a hundred percent. just a poor choice of words on my end. I'm generally asking higher pays, but I can literally take 1k a month if all I have to do is check some PRs 2 hours per week. pretty much what I was pointing at, even though it's an extreme example.
I've had my fair share of cheap a* clients in my early days with upwork (which I never figured out, my bigger clients came from outside), it's easy to spot one.
about hard work, I just wanted to set a boundary for the weekly hours I can contribute, and the intensity part is actually secondary (I think I should've left that out). but you touch on an important point, some things you just don't want to hear -- we are all adults, I get paid and I deliver, we all know that most likely everyone will get what they ask for, just that explicitly excluding "hard work" might raise unnecessary questions. useful info, thanks
