a mi la mayoría de clientes que me han venido para que les termine un trabajo porque "un freelance les dejó colgado" han sido por freelances de la india o de argentina. Como decía el forero anterior, los de la india son muy baratos pero no dan mas que problemas.
Recuerdo el ejemplo de una app nativa de iPhone, el cliente pidió presupuesto en India, Australia (tiene conocidos allí) y España, y fueron: 1500 - 10000 y 4000 por la misma app. Obviamente eligió el indio. Pero paso lo mismo que comentaba el forero anterior, no se si será una pauta: Te entregan el trabajo y falta la mitad por hacer, y así lo van arrastrando durante meses. Al final la app la entregaron casi acabada. Una vez el cliente la revisó y publicó en appstore, con el uso detecto una serie de fallos, pero como el indio ya había cobrado, "ya no contestaba mails ni tfno" asi que me tuvo que pasar a mi el codigo y corregir yo los fallos.
