I've worked with A Team (www.a.team) for about a year now and I've had an amazing experience with them so far. Really interesting projects, good pay and their team is very supportive with getting you up and running. Can't recommend enough

It's the best contract site I'm aware of. Last year I had a long-term gig for $150/hour and this year had an offer for $200/hour.

Is that as a 1099 or w2?

1099. Payouts happen globally. Once you reach your first 400 hours building with A.Team, you unlock guaranteed, bi-weekly payments without the need to wait for the payment from the company you work with.

I joined a few months back and got matched with a pretty stellar contract shortly after coming onboard. There's a pretty wide variety of work on the platform so you can be as picky as you like (want to work on crypto? or desktop apps? etc).

Jobs seem to be mainly split between full-stack, front-end, and mobile but there's quite a few openings for soft skills like PM work.

It says invite-only. Do they invite randoms or do I need to find someone already on there?

Generally they are pretty quick to send invites when asked.

Their selection criteria seems to be whack. I literally built and sold a startup but they had the nerve to reject me :D

I'm sorry to hear that. May I ask if there was any leet code as part of the interview?

I am subscribed to their site, but it's been mostly frontend engineering offers since I signed up in July.

I got my last (entirely back-end) role with them after I spoke to one of their recruiters on Zoom, and she ended up matching me with a role. Might be worth trying to pursue?
