Hello everyone.
If there is another topic/thread covering this subject, I apologise beforehand because I failed to screen through the huge flow of information than can be found here. Let me also thank you in advance for taking time to read and reply this post.
As soon as I opened my e-mail ibox, I found a job proposal from a client I have never worked with. Within the offer, the client included their contact related to a non-UpWork instant messaging app.
I tried to contact the client via the contract room, but it was not found; therefore, I eventually sent them a private message in order to clarify a few points of the offer and start communicating with the person who was hiring me.
Is this alright or not to directly defer communication to somewhere else, starting off with discussing the proposal? Because I thought that there would be no record of what was eventually agreed.
Am I being over-cautious?
