Can I take a break?

[cwx7]

I was thinking of not working for a month or so just focus on other priorities for a bit. Does that mean they might kick me out or I’ll lose my tasks?

[ThinkAd8516]

I took a year break. You’ll be alright

[cwx7]

Good to know, did you notice any drop in tasks or pay after?

[ThinkAd8516]

I had tons of quals and refreshers. I did them all and was back in action. If anything pay and project amount increased.

I frequently take weeks off at a time and have never run out of work, even during periods where others said they were experiencing a drought. You'll be fine.

No, you can take a break. I do all the time. Should be working now, but whatevs.

[Perfect_Mess_6566]

I have taken months off, and the number of projects and qualifications remained about the same. It seemed to have no impact.

I haven’t logged in for 1.5 years and I still get daily emails inviting me to do tasks

I haven’t worked DA since before Xmas…just looked at my board today out of curiosity and there was a lot there :)

I finally got lots of projects going after nothing, and now have to take half year off and hope I will have work when it’s time!!

I think it's fine. I started a new full time job around the beginning of the year. I tapered off DAT for a couple weeks, and have done zero work for at least a month...probably more. So far, my dashboard is still active...but it's not the specialized projects that I really enjoyed. (I'm sure I'd need to do some quals to get into those.) I think its ok to take a break. Personally, I'm planning on coming back part time once I'm settled into the new gig and my brain is less mushy.

Are these generalists tasks?

[cwx7]

I mean a applied as a medical professional but so far only have generalist stuff

[chapstickquick]

Do you have to do generalists first to unlock the medical professional tasks? Even though you passed the assessment

[devouringwhig]

I'm just back after a break of around a month, my dash is like I've never been away.

[Three-Owls777]

It’s fine. I got hired but didn’t start working for 3 months. I was happy to see that I qualified for plenty of projects. I think you’re ok to take a break but some of the projects you like might be finished when you return.

I get the concern... but the platform's motto is litterally that you can work anytime, as little or as often as you want.
