#52In person. I'll bring up I do IT stuff, web development. Turns out this guy's Wordpress dev vanished and he needs help with something. Then I have him for years.
How's the pay like? To me this sounds like a perfect recipe for getting cheap clients (either by choice or because their business legitimately cannot afford to pay market price for the work they want done).
I invoice $100 an update. I could do it for free, it's the gossip about you that counts.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
Assuming you're based in the West, a fast-food joint will pay more than Upwork.
Agreed. You get a little tired of seeing jobs advertised on Upwork that would require 2-3 months work to do properly for which a budget is set of $1000. And for which you are expected to commit to, on the basis of a one paragraph description of the requirements.
I stopped checking freelance sites years ago, after reading too many that were basically: "We want a site like Facebook. Budget: $500."

#55Global remote has been on a bit of a downturn in the last few years. There are many decent job boards out there, but the bigger problem is that many of them don't allow specifying remote within a country, or the US-oriented companies that post on them never specify that they only want remote within the US. You end up wasting time looking at a cool job that pays well, only to see "Remote (US only)".
A lot of the time the company cannot make it remote global because of tax and regulatory compliance. I work for a multinational company who has employees in at least a dozen countries, but we can't employ anyone who isn't in a country we don't have a registered company entity. Add to that the number of people we've had apply for jobs using AI and then turn out to have zero knowledge of what we've hired them for when…
Late to the reply:
This is kind of beside my point.
What I'm saying is if you can't hire me, that's fine, but I'd like a little bit less of my time wasted up front by stating clearly where a company is hiring instead of just "remote".

#56In addition to the (real, but somewhat overblown) downturn in tech, the main problem is that hiring is fucked. Both sides are in a scam/fraud arms race. Getting a job through the front door is basically impossible now - and if you want to try, you will need to lie and do all the dirty tricks your competition does, and even then, your conversion rate will be minuscule. An alternative is either to go through your netwo…
Lol… “technology will save the planet” Maybe what we needed was a classical and humanities education all along so that people would not abuse available technologies to their worst possible end because more people might have been aware of the outcomes of such behaviour. C’est la vie. Fires have a warm glow, at least.
Why do people believe humanities education would make people act ethically?
