近日，印度軟體工程師Srajan在網路上分享了自己堪稱「噩夢」的接單經歷，引發熱議。為了接單，他僅以3000盧比的極低價格為一名客戶開發網站。然而，技術上的簡單並未帶來合作的順暢，反而讓他陷入了無休止的精神內耗。
Srajan透露，這位擁有17年大廠經驗的客戶不僅要求每天進行長達兩小時的會議，且話題頻頻跑偏。客戶不僅索要他的生辰八字進行占星算命，還曾要求Srajan在會議中手把手教他使用AI編程工具Cursor。最離譜的是，在一次深夜通話中，客戶竟盯著螢幕稱Srajan的眼神顯示他「喝醉了」。
Worst freelance experience I ever had I once worked with a freelance client and built his website for ₹3k. It was literally the worst experience I've ever had. The client had 17 years of experience working at one of the WITCH companies as a manager i guess . The project itself wasn't very complex, so I agreed to do it. The real problem was the meetings. We had daily meetings that lasted around 2 hours, and most of the time we weren't even discussing the project. He wanted to talk about random things. He was heavily into astrology and even asked for my DOB so he could tell me what would happen in my future One day, I spent an entire meeting teaching him how to use Cursor and explaining my coding workflow. Another day, during a late-night meeting, he looked at me and said, "You can tell I'm drunk by looking at my eyes." I was like... what??? 💀 At that point, I just wanted out. I quickly finished the remaining work and told him I didn't want to continue after the project was done. He replied, "Yeh to karna hi padega." I blocked him. Later, I found out he made a post saying, "i underpaid my developer he made my website quickly for really cheap," and then another post saying that if I ever stole his startup idea, there would be consequences Brother, I genuinely did not care about the startup idea. It was one of the weirdest projects I've ever worked on. This happened about 6 months ago, and after that experience I decided I would never work for extremely cheap rates again. I could have posted his picture and exposed him, but I figured there's no point making enemies this early in my career. Crazy times, man
當Srajan試圖在項目結束後終止合作時，客戶竟強硬表示「繼續合作不是可選項」，並威脅若Srajan抄襲其創業想法將有嚴重後果。事後，Srajan果斷將其拉黑。他坦言，這次經歷讓他深刻認識到，永遠不要低估自己專業工作的價值，廉價接單往往伴隨著難以承受的隱性成本。
