So every Ethiopian client I got is so weird, I swear. Disrespectful, bad at communication, and zero appreciation for the work. I used to think it was just me, but after asking other designers and tech people, it’s the same story. They expect huge changes like it’s a single click, when in reality, it’s like destroying the entire project and rebuilding it from scratch.
Then I worked with international clients, and man, the difference is insane. I had a meeting with a famous guy who started his own startup, and while presenting his project, he said thank you at least 20 times. Finished the project, and he even gave me a bonus almost equal to one of the project price just to show appreciation. That’s when it hurt—realizing how bad things are here.
We really need to work on our communication and respect as a country. It’s not just about money; it’s about valuing people’s work.
