Pros
- Large variety of highly skilled jobs - Very talented colleagues (from whom you can learn) - Tons of community events - Toptal helps you to grow as a professional (free Pluralsight account) - Lots of opportunities (apart of jobs): Write in the blog, screen developers, organize events... - Flexibility to work everywhere you like - You decide the salary you want to earn - You decide the vacations you want to have or the hours/week you want to work - I started loving software development again (on every company, you learn something new)
Cons
Most jobs are remote so, if you like to work in a more social environment, you'll probably miss the office colleagues. But Toptal promotes and pays for organizing social events, co-working days... so it kind of compensates it. Your hourly wage is in american dollars, so, if you are not from the USA, you need to pay a lot in currency conversion and bank fees (but that does not depend on Toptal). They could provide salary in other important currencies, such as EUR; this will be fantastic.
