Job switch, acquired startup.

I'm a product manager in a company which got acquired some 1.4 yrs back. Our founder's clause to be with the company ends this November.

We both were very similar products and slowly the acquirers have started merging things to one.

Startup are brutal

  1. Fancy talks from founders such as ownership, independence, building for next generation, speed etc
  2. Learn new tech
  3. Glofiying working at odd hours
