Freelancing with toptal

One of the best Freelancing Zone TOPTAL

Have you ever worked as a freelancer? Recently I came across with a unique freelancing site. Let’s see how it is different from other freelancing sites.

• Here we need not chase for clients: You need not worry about bid and all stuff, go through the interview process and join the community.
• Comparatively you can opt for high billing rates (Long Term, Short Term and Hourly)
• You still can work with the best clients: AXEL SPRINGER, J.P.MORGAN, KDDI America and a lot more

It says “Hire Top 3% Freelance Developers” as they follow a typical process to allow a developer into the community. Process to Join TopTal:

• Language & Personality: HR will check your communication and English speaking skills
• Timed Algorithm Test: Online test
• Technical Screening: By sharing your screen with their senior engineers
• Building a Test Application: You need to do this and should present the project.

Please have a look at here to know more about the hiring process

This test pattern might get changed based on your background and technical skills but somehow this is a 4 step process. However once you clear the interview process, you can be a part of the community. People who experienced in scripting languages and programming languages can have a try.

Freelancing can add some extra dollars to your income but it’s tiny when it compares to the knowledge that you get by working and handling a project / task independently.

By the way the “toptal engineering team” has published few SQL Server interview questions. Have a look at here for those questions and answers.
