What to do if there are two Upwork accounts, a very old one and a new one?

Question

Freelance

Made an upwork account. I remembered that 5 years ago another account was made to another mail. Everything is zero on both accounts. No orders, etc. The difference is that one account has a registration date of approximately 2015, while the other has a registration date of 2021.

I wrote to technical support, they said one should be deleted.

Question: which one to remove? Old or new?

Does the old account have an advantage over the new one? Does it say somewhere that the account was registered in 2015? Does this add credibility compared to Novoreg?

Answer 1

I deleted the old one when I registered. It's easier to get a raizing talent badge on the new one.
And he will help to take the first orders.

Answer 2

In general, it doesn’t matter the entry threshold is quite high, and if a person can overcome it, then it doesn’t matter to him what number he has in his profile

Answer 3

The age of the account does not affect. I would leave a new one.
