1|Upwork 是什麼

說到海外接案一定沒有人不知道 Upwork

Elance-oDesk 合併後誕生的 Upwork

擔任跨境海外接案實現遠端工作願景的自由工作者接案平台領頭羊滿20年!

Upwork 是全球最大的自由工作者人力市場,

隨著越來越多的聯繫與獨立員工轉往線上、知識工作(例如軟體、購物及其他知識類工作)同時也轉至線上作業。

這種轉變使客戶可以更快、更輕鬆地即時與人才聯繫與合作,且讓各地專業人員不必在固定時間與地點工作。

自由工作者每年透過 Upwork 賺取超過10億美元,總部位於加州山景城,並在加州的舊金山、挪威的奧斯陸都設有辦公室。

2|Upwork 的使用身分

發包的客戶則是有個人客戶及企業客戶兩種,

有些中文用戶推薦在 Upwork 接到案後再低價發包給別人賺取差價,

我不建議外包給別人!

想起很久以前的網路笑話中的美國天才工程師,就是把公司分配給他的工作低價發包給印度工程師,

他自己每天在公司耍廢準時下班,考績還非常好爽領高薪好幾年後才被踢爆,結果大家都說他是天才XD

2.3|為什麼我不推薦呢?

  1. 因為 Upwork 有 time tracker 會每十分鐘截圖一次你的電腦螢幕到你的 Work diary
  2. 你外包給別人也代表你同時要告訴接案者你的帳密,這會導致對方直接重設你的薪資提領帳戶把你的薪資領光、再取代你的帳戶
  3. 就算可以手動記錄工時也是要你的發包客戶同意,你的工時才會受承認進入薪資審議流程

會這樣說的人,他們應該沒有實際接案過或是他們只接 Fixed-Price project 甚至是很早期的接案者!

如果你可以克服上列這三項困難的話,當然很歡迎你接案外包給別人。

也拜託告訴我你怎麼克服這三個困難的!拜託~

只是我覺得很迂迴,又怕會衍伸出其他沒預料到的意外情形造成款項問題。

直接用 Agency 身份接案就好,收費比較有保障又不必花其他的註冊跟外包費!
