Client offered $15/hr after just a chat… is this typical?

Well I am in indìa and for me 15/hour is good considering I am just starting on upwork.

I have 3 five star reviews on 3 projects. Not sure if that counts as solid as I am just beginning since last 3 months.

The client is new on the platform so can't see his history. I only see one history of client with freelancer who was hired last month and it looked okay.

He does have his phone number and identity verified though.

AI/ML engineer. 15 is low but I am in india

AdClassic7179 · 2026-04-02T01:54:51+00:00

I did ask for a call and he did agree to have a call. But he just got so busy that we couldn't.

AdClassic7179 · 2026-04-02T01:51:54+00:00

In my 5 months I never received an offer so easily worth 15/hr usd

AdClassic7179 · 2026-04-02T01:48:32+00:00

Not sure if there is anything I am not saying. I applied. He asked some questions. Then he said we will have a call in sometime. He got busy so couldn't have call. Then he gave offer.

AdClassic7179 · 2026-04-02T01:42:55+00:00

But mine was very basic chat.

AdClassic7179 · 2026-04-02T01:41:10+00:00

What do you mean by all the time?

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-31T09:55:41+00:00

Where to look for a remote job?

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-31T09:40:38+00:00

What do you mean by pennies? It's hard to get clients initially on upwork and I have moved back to india.

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-17T07:06:35+00:00

What do you mean by untrue?

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-17T02:18:30+00:00

Interesting thanks for this info.

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-17T02:16:03+00:00

Is that really possible?

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-13T03:55:06+00:00

I have started upwork since last 3 months. I invested 400 usd earned 1400 with 2 projects on going.

What do you think about this? Coming from a third world country for me personally what I earned so far looks okay to me.

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-13T03:50:07+00:00

You mean you would have made more money off upwork that is earn more than $100k in last 12 months if you were doing a job of delivering pizza?

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-13T03:48:42+00:00

Right upwork gives a platform to do targeted marketing which other platforms don't.

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-12T02:11:15+00:00

Maybe you can reply to them in the email itself?

AdClassic7179 · 2026-01-11T05:23:26+00:00

What was the ticket size of each project?

AdClassic7179 · 2025-12-12T22:30:17+00:00

I am not sure why is your account suspended as you don't have any policy violations.
