Clement shares his experience after becoming a Turing Developer

Clement, NigeriaFull Stack Developer

I have been working as a full-stack developer at Turing.com for more than a year now. While applying for Turing jobs a year back, I found the Turing test to be very challenging. But it was a good learning experience for me. Through the AI/ML-enabled tests, Turing reviews how good you’re with your skill. Working with Turing has been a very satisfying experience for me so far. I get to work for Silicon Valley companies and enjoy good pay as well. I am also part of an elite community of the world’s best developers.

Sateesh, IndiaSoftware Developer

I wanted to work with a US company and that's when I found Turing! The best part is the job flexibility. I don't need to follow the 9-5 routine. I also get to work with people from various cultures across the globe and grow with them.

Software Developer Quang share his experience working with Turing jobs

Quang, VietnamSoftware Engineer

Before joining Turing, I had 7 years of software engineering experience in web development and ML and Data Mining. Turing allowed me to explore my passion for creating long-term value for customers. They also helped me in applying new technologies to increase product quality. Thanks to Turing, I have a very healthy work-life balance now. I really hope my Turing review will be helpful for you in some way.

Baah, GhanaFull-stack Developer

I am a full-stack developer from Ghana. I honestly felt a dramatic change in my life when I joined Turing. My financial health is better than ever and I feel I have made more progress as a developer in the 1 year I spent at Turing than all the years before. As a Turing developer, you will get to work on world-class projects with the top tech leaders.

Ermal, KosovoSoftware Developer

Before joining Turing, I was working as a software developer for almost 6 years with extensive experience in game development. But it is only after I became a Turing developer, I began to manage my time better, stayed focused on my career goals, became more adaptable. I also learned how to work with different technologies and global teams. If I were to ask to review Turing.com, I would say it has been a rewarding journey for me so far.
