"My best career decision and achievement that I made is joining Toptal"
What do you like best about Toptal?

The thing that I like the most about Toptal is the extensive selection of great and challenging projects you can work on. The platform also makes it easy to match talent with clients and requires minimum work on the talent side. Another huge benefit is that the payments are regular and on time, with everything handled by Toptal.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

Getting into the Toptal platform is difficult and requires a lot of preparation and several interview rounds, but it is definitely worth the effort. Also, depending on the jobs you are looking for and how you perform in clients interview, it can take some time to get your first gig.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allowed me to work for high-paying clients that I wouldn't be able to get without the platform. Also, because of the hard vetting process by Toptal, only high-level professionals can enter the platform, making it easy to get your first client, as there is less competition for the same job between talents.

"Top projects finding you!"
What do you like best about Toptal?

I have a great variety of projects available at all times and I don't have to think about payments. Toptal handles it all for me. It gives me a sense of security to focus on what I am best at, writing code.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

The only thing that can be thought of as a negative is that this is a remote only company and you don't have people to talk to in person but for regular meetups.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Connecting great developers with awesome projects around the world. I have worked with so many different clients on a cornucopia of projects that looking back I feel very privileged.

"I love everything about Toptal! The community is very supportive and helpful."
What do you like best about Toptal?

- Working remotely from any place with the top companies in the world - The Community is very supportive - The Platform itself is easy to deal with

What do you dislike about Toptal?

It's not related to Toptal but to the Freelancing model in general, which is the Unpredictability of work. So, you should be prepared if this is your chosen model of work.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Working from any place in the world with the top companies. - Recommending me jobs instead of proactively searching for them.

What do you like best about Toptal?

The support and jobs available on the platform and team behind. The salaries are a quite big plus as well

TopTal have helped me land clients I would have never been able to get on my own, they're truly a matchmaker between clients and designers
