I said great, and then he said i even got an invitation from client but when he demanded samples I didn't know what samples were and how to upload them? TBH, it's very painful, I am holding 7 reviews on upwork all with 5* ratings, Alhumdullillah.. but, struggling due to not getting orders. Lack of work, getting down by upwork algorithms as a Pakistani.

    I am a data and bi consultant with almost 14 years of experience. The problem is why the quality of services of Pakistani consultants is being red flagged due to the pay and salary for starters. That's why they start doing freelancing and these freshers think that jack of all is better than the master of one. I am working in a multinational company as a consultant in Pakistan. What I found is that young people like instant gratification and slowly but surely approach is an alien thought to them. People like you can help new upcoming gen Z people that quality of the product is important to clients and they will mostly not compromise on it. And for this you have to work for years to master a particular set of skills.

    If the Upwork algorithm is smart enough to understand that there are a number of freelancers who might not be up to the mark from a certain country, then why block the entire country's population from using it? Also, why does it affect the freelancers who are working from Pakistan with a 'Top Rated' or 'Top Rated Plus' badge, which consists of the top 3% people who have been delivering quality over the years? Upwork algorithm should be smart enough to understand the fact that these people with the badges are not amongst the remaining 97% of the people, regardless of what country they're from.
