I work on Toptal for about 6 years.
I've never had any problems with clients: they always had interesting projects, reasonable estimates and expectations from my work.
And Toptal community is a good place to get literally any help.

Very professional
September 16, 2022

It is soo professional and easy to work with Toptal. It is much easier when there are no long technical interviews or hourly rate negotiation. The projects are mostly well defined and they are not some school projects to work on. They are real companies and startups.

Best professionals you can find
September 14, 2022

Leveraging the Toptal network, we managed to build a team of top professionals in less than a week and then deliver a complicated project in perfect timing. This helped us unlock budgets and set the premise for an even bigger leap forward in the Product.

Amazing freelancing experience
September 13, 2022

Toptal has given me opportunity to work on very interesting and challenging machine learning projects, which led me explore latest research and development in the field. Toptal is also helping me to grow by providing amazing out-of-work opportunities like funding and resources for getting relevant cloud development certification, informative workshops, guidance in writing blogs and much more. Working at Toptal allows me to find time to work on my hobbies, personal projects, family and traveling. Its a complete package which also gives competitive compensation.

I requested my e-commerce shopify site be migrated to WooCommerce. I was of the opinion that this would be a $500 - to $700 job. That wk 3 weeks of billing ago with no end in site. Currently I owe $16,300 after the $500 deposit I prepaid.

Freelancing Made Easy
August 31, 2022

It took me about a month to complete all the steps for getting into Toptal but once that was done the process of getting a Job on the platform was quite simple. It took me less than a month to secure my first job after completing my toptal profile and after that its been smooth sailing. It's quite easy to schedule off time and handling payments has been a breeze.

Freelancing made easy
August 24, 2022

Jobs are there from all over the world. No need to find client or job. You just apply to job that fits you. Toptal matchers try to make the best matching as fast as possible.
Toptal handles payments and ensures it to be on time.
Support on any request is awesome.
Worked with many Toptalers in different projects, quality is really high.

I was a freelance 1,5 years before starting with Toptal and it wasn't really good. I wanted to be able to choose who to help and where to work. I wanted to live my life on my terms, being truly to myself.

But the projects I had were a lot of work and not enough money. Also, living in a place, with a language I still don't control, it didn't make my idea of living easy. I was actually looking for a new job.

Toptal has given me that door. It has given me the possibility to help companies (I have worked with 2 so far) that are aligned to my values; to work with a client that knows how important your work and your time is, no matter where you are or where you come from. Without all nightmares related to the payments.

So thanks to Toptal to give the opportunity.

I love that Toptal allowed me to find Clients all over the world. Being in Japan, I tend to be quite isolated, and Toptal helped me to extend my reach to the other APAC countries, as well as the USA and Europe. It's great to have access to a great range of serious clients from various industries, working on projects of every scale, and of course, being able to meet people from other cultures all the time. It's very enriching for a freelancer!

No word of a lie or exaggeration, I owe Toptal credit for my career's success. Prior to joining I was working a typical corporate 9-5 life, commuting over 10 hours a week and not growing. After joining the network, I quit my job and haven't looked back since. 6 years, 29 unique international clients, 30+ countries of travel, and not one missed payment later, my life has been transformed for the better. Toptal allows you to be the author of your own story. If you're skilled enough, I would hesitation recommend joining the network!

Making freelancing great again
July 27, 2022

Joining Toptal definitely was a changing point in my career as a software developer. Freelancing had always caught an eye on me, but felt there were too many risks. What if I don't get paid? What if I can't get any jobs? And if I dislike my current job? Well, Toptal's got you covered an all those. Its wonderful staff is always there to listen to you and try to solve any issues you may have. Jobs are all around the place with many challenging and interesting projects for small and big companies all around the world. Definitely, a freelancer's dream.

Reliable and lots of leads
July 19, 2022

Working for Toptal has been great for me. I've had the opportunity to work completely remotely for the past few years, completing projects for stealth startups and big brands. The great thing about Toptal's pre-vetting is that all clients understand that I'm an expert at iOS and Swift development, and when a client completely trusts you, the work gets far more interesting.

At Toptal, the community of fellow developers is one of my most valuable resources for peer reviews and discussion. I'm able to focus on my deepest area of expertise, because I know I can count on Toptal designers, project managers, and other professionals to provide me with the best possible support in other areas of my projects. I also enjoy the simplicity and security of being paired with great clients, without having to run my own small business.

Usually working remotely doesn't compare to working in person... you don't have a coffee break with friends, you don't have a colleague to comment on yesterday's soccer game, you don't get to arrange a barbecue with co-workers - after all, they are spread all over the world. And you also don't have someone looking after your career or watching over your work, which will hopelessly lead you down a bad path.

In other words, YOU-ARE-ALONE.

But there is Toptal - a completely different place.

We have communities - from those who like pets to space rockets, finance, and beaches - with lots of chatting.

We have coaching - an exceptional team dedicated to making you better than you already are.

We have academies - the chance for you to increase your knowledge.

We have volunteering - a way to improve our world.

And, of course, we have the personal events: the barbecue (or pizza!) with buddies in your area.

Of course, it's not the same as in-person work... IT'S MUCH BETTER!
