超哥短评：

没有注明教育背景。

从2007年开始，Isabel兼职做翻译/文案，同时发起了自己的翻译社Network Translations，开始承接多语言的翻译项目，担任项目经理（外包翻译项目）

2011年成为oDesk的本地化项目经理，2013年做了一年的Lingotek的本地化项目经理。

Quote Translations是她现在业务品牌。

​大单

Izabel最大的项目分别是2013-2016年的20.2万美金和2016-2020的15.7万美金。

费率

过去的时间，Izabel的费率长期在12-33美金/小时之间徘徊。

起步

在Upwork的起步是2010年的2月，第一年并没有什么成果，只有一单。接下来第二单就是2011年2月。

早期项目从葡萄牙语的文章写作、翻译开始。

开始没多久，就拿了两个差评。

​

​转型

从2011年的8-9月起，她在Upwork真正开始活跃起来。

而她也正式转型项目经理，展开了新的生涯。

根据时间线，最早的项目可能和oDesk平台上的机会有关。

而后，自己翻译的项目她很少接，转而承接的基本上都是多语言的项目经理工作。

她进入了一个竞争相对小很多的领域，成为了资源的调度组织者，接到的项目也开始逐渐变大。

帮助一些大型的平台、翻译公司担任项目经理，和客户沟通，调配资源，完成项目，她也获得了较为体面的收入。

折算成人民币，在不到九年的时间里，她赚到了将近400万。

认识到自己在沟通和项目管理上优势，她在价值链上逐渐找到了自己合适的位置。

Izabel的故事，给了你什么启发？
