The interview experience is terrible. I completed a much more ambitious project than I needed to, demonstrating the ability to pick up a complex new framework quickly (React Native). I also implemented a very thorough auth system demonstrating mastery of secure programming (proper salting, message signing, defense against timing attacks.) That didn't matter one bit, I got denied for omitting a requirement which wasn'…
I couldn't agree more that their interviewing is terrible.

Can anyone confirm, that any of these sites have found them remote jobs? I would love to know as I am interested in joining, but I don't actually think its worth it?

#34In all honesty, I work part time on remote jobs. I have a lot of debt I need to pay off, family medical.
I have for the 2 years, applied to 100+ jobs a week. When I don't have work or when I find my current work teetering off, I sit down every Monday, go to 40+ job sites I have collected over time and just apply to as many as possible within the 2 hours or so.
Its hit or miss, but I tend to find something within the month, someone looking for part time remote work.
I am always looking, but since its part time, I get filtered out a lot due to employers wanting full time folks.
Just Hustle. Keep Hustling. Don't stop hustling. It helps me.

Were you interviewing for one of the Core developer teams (the ones actually building Toptal), or for Toptal to work as a freelance developer (to work on Client projects)?
Toptal has a lot of open (internal) positions and their interview process is different than when applying to work on Toptal as a freelancer. Everyone on the Core development team is remote.

This is interesting. Do you apply for part-time jobs specifically?

#38An old colleague of mine, who'd worked for an LA-based tech company for 10 years, went to hand in his resignation. He was moving to Charlotte so he could be with his girlfriend. His boss begged him to stay -- he could even work remotely. My friend took the deal. He lives in Charlotte now and flies to LA every 2 or 3 months. The best place to look for remote jobs is to talk to people who have worked with you in the pa…
I broadly agree with this, and nice to hear from people who've made it work. But how feasible is it to do this today when so much of the current crop of advice seems to be teams-over-individuals, nobody-is-indispensible messages telling managers to avoid letting programmers gain this kind of leverage at almost any cost?
Don't work for companies like that. I have a few "red flags" which I look for when I interview for companies to avoid this type of mindset and if I see enough red flags I reject the company.
Those places are usually career dead ends anyway, even if you're not bothered about working remotely.
Unfortunately, there are many places which only have employers like that which means you either move or you deal with it.

Yes, this is a difficult issue. At GitLab we have people in more than 30 countries. In the majority of countries we have contractors, in some (US/NL/UK) we have a company, in some we hire through a reseller (India/China), and in Belgium we can hire on the Dutch payroll due to the EU. I hope someone starts the Stripe/Adyen for payrolling people. If you plan to do so please email me so I can help with advise and be you…

How does it work exactly?

Can you elaborate on what you're looking for at the interview stage to determine a company has this mindset? I've seen it after a few weeks at an org but figuring that out earlier would be helpful.
