Can't change country

I signed up for Upwork while I was travelling but didn't finish my profile. My country is set to Serbia but I now live in the US. Every time I try to access the account settings page to edit location it just redirects me to the "create profile" page. How am I meant to change my country before submitting my profile for review?

Hi there - my account refuses to let me change my country as well. I'm currently based in Canada and would appreciate if you could change my country to that.

I am from India and now live in the US. Every time I try to access the account settings page to edit location it just redirects me to the "create profile" page. How am I meant to change my country before submitting my profile for review?

So, I am trying to create my account on Upwork. Creating an account is so buggy.

 

1. I added my education and my work experience in India. It thinks that my current location is also India. Why? I am in Canada. I can't edit the location.

 

2. When I try to change my work experience location, changed it to Canada, now I can't save that. Page won't even scroll.

 

I am stuck. I can't even submit my application for review.
