Before you apply

  • No fees, ever. A legitimate AI training platform never charges you to apply, to take its test or to start work. Anyone asking for money for a starter kit, a course or a placement is not hiring you.
  • Assessments are usually unpaid. Expect a test or trial task before paid work: 9.4% of the roles that state no requirement still mention one (read on 17 Oct 2026). Budget the time.
  • Expert work pays more. These roles' live median is $40/hr against $80/hr for law, medicine and finance roles and $65/hr for coding roles; within the same kind of work, generalist roles advertise 86.9% more than other roles (read on 17 Oct 2026).
  • A title is a signal, not a promise. These roles ask for no expertise in their title, which is not the same as accepting everyone: only 88 of the full descriptions we read (2.7%) say outright that a beginner may apply. Read each posting for the language, country and hours it asks.
