Hi!<p>I've been looking at lots of freelance job boards (such as oDesk, Elance, freelancer, guru, etc). I'm a software/web developer and I'd like to find some fun stuff to work on for some side money to help fund my startup ideas.<p>That is why I'm asking all of you freelancers out there, which is your favorite? Why is it your favorite? Which one is the safest from a freelancer point-of-view? (I don't want to get screwed).<p>This is an open discussion, any opinion is welcome!<p>Thanks and have a nice day!<p>- Tommy
General consensus from the last million threads along these lines: oDesk is the generally best of that bunch, and as long as you're working hourly and using their spyware they guarantee you'll get paid — but being the best out of those sites is kind of like being the winner of a paraplegic footrace. You'll do much better as a freelancer if you can do without them.
