Client is too good to be true! Freelancers
Got hired to be an independent contractor for a very very young start up in the US.
My clients are 2 young tech guys trying to make it big into AI. Their product is sooo good investors are lining up at their doorstep. They started making in big a few weeks after I started with them.
Grabe, sobrang bait at galante nila.
Once a week lang kami nag z-zoom, I work on flexible time. I am getting paid $8/hr for 40hrs a week pero yung totoong workload ko is less than 10 hours sa isang linggo.
May isang time, sabi ni Client A "I need you to test an app in a couple of phones" pinadalhan nya ako ng Google Pixel 9, and iPhone 14! (May ibang unit pa and tablets not worth mentioning 😂)Brand new lahat. Yung ending I have about a dozen of new phones na low to midrange to test out the apps.
Next, they wanted to employ me directly. Not as an independent contractor anymore.
They will pay me $16/hr full time Annual HMO Flexible time They will also send me company merch, company trips, etc.
And the sweetest part? Official onboarding ko with them, they are giving me Apple products as a "sweet" signing bonus 😭
Macbook Air 13 16/512gb Airpods 4 Apple Watch Series 10
Na kumpleto na dream ecosystem ko because of them. 🫶😭✨
