+1 for Toptal as I'm currently working using them.

It probably won't suit everyone and I don't see it as a long term full-time thing, but it can help a lot to: - start working remotely, and start making money - to try the remote/nomad lifestyle and/or the time you find something else - to make some money while working on a side project (or a startup, or whatever) - to make some additional money while have a full time job - on weekends, evenings, whatever

I've tried websites like upwork, freelancers and guru.com before and the big advantage with Toptal is the easy and short time it take to hop on new missions. rom my experience, there is - so far - no need to compete with other freelancers to start working, and you can hop on some new stuff within a week or so. At a very reasonable rate.

On the long term, I think joining a remote team and/or a community of freelancers/nomads is definitely a must to avoid isolation.

Good luck :)
