A NOTE FROM JEREMY

Understand the work first.
Then decide if it's worth a try.

I started Expert Next to make AI work opportunities easier to understand for people who are bilingual and have expertise of their own. I've laid out what the role involves, what it asks for, and how to prepare, so you spend less time guessing and have more to go on when you decide.

Everything here, including the referral, is free. You'll apply on Mercor's official site, and Mercor makes all assessment and hiring decisions.

01 / THE WORK

AI makes the images.
You make the call.

One prompt, two AI-generated images. Your job is to compare them closely, pick the better one, and explain why in a few clear sentences of English.

What matters is careful, consistent judgment. Quality counts for more than speed.

ARTIFACTS

02 / YOUR FIT

Different fields.
Same good judgment.

You don't need to be a "visual expert." Mercor doesn't require a specific degree. What's worth checking is whether you have these strengths.

01 — LANGUAGE

You read English well
and write it clearly.

You can follow English prompts and task instructions, and write clear reasoning in English.

Comprehension + written clarity
02 — OBSERVATION

You see the big picture
and the small details.

You're willing to study two images closely and catch what's off in content, structure, text, or rendering.

Attention to detail + quality sense
03 — REASONING

You can say why,
not just what you like.

You apply shared standards consistently and break your reasoning into short, well-supported explanations.

Professional judgment + consistency
Your field is where your thinking starts.

Whatever your background, the actual work in this role is AI image evaluation. Your languages and experience can help you show what you can do; whether you're a fit is up to Mercor's assessment.

03 / YOUR NEXT STEP

Take the onboarding test when invited

Complete the onboarding test as scheduled by Mercor. The listing shows US$20 for the test; pass it to move on to project work at US$30/hour.

ONBOARDING
BEFORE YOU APPLY

Specific examples beat impressive titles.

Prepare one example where you spotted a problem, compared options, and explained a decision. Practice telling it in English: what you noticed, what you based it on, and why you made that call.

Read Mercor's interview guide

Preparation tips are my own. Interviews, test invitations, and task assignments depend on your application and Mercor's notices. Applying or interviewing doesn't mean you're hired.

04 / GOOD TO KNOW

Questions you might have
before applying.

Know the terms first,
then make the call that fits you.

Do I need to be a designer, photographer, or visual expert?

No. The listed requirements are fluent English, a sharp eye for visual detail, and clear written reasoning. No specific degree is required. You can come from any field, but you still need to pass Mercor's assessments.

What does "bilingual" mean for this role?

The listing requires fluent English, and the application checklist includes a Bilingual Competency step. It doesn't spell out which second language or what level is expected for each, so confirm in Mercor's application flow. Don't assume any two languages will qualify.

Is US$30/hour guaranteed income?

It's the listed hourly rate for project work, not a fixed salary or guaranteed hours. The onboarding test pays US$20, listed as paid whether or not you pass; you need to pass to get project work. Actual workload, billable work, and payment follow your contract and project needs.

Does remote mean anyone, anywhere can apply?

No. The listing says Remote but doesn't name eligible countries. Mercor's referral policy says that when a listing doesn't specify a region, it defaults to the US, Canada, the UK, or the EU. If you're elsewhere, confirm your eligibility with Mercor before putting time into your application. The listing also notes it can't currently support H-1B or STEM OPT candidates.

Read Mercor's location and referral policy
Is this a full-time job? How do schedule and pay work?

It's an independent contractor engagement, not employment. The listing says you can work remotely on your own schedule, with weekly payment via Stripe or Wise for services provided. Projects may be extended, shortened, or ended early depending on needs or performance.

Does this site charge a fee or guarantee me a job?

This page is put together by Jeremy. The information and referral are free; there's no fee and no promise of being hired. This is an independent referral page, not Mercor's official recruiting site. Mercor handles applications, assessment, hiring, and work assignments. Submit your resume and details directly to Mercor; this page doesn't collect resumes or contact information.
