Toptal<\/a> is one of the great companies that I have my eyes on.\u00a0 If you haven’t heard of them, here’s a brief intro:<\/p>\n

Toptal is an exclusive network of the top freelance software developers, esigners, finance experts, product managers, and project managers in the world. Top companies hire Toptal freelancers for their most important projects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve had some interactions with the company in the past, and I’ve heard plenty of stories from other people.\u00a0 These guys definitely know what they are doing.<\/p>\n

And if you don’t believe me, here’s some proof for you.\u00a0 The COVID-19 pandemic forced a lot of companies, teams, and people to work remotely.\u00a0 Some were ready for this, but most had to make major adjustment.\u00a0 Many are still struggling.\u00a0 Toptal though is not one of them.\u00a0 They’ve been doing remote work for a long time now.\u00a0 Lucky for the rest of us, they’ve shared a lot of that in a rather concise, to the point, easy to read document, titled “The Suddenly Remote Playbook<\/a>“. It is a playbook for sustaining an enterprise-grade remote work environment, from the world’s largest fully remote company.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter whether you are just starting with the remote work, or have been doing it for a long time, I promise you, you’ll find plenty of useful information in there.<\/p>\n
