Pretty straight forward with initial call with the recruiter. Didn’t end up moving forward due to compensation. However, the recruiter was understanding and didn’t try to over sell. Overall decent experience
It's not that difficult for passing the whole interview process. If you are ready for your skills mention in your resume, no problem. It can be said that it's interview level is middle.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Toptal in Oct 2023
Interview
Friendly, informative. The interviewer was very polite and thorough and set proper expectations for the role, culture, and process. The questions were straight forward. They actually reached out to me, but then didn't consider me a good fit. Perhaps some better research on their part, but no complaints.
