Ask HN: Does TopTal Work as a Freelancer?
I’m in the process of interviewing with TopTal and have passed the initial test however I’m getting some red flags with their process. The largest being they have a take home assignment which should take between 24 and 48 hours to complete! Oh and they don’t pay you your hourly rate to complete it either.<p>The only person I’ve been able to talk to was unable to tell me if my expected rate of USD$300&#x2F;hr is realistic, all they said is you set your own rate.<p>So Ask HN, do you have experience freelancing with TopTal? What’s your hourly rate?<p>Edit: I’m Devops&#x2F;SRE, but interested to hear from everyone
