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.

Sergey, one advice - please do NOT work for $15/hr. All it takes to charge $XXX/hr (or $8X-$9X/hr ) is just to ask for it. Seriously. And keep away from odesk/upwork/etc.. race to the bottom sites. Search and contact prospective clients yourself - as if you'd looking for standard job. No middle-man is needed here.

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