Failing the Toptal screening the first time is more common than most people admit publicly, and it does not necessarily mean you are not good enough for the platform. Toptal does allow people to reapply after a waiting period, which is usually around six months or so. Many people who eventually got in say they used that time to fill skill gaps and practice the kinds of problems that came up in their first attempt. If you have been rejected before, what did you do differently before trying again?
