What is UpWork?

A platform for freelancers in a wide number of roles, especially tech.

Yes, I recently started freelancing through Upwork and am finding the whole process very straightforward and transparent. Starting work didn't require a lot of documents. Super excited to grow my portfolio on Upwork!

I mean its fine.... Mine are at 5% and its hard having to go up to 10% in a year.

You wont, projects below 10% will stay where they're at.

I saw and am very intrigued by this...don't think it's going to be useful for me in the long run, but interested in seeing if anything relevant pops up

Really? That's great news. I was freelancing before through Upwork and even recommended it to my cousin.

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark? Had a few recruiters recently suggesting I’d get 25% more by moving to a competitor but no telling whether that’s a short term-gain for a longer term hit.
