I stumbled upon a part-time gig as a Data Entry Operator with T-Bank on hh in January, when my main job was slow. I applied after some thought, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on my experience.

Why I Signed Up

I'm already a client of T-Bank, and I trust their reputation - that's a big deal for me.The flexibility to work at my own pace was a major plus.The promised pay of 10,000 rubles was a nice bonus.To get started, I had to fill out a questionnaire, complete a short training, pass some exams, and submit my documents once I finished the training. All the instructions came via email, and it was a pretty straightforward process.

Initially, I was hired on a contract basis, and a few weeks later, I was switched to a freelance arrangement.

The Tasks I Was Given

After a quick and easy onboarding process, I dove into the tasks on January 23rd. However, I had to study the instructions, complete some test tasks, and pass an exam before I could start. I didn't ace the exam, and to be honest, the instructions weren't always crystal clear. If you're not familiar with the task, no amount of instruction will help you out.

The tasks varied, but they all required attention to detail and thoughtful execution: comparing product cards, transcribing audio recordings, verifying the accuracy of bot responses, and recognizing addresses, to name a few.

Task prices usually range from 0.5 to 1 ruble. I get the feeling that there were more tasks available in January, and they paid more than usual.

Feeling Like I Was Wasting My Time

After a few days, I started feeling like I was wasting my time. The thing is, I don't have a lot of free time, and I was hoping to earn at least 100 rubles per hour. Instead, I spent an hour re-taking the same training modules, which I'd already completed. Maybe it was a glitch on the website, but even now, when I log in to complete familiar tasks, I have to re-take the training and pass the exam again. It's super frustrating to waste time, and I often fail the exam.

Sometimes, the tasks aren't clear. For example, you're asked to compare two products based on their descriptions and characteristics. But when you click on the links, the descriptions don't match the ones in the task. You're left wondering how to complete it, and you waste time trying to figure it out. You can report the issue or contact support, but the response comes the next day.

My Earnings So Far

Despite the frustrations, I managed to earn around 700 rubles in January (not every day, mind you).

In February, I earned about 440 rubles, working less due to my main job.

By March 5th, I had earned 308 rubles.

Payments are made by the 15th of each month, with a minimum payout threshold of 20 rubles.

Perks of Working with T-Bank

I got a free Tinkoff PRO subscription.I have the Klex app on Android, but I'm an iOS user, so I can't comment on its usability.I have access to the learning platform with various courses.

The Downsides I Experienced

The instructions can be unclear.I have questions about the accuracy of correct answers.There's no quick feedback.You don't know where you went wrong.Despite the issues, I'll continue working on this platform, but I won't rely on it for my main income or sacrifice my other tasks for it.
