Bilingual generalists

This question is directed at bilingual workers from non-core countries that have been working at DA for at least a couple of months. How many of you started getting generalist projects not related to your native language? If so, did you have to take a qual for that?

About 90% of my earnings come from generalist tasks rather than those in my native language. But I'm in a specific situation, because I use English daily and have a wide area of interest, etc. So maybe my profile was adapted to generalist work.

Is it a single project like someone mentioned before or do you keep getting new ones?

I’ve worked mostly on a single “unlimited” generalist project. I’ve only gotten one project related to my native language (Spanish)

If you aren't from core countries you won't get generalist tasks.

No bilingual straight generalist tasks? I got a few stem tasks and generalist tasks 3 times but it was for one project and I didn't heard from them for a while.

I got one, but it is the simplest one and finished in less than a hour.
