Re: Has anyone made the switch from on-site to vendor side?

I specifically want to know if anyone has switched over to Yardi and how do you like it? I’m considering making the switch, but want to hear the pros and cons. Thank you!

Love seeing everyone's positive experiences!

I went to Entrata and couldn’t be happier! The work/life balance will take you some getting used to because you will actually have one! 🫶 (I honestly do not have a single con.)

The CSM role is a perfect role to transition into from the Property Management side. I hope that helps when you’re searching. A good search phrase is “PropTech CSM”.

I went to ResMan and I love it

I have many friends at Yardi and they love it!

If you’re a current Yardi user they can’t hire you.

Why do you say that? I don’t remember this being a thing last time I inquired to Yardi about a position. Has this changed recently?

Anonymous member yes. I was told that two weeks ago.

Alicia Holmes they cant recruit you. You can absolutely go to work for them if it's you initiating with them. They do have to inform the client before hire.

Jaymz Yates that wasn’t my understanding. My former Yardi rep stated it just the way I repeated. Always worth trying

Alicia Holmes they cant hire you without permission. True

Hello there! I made the switch from a corporate support (Training) role to the supplier partner side. I have to say that working on the supplier partner side gave me a lot more balance...and working from home was wonderful. However, I was also let go from supplier partner roles for not making quota (during covid) and when budgets and board members shifted priorities.

I have since gone BACK to the Corporate Support side of an Owner/Operator because I feel it is a much more secure spot to be in. When the economy gets wonky and owner/operators STOP investing in new technology or whatever else a supplier is selling...they may have to adjust their rent strategy, but they know that people still need a place to live...and consumers the same way...they may stop buying cars, houses, and taking vacations...but they still need a roof over their heads!

Feels a little more "recession proof" on the owner/operator side to me.
