Overall Satisfaction with Upwork

I basically use Upwork to find clients and work with them. My clients at times ask me to do recruitment on Upwork on their behalf. Upwork gave me a career-changing opportunity. It allowed me to find the clients I liked to work with and not have to entertain clients that don't align with my principles.
  • Upwork allows you to easily filter the job listings and find the job that fits your preferences.
  • Upwork allows you to feel secure with every transaction with their payment system in place.
  • Upwork allowed me to do what I love and earn more while I'm at home or traveling.
  • Upwork should focus on allowing people to part of the platform based on test results and not just not accept them because there are lots of freelancers already with the same skill.
  • It should also be strict with some of the job postings like suspending those with just soliciting for free work or proposals.
  • Upwork should proactively provide free valuable to its top freelancers.
  • They should improve the metrics they use for the "Job Success Rate."
  • Upwork helped me to make five times more income.
  • It had helped me to create meaningful business relationships with clients all over the world.
  • Upwork helped me to live a better life, earning more while working less.
Freelancer.com is a big mess when it comes to its user interface. I have my different currency pricing on it and the listing is just a mess. I especially don't like that it will ask you to upgrade to increase your number of applications per month. Upwork provides better options by offering you at least 30 applications in a month (more or less).
Upwork is suitable for freelancers who are looking for a shift of career from the usual corporate setting to a more flexible online freelancing career. I believe it's best for beginners and pros - there are lot of opportunities for everybody. It's not suitable for people who like to work in a typical office - obviously! Upwork is great for us millennials who love working flexible or even work-leisure integrated lifestyles.
