50/50
November 7, 2020

I've been in Upwork for almost two years now, you need to know what clients are the best fit for you, some clients stop responding and Upwork lowers your score (and preventing you from getting more jobs) but if you build relationships with clients and choose the ones that are a good fit then it will run smoothly. Ive been frustrated for some time because of this and no response from Upwork. There are very bad clients that just use you, say didnt like your work (beacuse they don't want to pay) and your only option is to give a refund because if not they would leave you a bad review. Upwork should really work on the review system, it SUCKS.

This is a great platform to get jobs online. I have only had good experience with all the clients that I have worked for and I would never have got the opportunity to link with the variety of work that is on offer without being part of this platform. The pay is not always the greatest, but I'm glad to get the work.

Upwork has a huge number of companies in varying industries and categories that are looking to hire freelancers. Once we have our first job and complete it successfully, then it is easier to get the next ones. The algorithm and site design is excellent.

I have been on Upwork for 3+ years now and all opportunities I've got from the platform were all amazing. Not all of them were 5 stars but everything I got out of the jobs (experience, skills, training, knowledge,...) were priceless. Kudos to Upwork and their amazing staff.

During this time, it's really a challenge to secure a job that pays well and one which you enjoy. At Upwork, I was able to hit two birds with one stone. I was able to choose jobs I wanted and get paid generously in the process! I'm really grateful. I hope my journey with Upwork continues.
