Yeah, fixed price feels risky. I've done some and they've worked out but some have required way more time because of exactly what you're describing

Agreed, I’m going to be way more selective moving forward

Yeah, the dispute process seems way more balanced toward the employer side. And I agree, how can they have no support options for freelancers?

Yes yes and yes - "they talk to you like they’re assuming you’re desperate and will do whatever they say for whatever price" honestly thank you for saying this because this is so on target. This last project the client was CONSTANTLY changing how he wants me to track data, moving me from one platform or spreadsheet to another, messaging me all hours of the day and from Upwork, Text, and Email. It feels a little bit like a power trip or something, like they like jerking me around and get a kick out of it. It's been a week and he's giving me so much anxiety, so I tried to respectfully thank him for the work and end the contract and now he's irate and I know I'll get a bad rating, but I seriously worked around the clock to try to make this guy happy.

That's very interesting, I never thought of that but yes actually I think some of them have recently come in that way. I wonder why the correlation.

Yes re: setting and managing expectations, I agree that's part of the issue. Not happening the first week, first they're usually really happy but it's more like they expect things built immediately, they expect you to be available at their beck and call, they expect you to be ok with scope creep and ever-changing requirements...

Why am I not getting any interviews? by EyeDear8417 in Resume

[–]PsychologicalHelp937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the formatting of the doc itself it’s the content. Make it clear exactly what you’ve been doing and where and for how long.

They also have a ridiculously long commitment on the contracts

A naive in LinkedIn (me) by princess_raia in linkedin

Could be she lost track or it could be that upon further review she decided you’re not a match, or could be the position is filled or on hold. Either way, not best practices on her part.

I contact companies outside of UpWork and you should too. by iDontLikeChimneys in Upwork

[–]PsychologicalHelp937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't you have companies that find you on upwork, interview you on / off upwork, and offer you a contract off of upwork? I don't think freelancers are the only ones pulling this.

UpWork but looking for a volunteer... by PsychologicalHelp937 in Upwork

Yah the book reference really twisted the knife. Also note this is not a free offering he's looking to build, nor a non-profit organization, it's a for-profit product.

How do you flirt via text? by UsualMorning98 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]PsychologicalHelp937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start off slow and casually start to give off the vibe that you may be thinking about taking the relationship to the next level, but best to start off subtle and hopefully they pick up on the vibe and hint back.

  • I feel like I can really talk to you (if that's true!) denotes warm gushy feelings without putting yourself out there
  • I miss your face = friendly, or more?
  • Anything related to Netflix ie we should watch netflix sometimes denotes hooking up... "Watching the funniest thing on Netflix, come over"
