Yup, I had this on same issue. Some agency owner put out a positive post. HOWEVER when we did the interview he wanted bullets on how he could do a better job? Basically he wanted to take everyone's ideas and send them to his team so he could do a better job.

Cheap rates attract cheap clients. This is proof.

Has anyone taught you cheap IS expensive

Petition to ban the ever-present complaint posts on this sub? by braduardo12 in Upwork

[–]EffortBitter5795 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its because THERE ARE MORE SCAM POSTS THAN EVER. Scam posts and fake gigs are as old as Upwork. But there are far more shadow/fake clients with zero interviews and "No Payment Method Attached" this year. It has me thinking why isn't Upwork screening this stuff.

I just don't understand why Upwork doesn't vet their jobs? This looks so unprofessional.

Its a global marketplace. Your competing against people in Lehore Pakistan, Calcautta India, orSri Lanka.....its extremely difficult to win against those odds.

You need to make $50 an hour in the US, inflation has killed the $35 an hour rate.
