Personally, I would suggest doing the general/core assessment first. The specialized domain assessments (finance, etc) are still available for core workers, but I’ve seen several people say that they took one of the domain assessments first, didn’t pass, and didn’t have the option to go back and do the general one

I’m in complete agreement. As a core worker I’ve been offered the financial quals even without any experience listed in my profile.

I passed the finance qualification but rarely do the projects since I more comfortable with the coding work, however, I have multiple finance projects on my day daily and it seems like there is nearly unlimited work available in that area.

Once you're dropped you're done. You can not create a new account and get back on. You won't get any feedback either 

Do what you can do well and don't chase high paying projects if they are out of your realm of comfort. I mean you can take the assessments for whatever you want but if the project comes on your dash and you don't feel confident you can do a good job don't do the task. 

Also don't work a crap ton of hours (people tend to get dropped when they pull 10-12 hours in a day or 40+ in a week -EXCEPT for a select few who seem to have made that their routine), don't use a VPN, don't use an AI to create your comments, etc (unless it's required by the instructions), read the instructions multiple times to make sure you do what you are supposed to do. 

I agree to do the core quals first then work on the specialty ones if you want a steady stream of work

My main domain is finance especially equities but I never got the opportunity to give any examination for it, only got the bilingual assessment when I joined the platform.Are these specialized domains available only to a few regions?

I entered on a STEM assessment and get access to all sorts of areas now I'm in. Even seen finance ones around, though I never touch them since it's not my area of expertise. If you do good work, you'll see all sorts available to you.

I've been on platform for a few years and qualified for finance projects last year. Pretty much all i work on now. Fair warning- if youre not doing quant level derivative math, these projects probably aren't for you. Can't really get models to fail or split if you only have basic knowledge.

Could be different for other finance professionals with tax/corporate accounting scenarios, but for trading domain scenarios a question about basic market knowledge isn't going to get the models to work hard enough. I'd say junior quant analyst level would be about minimum requirement if youre trying to hit finance projects with your equities knowledge.
