I became freer by being able to work remotely. A wide range of jobs and a good level of service allow me to be geographically anywhere in the world, I only need Internet access. There were never any problems with the withdrawal of earnings. Highly recommend.

The first time I applied to join Upwork I was not accepted for not having the necessary experience. A while later I tried again and succeeded. So far everything has turned out very well, there is a lot of competition but the Upwork service is very good.

I was with Upwork for 9 years and I have no major issues with them. They have help me move up and live a better life compared to those days were I was still working in an office.

Upwork help me both financially and professionally. I learned so much things and variety of skillsets because I have the leeway to do it while I am helping my clients from Upwork.

Thank you Upwork and please continue to serve your purpose.

As my title say's "Quality Service Provider". I have been working in Upwork (Formarmarly: oDesk) since 2010. This place enabled me to generate enough money for my living. Moreover, day by day they improve the system and make opportunities for those who are professionals. Though I was disappointed at the beginning when they started to charge for Connects, later I discover this system provides more opportunities for those are serious in their works. The freelancing market was going downwards because everyone is considering that "they can apply, then google and do the job". It's not that simple. You must have the right knowledge to do a job rather than just take a job and then leans on clients' money. And Upwork just find a way to filter out professionals and give a better opportunity to them. I am grateful to UpWork for the opportunity they gave me. Its changed my life.

Upwork platform is a great place to work. I have been working there for several years and the connection between clients and contractors is very easy. Of course, the fee for the first 500$ earned with a client is 20% and it is a bit high, it offers a solid platform to work in. And also it incentives the long term work because the fees are being reduced once you grow up with a client.
Also, it offers a nice place to ger and gives feedbacks that allow contractors to find easily experts with a lot of work done.
I tested other platforms like Workana, Guru, and Freelancer, but Upwork is much better than those platforms.

The quality of projects & clients that you get here is what makes this site the best in the world. Early payments to freelancers during Covid was the best decision.
