Anyone worried about how the potential tech bubble burst will impact Tech Sales? In the past year or so we've seen a huge candidates' advantage in the job market. Do you think it'll flip soon? Any thoughts on if it's a good time to change jobs?

I think it’s important to take a look at your leadership to determine that. Do they seem insecure about the competitors? Are they giving themselves unusually high pay increases to senior leadership without business justification? Are they over flooding the territory with under-qualified AEs? Are they refusing the modify marketing budget according to current conditions? If anyone of the answer is yes, I would worry a bit and look for a backup plan.

This concern has been on my mind for some time as well. I also however worry I don't know where to look up info for materials like this, think I'd understand this better during a physical explanation.

I think this is a looming concern for most people in most industries right now, given the pending recession. I'm sure there will be cutbacks no matter what, it's just a matter of how much and where. Not sure there's a way to know for sure, but personally, I'm keeping my options open and hoping for the best.

I don’t think the tech bubble will burst anytime soon. However, in this economy never choose a risky job over a stable one.

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number.
