  • “Hi, not really a member of this subreddit tapi kebetulan post-nya lewat. Mercor ini legit, aku setahun belakangan freelance di perusahaan lain yang serupa (DA.tech, Outlier). Di antara berbagai macam AI training companies, Mercor dan micro1 itu adalah dua company yang review work experiencenya paling bagus lah. Aku sendiri udah beberapa kali coba apply ke beberapa project di Mercor tapi belum ad”
