It's hard to say if it's a good offer without knowing how well you're currently being paid compared to market for the salary, and what you would bring to the company. That said, 5% for a senior executive is pretty…
Those companies decided to build their own solutions rather than use others not due to distrust, but because they saw a business opportunity. They all use 3rd party products somewhere in the organization, but if they…
