As I mentioned in the previous episode, the runner-up in my Linkedin poll was the differences between working from home and working remotely. And that's what I'm going to cover in today's episode.

Talk soon. Bye.
Welcome back to the Design Remotely podcast. My name is Daniel de Paola and I am a full-time freelance designer. For this second episode of Design Remotely, I’ve posted a poll on Linkedin and Twitter about today’s topic: how to work with Toptal or the difference between working from home vs working remotely.
The winner was the work with Toptal. So in this episode, I’ll give you an idea of what is Toptal. Everything about getting into the platform, how long it took me to get my first engagement, the ways within Toptal, my relationship with the matches, and all.
So working from home versus working remotely keeps for the next one.
If you want to apply to Toptal, here’s my referral link and when you’re approved and land your first project within six months, we both can get a bonus of up to $2,500.
Toptal was not a sponsor of this episode.
In this very first episode, I'm gonna talk about:
- Who am I?
- Where and how do I get my freelance projects
- Why I decided to go full-time as a freelance
- Some family background and family decisions
- My goals as a full-time freelance
I hope you can stick around for the next episodes too, so let's do it.
