The tech industry is one of the hardest hit when it comes to mental health—77% of us have faced burnout, and 89% feel constant pressure at work. Take a few simple steps today to clear your head & boost your mental mood:   📲 Schedule your calls into a block and take them while walking. Fresh air + more steps = win win. 👋 Take a moment to check in with your colleagues, whether it’s a quick chat in person or virtually. Social connections go a long way in lifting your mood and making you feel less isolated at work.  ⏰ Aim to finish work at a set time, or create a “shutdown” ritual—close the laptop, tidy up, and move to a different space. It can be tough to set boundaries, but even small routines can help you switch off.   And don't forget a mini digital detox can do wonders. Step away from your screen a few times throughout the day, even just for a couple of minutes. Your mind will thank you!   #worldmentalhealthday

This week, we're excited to celebrate Jack Rogers' work anniversary with us at Burns Sheehan! 🎉 Since joining us, Jack has been an asset to our team and we're incredibly proud of everything you've achieved so far. Here’s to many more! 💪👏 #workiversary #techrecruitment

☁️ 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞: 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 & 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 Congrats Tom Dunford & Jack Rogers on another great breakfast roundtable for Leaders in the Cloud & Engineering space 👏 The conversation focused on navigating the cloud in 2024, particularly a topic that continues to come up a lot —managing teams in asynchronous and hybrid environments. While flexible working is great for attracting and widening your talent pool, it does make it harder for managers to spot early signs of burnout. We spent a lot of time discussing how to keep teams connected and engaged remotely. 121s are key - make sure you're creating space to listen and have real conversations, not just feedback sessions. Also organising ‘face time’ around what things that people genuinely enjoy will help with team buy-in, like cricket afternoons, wine and cheese evenings, or online gaming sessions. It’s a conversation we’ve been having for the last 5 years, especially as companies are still figuring out what works best. Take Amazon’s recent shift back to four days in the office and the backlash —it’s clear there’s no perfect solution for building a strong team culture and sense of synergy in remote or hybrid settings. It was really insightful to hear how different teams across various industries and stages, are tackling these challenges. Massive thank you to Greg S. for moderating the session, and also a big thanks to Ernest Claassens, Lisa Pritchard-Mulcahy Kimani M., Abdul Wahid, Dionisio P., James Cook, Ayman Elwany, George Anagnostopoulos, Liron Eliyahu, Kunle Okunola & Craig Bilner for taking part in such a productive session!

𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 & 𝐜𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬 It’s no surprise salaries vary significantly based on various factors. While we report our salary brackets by funding rounds (a primary differentiator) it's essential to consider the following for an accurate benchmark: 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: ⭐️ Level of funding achieved by the business ⭐️ Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) ⭐️ Profitability ⭐️ Total compensation package (including LTIPs, allowances, bonuses, shares) ⭐️ Size and maturity of the tech team ⭐️ Reporting structure and depth of management ⭐️ Specific candidate requirements (e.g., building new tech hubs, leading funding rounds, entering new markets) It's also key to look at the funding. How do we do this? 𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐝/𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐝: Smaller organisational remit, fewer senior leaders reporting into. Potential involvement in navigating funding rounds. 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐀/𝐁: Organisational remit for 60-80+ headcount across Technology. Inclusion in the board, dealing with investor stakeholders. 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐂+: Strong ARR with an organisational remit for 100+ headcount across Technology & Data. Established, multi-level management reporting structures.
