Is upwork really worth it?

 I never work without a retainer...perhaps you might consider that strategy. Then you're at least partially protected.

Hi Rai,

I think the Upwork policy is that you get funds 5-working days after approval. May be they are counting days after you fill the paperwork. 

You have mentioned 3-days. 

You may have to wait for 2-more days ( the days may increase if they do not count Saturday and Sundays.)

If I am wrong, please correct me so my also be aware of exact mechanism here.
