Hi ALL,

I received a trial assignment just 15-20 days ago. Completed it successfully and was paid the next day. Now I have been hired and working on hourly rate. So I will say gdev is not fake….

Enjoy,
Brij

I agree. Still a good place to keep in mind. You\’ll never know when you might need some five dollar gigs or need something get done with minimal budget.

Great post. I'm also working as freelancer for 6 months from now. and this is all I can say – I earn more, and stress less. I also publish my own personal site – pinoyfbt.com – because of this.

Oops I'm getting off-topic now. So 2 thumbs up for very nice topic!

People, are you so naive to see the truth behind all of this? It's just oDesk! They're just using people to work for free! They are never paying anything! Look at the profiles of their "well-paid" ex-contractors, most of that are accounts without any history, job description is hidden, and what? Newbies are earning 18k+, 100k+??? This comany even don't exist, and you think that they paid to odesk 10% (odesk's fee from payments to employees) of the money they spent already there (what is MORE THAN $2Millions!) Are you really so blind???

Hi,

Just received the offer form gDev yesterday. It will be one week testing phase and they will be paying me fixed amount for that. If things work out well, I will be hired for hourly rate.

Enjoy,

Hi,

First of all I thank Florante Valdez for helping out all the freelancers by putting up these blogs.

I am working as a full time employee and also started working as a freelancer. I received an offer from gDev on oDesk. Yesterday I cleared the test and within one hour I came to know that I cleared the test. The person who was my point of contact was from Philippines and asked me if I was ready to appear for skype interview after 2-3 hours. I said yes and the interview was scheduled immediately. I cleared the interview and I was informed that I will be endorsed to HR by that person and I will receive a test assignment.

The offer I received was of $0.99. They did not mentioned that I will be paid for clearing the interview but they have mentioned that for the test assignment I will be paid based on the hourly rate mentioned in the job posting on oDesk.

What I have observed that they are putting up job postings which are invite only and visible to only those people whom they invite.

I will post more details once I hear back from them. Meanwhile if anyone can share their recent experience it will be very helpful.

Thanks,
Brij
