Is it legal to leave UpWork?

Question

Upwork

Two questions
1. If a client wants to hire me as a full-time office employee, is that a legitimate reason to leave UpWork?
2. If I was made a co-founder, is that a legitimate reason to end my contract with UpWork?

Answer 1

Do you need to bother so much?
Customers come and go, but an Upwork account is expensive. Moreover, a side job may be required at any time.
Just silently work outside of Upwork and that's it. Most importantly, do not discuss it in the chat;) The contract can be closed with the note "work completed successfully."

Answer 2

Money loves silence, and a talker is a godsend for Upwork :) Close the contract with a good review, work calmly offline.

Answer 3

According to the upwork rules, you cannot work for the employer for two years after the end of the contract.
That is, you break the rules in both cases.

Answer 4

Change the contact person of one of the parties. Depends who needs it more.

Answer 5

Just close the contract with the customer, give each other positive feedback and calmly continue to work directly, without talking about it to the upwork support customer.
