These two countries are secular liberal democracies but India is much poorer than Taiwan. China is culturally closer to Taiwan but in terms of population size and landmass it is closer to India.

I got an offer from AfterQuery - is this legitimate? Should I take it?

I recently got accepted for a remote part-time contractor role with AfterQuery, and I’m trying to figure out whether it’s legitimate before moving forward.

From what I understand, the work involves helping create or review software engineering tasks used for AI training. The tasks seem related to coding, debugging, algorithms, system design, testing, and evaluating AI-generated answers. The posting says it’s aimed at current or recent CS/software engineering students.

The email says I was accepted into their “Silver” track at $75 per task. The next steps are to join their Slack, message a specific person there so they can verify my account, and then finish setting up my profile/payment/legal paperwork through their portal.

Has anyone worked with AfterQuery before, especially through their expert/contractor platform? Is this a legitimate opportunity, and is there anything I should watch out for before giving them payment/tax information?

Brief AI summary of the position:
AfterQuery is hiring college-level software engineering experts to create and review coding challenges used to train AI models. The role involves writing questions about algorithms, debugging, system design, APIs, testing, optimization, and software engineering best practices, then evaluating AI responses for technical accuracy.

“Cultural Marxism refers to a school or offshoot of Marxism that conceives of culture as central to the legitimation of oppression, in addition to the economic factors that Karl Marx emphasized.[1] An outgrowth of Western Marxism (especially Antonio Gramsci and the Frankfurt School) and finding popularity in the 1960s as cultural studies, Cultural Marxism argues that what appear as traditional cultural phenomena intrinsic to Western society, for instance the drive for individual acquisition associated with capitalism, nationalism, the nuclear family, gender roles, race and other forms of cultural identity;[1]”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural\_Marxism\_conspiracy\_theory

“Cultural Marxism is a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory that misrepresents Western Marxism (especially the Frankfurt School) as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness. The conspiracy theory posits that there is an ongoing and intentional academic and intellectual effort to subvert Western society via a planned culture war that undermines the supposed Christian values[note 1] of traditionalist conservatism and seeks to replace them with culturally progressive values.”
