I believe the SaaS layoffs are in full effect and will continue throughout the year. Everyone is in recession protection mode. It's not only SaaS, but it's most companies with a sales team. Salespeople have the highest cost, and companies think you can always stretch them thinner.

I agree that sales should be a profit center, but it depends on the sales organization, the team's experience, and if the service is recession-proof.

If the service/offering can be frozen or stopped then companies/people utilizing it may do so to help hunker down for a recession.

The benefit of SaaS is typically the subscription-type service, which makes your topline more predictable. Tech is being hit hard, but I believe other sectors that sell one-off products /goods will terminate employees even faster with a less predictable topline.

It’s gonna be a rough year…

Should a DevOps Cloud Engineer with 2 years experience earning around 10 LPA (base salary) in a Fortune 200, switch to a startup which pays almost 20 LPA base salary?
The reason to ask this question is, wouldn't it be difficult at the time of second switch, to move to another big organisation after one is already at 20-24 LPA with just 3-4 years of experience at a startup?
All thoughts are welcome.

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Hello! What is the best way to structure a discovery call for SaaS sales? e.g. share a deck, only focus on their use case (current state, goals, pain, etc.), share a story, etc. Lastly, how do you go further than surface level, like if they mention they are having issues with xyz, which is usually a symptom of the problem and not the problem itself. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
