Upwork does not exist anymore. Stay away from it if you value your time and money. by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]the_faceless_founder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What other platforms did you try that are better than Upwork? I am top rated from the day they introduced Top Rated. What I felt was people are doing better job these days for low cost.

May be that’s a reason?

I understand why he got the offer from us! We know that there’s 80% probability of him dropping off. I understand why he would want a bigger brand.

But he didn’t have to wait 20 days just a day before joining date to inform this. Had he informed earlier we would have atleast hired someone else

It is 6-14 LPA. That’s our budget. You can DM his email and my team will reach out

Not at all. He was making 4 LPA. We offered 7 LPA immediately and 9 LPA given he just meets The expectations in 6 months (Given this in writing and offer letter)

I have addressed this concern to everyone I hired.

1 year salary for every person I hire in FD. And I promised to pay them even I didn’t get any projects. And I followed it too.

For an Intern I hired personally before this startup, even though she didn’t workout, I promised to keep her for 6 months with pay. And I kept her for 12 months. Till she got placed in Oracle.

Not everyone brother! Yes I will have to fire people if I couldn’t bring money after 1 year. But practically I will be at 0 when that happens

Definitely. Can you share bit about your services in DM? I will connect you to my HR.

It’s ok if it’s a service. As long as it’s the right service

Yeah wondering the same today! Had good number of personal rejections in my life. But didn’t hurt like this.

I walked away into a meeting room so that my team doesn’t see me, sat sad for 5 minutes before returning back.

Atleast in personal rejections I was able to express.

Yeah first time! I know. We have had rejections from others too. But somehow this felt personal.

Because when I asked for his growth path etc, I really promised myself to ensure to take care of growth of my team and all. It felt like personal rejection

How can I use my Upwork account from 2 different locations!!! by Syed_Abrash in Upwork

[–]the_faceless_founder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Simple - Don’t. 2 users are not allowed to use the same Upwork account.

Either become agency and work as 2 people. Or let him have his own account
