FAQ
How much does Mercor pay?
Expert work lands $65–90/hr. That's the ceiling track — expect less while you prove yourself early on.
Do I need an interview?
Yes — an AI-led interview plus ID verification. It's the hardest screening here, and it's the whole reason the pay ceiling is high.
What do I earn if you sign up through my link?
Nothing changes for you. I earn 20% of your pay, capped at 4× your accepted hourly rate.
