My philosophy is that any company I do side work for that hints of "adding horsepower through odesk" or similar, I fire as a client. With that philosophy, they don't value your work and need to see how things are on the other side.
- morgante 12y agoYou're right that 90% of the clients on oDesk are absolutely horrible, but so are most of the developers. There are some, however, who are genuinely just trying to find affordable talent in places where it's available. I know plenty of great developers in Russia and India making $40/hour as programmers for US companies.
- learc83 12y agoI tried looking around on oDesk for contract work, but every time I clicked on a job and looked at the client's history they were paying less than $10 an hour on average. I couldn't find anything paying near $40 an hour.
