You got it!

So Buildium makes money off of normal subscription payments like any SaaS business does by charging a monthly fee to property management companies for access to their software. They also make money by taking a small percentage of rent payments that are processed online via the platform. These are rent payments that tenants pay to their property management company, not Buildium itself. Said another way, the tenant has no obligation to pay Buildium whatsoever—but with rent payment being regular and recurring, Buildium captured predictable revenue by capturing these payment processing fees.

Great points—I 100% agree. While at Buildium I actually built our three marketing teams—acquisition marketing, product marketing, and corporate marketing to support many of the different functions you mentioned.

What do you mean by "software SaaS's?" Software products sold to other software companies?

Disagree. Not everyone is a SaaS company needs to have technical skills. Would you expect everyone to have sales skills? Or marketing skills?

Thank you! Happy to hear you liked it.

It's definitely tough when you feel like you're receiving assessments that don't really correlate with the work you'll be doing on the job. The more companies can use language specific testing frameworks and assessments based on unit tests, the more the assessments will mimic the actual programming they'll be doing on the job. Better yet, customer assessments can be built that actually reflect real problems or challenges companies have within their own code base.
