- kasey_junk 4y agoWhich is why you typically quote that value instead of revenue per employee which without context could be great or terrible.
- robertlagrant 4y agoQuote what value?
- kasey_junk 4y agoRevenue multiple per employee.
- robertlagrant 4y agoWouldn't that have the same problem? You'd need to break either down by cost of living area to solve it.
- kasey_junk 4y agoNo because the revenue per employee multiple has the employee costs scaled on both sides of the ratio.
- robertlagrant 4y agoHow so? Revenue isn't scaled, unless you do the thing I said.
- bluedino 4y agoAccording to Google the average Salesforce employee makes $115,000/year, so double that and it's $230,000. By those numbers labor would be almost 50% of their revenue.
- tomnipotent 4y agoAccording to their most recent quarterly report, they had ~$16B in operating expenses on $23B in revenue through Q322. I would imagine a vast majority of opex is headcount.
