I've been sitting at both sides of the table via TopTal. First I went through their interview process, which I didn't like and the experience afterwards wasn't great. More recently I helped to hire people via Toptal to work on a project I consulted for, and that was good. Really great developers, and what I can see they have a lot of flexibility. However, have you considered remote work instead? There is more companies open to that setting and you can also have a good time flexibility. I work for game studio in Dublin - we offer fully remote setup, "unlimited" holidays and flexible working hours. Your skillset matches exactly what we need. But even if you aren't interested in making games for a living (python & java fullstack development) there is tons companies like us. I know because we have to compete with them for the best talent. |

Thanks for sharing your Toptal experience. I was looking at Toptal as well. I don't feel that I am bringing value to the marketplace of Toptal, maybe I am wrong. As a Software Developer I am very focused on software quality, good coding practices, maintainability; basically I always try create the best and most maintainable solution, over the fastest hacked mess but done (I know it's black and white and reality is not always that easy). I don't see many businesses looking for that.
Yes I am considering remote work, I see a only few interesting job positions for remote work.
Sorry, but if it is not asked too much, can you name a few portals (or the main one) on which you compete with "tons of other companies", I am looking on https://remoteok.io/ .
If you like you can link your company website, I like to have a look.
