Key Trends Shaping SaaS Salaries in 2025 

AI Companies Driving Salary Growth

AI-driven SaaS firms are leading the charge in salary increases, leveraging massive funding rounds to attract top sales professionals. Cities like Munich, London, and Berlin are seeing a sharp rise in compensation, particularly for Enterprise Account Executives and Sales Leaders.

Moderate Growth in Traditional SaaS

More established B2B SaaS companies are prioritizing profitability over aggressive hiring, leading to slower salary growth. However, high-demand roles, especially those in revenue-generating positions, continue to see upward pressure on compensation.

The Rise of Global Hiring

With remote work now a standard, companies are expanding beyond local talent pools, recruiting top professionals from emerging markets to build diverse, high-performing sales teams.

Balancing Competitive Pay & Profitability

Not every company can match the aggressive salary offers of AI firms. Many mid-market SaaS businesses are offering a mix of equity incentives, career progression, and stability to remain competitive in the hiring market
