Am I now not eligible for Rising Talent Badge?

[a6428715]

Hi,

I got my 1st job at Upwork in February 2021.

I have fulfilled all the criteria for the Rising talent badge.

However, since it's been 7 months, I am late for Rising Talent?

If I don't get the Rising Talent Badge, am I eligible for Top Rated? 

Thanks.

Hi Nilima,

The Rising Talent status is assigned automatically when a freelancer meets the requirements listed here. This process is working as designed and we can't specify a reason why a freelancer isn't eligible for receiving the Rising Talent badge. Once you qualify, you should receive a notification letting you know. You can also be eligible for a Top-rated badge without a Rising Talent badge if you meet the criteria listed here. 

Thank you.

Pradeep.
