I joined Toptal in 2021 and worked through Toptal with many clients throughout the World, it has been a wonderful experience so far.
I requested my e-commerce shopify site be migrated to WooCommerce. I was of the opinion that this would be a $500 - to $700 job. That wk 3 weeks of billing ago with no end in site. Currently I owe $16,300 after the $500 deposit I prepaid.

I hired a developer for an 8 week project. I paid weekly and total was $24,259.
The communication from Curcio J Sobrinho, my developer from Brazil, was very light (over skype) each week. I'd often check in and ask if he had any questions or needed anything. Always it was "nope, doing good." I started to wonder if he was doing anything and/or really understood the project.
At the end of our agreed-upon time, 8 weeks, he asked for "one additional week, no charge", which I gave. A week later this happened again, then again, then again...
8 weeks after the 8 week deadline, not wanting to irritate him by asking "are you even doing anything?", I emailed Toptal and asked what one should do in a situation like this.
Their response was to open an investigation, which ticked off the developer, who sloppily "finished the project" in 24 hours, sent me.apk files, and said "since you involved Toptal, this ends my work and our communication".
Upon testing the.apk files, they don't work. Opening the repository in Android Studio results in numerous errors.
Omar Landaverry at Toptal, over several emails, said basically I was on my own. He stated they "allowed" Curcio to finish the project (the hurried 24 hour delivery) and implied I was lucky Toptal didn't decide to charge me for the additional 8 weeks.
I now have a bunch of modified code to turn over to a new dev at a different agency to see if they want to work with it or start from scratch.
Toptal Director of Engineering Ariel Roitman, and my Account Manager Mitch Penrod were quite pleasant and did a good job kicking things off for me. But all downhill after that.
I hired react developer with $120 hour the job he did is the same t find freelancer in other platform with $40 hour so this is too expansive.
Tip for consumers:
not use it )

After spending months and almost $100k on consulting services, a bug was found in a project. Because the project had been closed, no help was offered, just was asked to hire another resource.
This firm is unprofessional, unresponsive, and doesn't care about standing behind their consultants' work.
Stay far away!
