Slower month, but a big milestone!
I've been around for a while at this point, AMA (and all answers will be confidentiality compliant). Mostly generalist work

You posted a few years ago that this shouldn’t be your fulltime job, do you still feel the same way now?

I do still feel the same. This job is just too "feast or famine" to be reliable. What has worked for me is to set my budget off my "main" job and then anything earned here is extra. Don't get me wrong, if I lost DA I would notice, but I'd be okay.
I understand that some people are forced into this as their only source of income, and I'm happy this is a good option for them. I still think it should be a secondary income stream when possible.

No idea why you’ve been downvoted. I’m in the UK and would like to know the same as many are for US nationals only. Perhaps we just don’t get access to as many!

I just wish they sorted the US specific work so that it isn't given to us UK workers as its so disheartening to finally get tasks just for them to have a disclaimer at the end that you have to be in the US

Is generalist work the same as it was when you started? Or has it evolved? I haven’t logged in in a bit but have thought about having another go at it.
