The DSP story is dead. - Account Executive Confluent Employee Review

If you have to prospect, heavens help you. This product and space are too complex to sell into. The DSP (Digital Streaming Platform) story that leadership tells is not resonating with the market. No one cares about Flink. No one wants to use Confluent's version of tableflow. No one can articulate why Confluent should be ones taking these workloads instead of Databricks other than "we're faster." But we aren't cheaper and definitely not easier to use.
