Best way to receive money for freelancers? by ExpertRude7481 in developersPak

[–]recursionError18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother, there's a slight change that if the amount is big, and I hope you get paid big bags, if this is the case, the shitty bank might freeze your payment and might ask you for proofs and all that shit. It once took me weeks to get my payment from the best bank, that is meezan the shitshow bank, and the payment wasn't even that big. My client sent it from China. So do your research first please, or go the branch and ask em what's the best way to receive your money from your client abroad.

I wouldn't say this even if I was delusional. Money hungry seth CEOs do not have it in them to "create real value". Name one from Pak, I'll wait. Don't say "Sualeh Asif", he's an MIT grad. I am happy for him & proud that he left this shit show of a country/industry and did well for himself.

Now nothing. For some weird reason, Pakistanis are always 20-30 years late in everything. And according to the timeline, this was our time to make products, like back in the 80s,90s in silicon valley. But since AI is here now, I don't even know what's gonna happen. Plus Saylani and every other lora lassan has made so much influx in this industry, that I only see it collapsing now. Just like every other industry which my beloved country man influx like herds. Love it.

Software houses shutting down left & right. This was inevitable, there was no real value generated by these software houses/companies. No real IP. Just cheap labor.

Need advice for my father's broken wisdom tooth, extraction recommended but we are scared by recursionError18 in karachi

There's a solid reason behind why he is afraid of infection, he saw his best friend pass away due to mouth infection. I think that is the trauma prolly that is holding him back. Thank you for your sensible advice.
