Sounds great! I just had doubts, because most of job ads require full-time developers, but I'm sending my offer as a contractor.

Your Python Engineer job looks very interesting. Do you help with visas?

thanks! About scripts I think they won't be useful for anyone, because most of them are like: "scrape all apps from app store", "scape 30 million business profiles from website A.", etc. But anyway will try to put some :)

yes, I have similar experience, I just developed own python scraping solution to automate the process. But many of clients want script plus data and willing to pay only $15.

Hi real developer. Please give me advice how to become real python developer. I just started to learn python from scratch, I've developed my first django website ( http://review.food-singapore.com/ ). I have developed many scripts/scrapers (but seems that's just pathetic) And now when I'm trying to apply any full time python job, almost all require link to github/some project which I don't have. How to get any real python position?

yes, just updated title, because my post about upwork experience, not freelance in general, as many people pointed in comments.

Thanks for the advice. Actually I already started to search full time job. Enough odesk freelancing for me. :)

You're right.

you missed part "without any programming skills". I know there are good coders from those countries, I was talking about those who underbidding and work for $1 per hour doing manual/low quality work

I was just telling about my experience working on odesk (read biggest freelance website). This is not first case of stupid client and I'm not first day there.

What kind of backup? Link to my profile? Ok will update post now.

Looks nice, I hope they will also improve design of vlc player soon. :)

good debunking, thanks

I dont believe in russian newspaper, this is just fiction. They make money on this kind of articles.
