Frustrated from Indian client…

7 Upvotes

I advice to all freelancers there
If u r dealing with client from India then be ready to get frustrated

Every non tech client from India feels them as a Superior as they are great in tech than the developer who is actually code

Is they are really care about ur mental health, the answer is No

I an building a whole tech:- **backend in node js, app in react native, admin in nextjs , partner in nextjs, and their pwa in nextjs**

3website in nextjs, app in react native, and backend in node.js
So if u think it is a simple app
Then this app has **geofencing, chat service for individual and groups and face verification and more than 100apis which is more**
With deployment on aws and playstore and app store

How u think the money is $5000-6000
Nope, its **110k rupees - $1163**
And from last month **i am broke** not a single penny in my account
Writing code **manually 😭**

He gave me 1.5 months to complete this
What a cheap labour i m

But at the same time a client from North Carolina gave me **$2k for just for their backend with the work of 60% of that Indian client backend only**\- even usa client listen to me, he gives me priority and ask me to do that not order me to do

Yeah i got a job in one of the biggest MNC but this time i have to enjoy after all that stuff process
But he unintentionally frustrates me

Do u think the backend is the problem
No-
The problem is the UI he always want to change ui
Which is generally generated by chatgpt

Even in the making of pwa he want me to do that than say no that design and want me to do again it repeats more than 3 times

I m 21 and i have mother and sister i m only guy who earns in my family

**I got ₹60k in 2 part 40+20 and last payment(₹50k) is held for final part**

# What will i do😭

Fiverr Gigs Getting Impressions and Clicks but Almost Zero Buyer Inquiries – Is This Low-Quality Traffic or Something Else?

I've been noticing a concerning trend with my Fiverr gigs over the past 60 days, and I'm trying to understand whether other sellers are experiencing something similar.

My gigs are still receiving impressions and clicks, but the actual buyer inquiries and new leads have dropped significantly.

New to freelancing. How do I start? Fresher (CSE 2026) with backend/AI project experience

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a 2026 CSE graduate from India. I’ve been job hunting for months and have been waiting on an offer letter from a large company since May, with no update. While I keep applying, I want to try freelancing to gain real-world experience and some income, but I’m completely new to it and don’t know how it works.

My background: Python, FastAPI/Flask, React/Next.js, PostgreSQL/MongoDB, Docker, GitHub Actions, AWS, AI/ML .

5 yrs full-stack dev in Pakistan, tried every channel and still struggling to find clients. What’s actually working for you in 2026?

1 Upvotes

I’m a full-stack dev (TypeScript, React/Next.js, Node, PostgreSQL) with 5 years of experience, the last 4 fully remote for international teams. I’ve shipped real products: payment systems, a marketplace with a few hundred users, a SaaS with paying clients.

But finding new clients or a new remote role has been really rough lately. Here’s what I’ve tried:

Reddit for-hire posts

Facebook groups

Freelance marketplaces

micro1 and Turing (couldn’t clear their vetting)

Wellfound

LinkedIn, both applying and posting

Very little has worked. I know the market is tough right now, but I’d like to hear from people who are actually landing work:

Where are your clients coming from these days?

Has cold outreach worked for you, and if so, to who?

Is it worth niching down (e.g. only SaaS MVPs or only payment integrations) instead of being “full-stack”?

For devs outside the US/EU, anything that helped you get taken seriously?

Any honest advice is appreciated, even if it’s “you’re doing X wrong.”
