What's the costs of living? Or what country are you from?
The NY/SV are expensive, as-in the most expensive places in the world. People there can only be paid the money they are paid because they are in a crazy place. It's understandable that remote work worldwide doesn't match up with that.
Anywhere else is cheaper, the range goes from half to 10x cheaper. So, what country are you from? what's your rate?
The point being. If upwork can only pay enough for the bottom 20% income bracket in the world. It is indeed terribly inappropriate for most of HN readers.
