We pay well above market rate (e.g. $60/hr for a frontend dev in Ukraine), so whatever you're talking about doesn't apply to us.

Some people on Upwork are dishonest or unskilled, but some are also excellent. Hiring is hard, regardless of the talent pool.

If you have better ideas of where to find contractors, please let me know. I'm always open to finding a better or fairer marker than Upwork.
