m hoping this can get escalated or looked into quickly.

If anyone from the Mercor team sees this, I’d really appreciate help investigating the issue.

Thanks!
