- The client side just don't seem to understand what a database is - job posted for database administrator often turns out to be a requirement for a front end web developer.
- Same goes for technical architect.
- Requests for deep expertise with a rate of $3 an hour which seems like a joke but the job gets hundreds of proposals.
- Client side almost never closes jobs that have been hired or expired - way too much junk.
- The search functionality is just rubbish.
- The fees/commission are mental for the service offered.
