Authored by Jim Moore It’s no secret that the market for software engineers, engineering managers, and product managers is crazy right now. We’re all getting bombarded by multiple inbound recruiter messages every week. So why do I continue to stay at SailPoint? That’s a pretty easy question to answer: I’ve been building SaaS products since before the term “SaaS” existed (w...

I’ve been thinking a good deal lately about Leila Janah’s quote: “talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not.” At SAIL, I’ve always been inspired by our organization-wide passion for people.

I’ve used the term y’all my entire life. “Y’all” is the conjunction of “you all” and is an expression that is core to my identity as a sixth-generation Texan. I love the simple and assumptively inclusive nature of the word – it’s perfect in nearly every use.
