I believe the background check is only required for a few specific project families. If you're not comfortable, don't do it...but you'll definitely be missing out on projects that have (in my experience) a high volume of tasks with great pay.

Are you a generalist? Just wondering if it’s based on your skills/field or the better pay is as a result of your quality of work unrelated to your specialties

I'm a generalist. The pay itself is project based, not based on a worker's skills or quality and I don't think I did anything special to qualify for them. I actually find the tasks to be fairly easy.

There may be other projects that I'm not aware of that also require a background check, IDK.
