To change your location on UpWork, go to your settings and click on the “Location” tab. From there, you can enter a new city, state, or country. Keep in mind that your profile will still say “Available for hire in X location,” so if you’re looking to work with clients outside of your current location, be sure to update your profile accordingly.
