Ask HN: What's your opinion on Toptal?

2 pointsdrinchev3 comments

Hello,

I'm in an interview process with Toptal and I wanted to know if things changed since two years ago [1].

So basically :

1. Does anyone makes good money with the website ?

2. Is the technical interview worth it?

It's hard for me to tell. I've expressed interest in working in them in the past, and I have past remote work experience with good collaboration skills online, but they never moved forward for an interview with me :-/

I had an awful experience and ended up them having to refund me the fee required to start the job search. My company needed someone with WebRTC expertise and they had no one that knew anything about that technology which is strange seen as it's quite a big deal right now with apple having added into the latest release of Safari etc.

Lots of yeses but really they should of said no no no

I was just finishing my application there as a freelance WebRTC developer, and you might have missed me by a day or so. If you are still looking for someone with WebRTC knowledge, my profile has my contact info, including a project I implemented in WebRTC.
