Read about how MIT PhD Daniel Z earns extra income on Outlier

"Daniel has enjoyed the combination of earning extra cash while contributing to AI development and has made over $4,000 on Outlier".

Outlier is life changing for me, I have a lot more peace and I can work from anywhere whenever I want. I now have time for myself and hobbies without being tired. I could plan to go on a trip and work a couple of hours per day. I'm a digital nomad with a DTV for Thailand and it feels like it's getting close to living that dream, you see those influencers have on social media.

Since I started working on Outlier, I can save money that I can invest in my future. It gave me stable work for 30+ hours per week. Even in Italy, it's very hard to get a stable job like that. I don't have to pay rent as I live with my family, so I use the money to help them & buy groceries.

I like that I can contribute to AI technology and have flexible work hours. I’m working towards my Masters, so it’s nice having time for that while making some extra income.
