10% commission is too much. Also exchange rate is an issue. When I google USD vs INR I get around 83.4 and Upwork pays 81.4 or less. Now a days GST is deducted and also TDS. Now a days I am getting a feeling to look for job locally atleast I could get fixed income at the end of the month. If you guys can reduce the fees would be helpful.

I enjoy working independently because it allows me to take full ownership of my projects and explore innovative solutions, especially in the area of automation and data management. I thrive in environments where I can utilize my skills in Google Sheets, Google Forms, and scripting to streamline workflows, automate manual tasks, and deliver impactful results. The ability to continuously learn and apply new technologies to improve efficiency motivates me, and being self-driven has taught me discipline, problem-solving, and how to stay ahead of challenges.

Dislikes

One challenge I find with working on my own is the lack of immediate feedback. When you're working in a team or with a manager, feedback helps you refine your approach and improve. Without that, it's harder to gauge progress or identify potential improvements in real time.
