I left public accounting 6 months ago for a Senior Accountant role, and my company was just acquired. The deal is supposed to finalize shortly and I’m wondering how I should proceed. I haven’t heard anything regarding the acquiring company’s plans for our workforce, location, etc so I’m not sure whether I’ll be retained. Do I reach out to recruiters and start job hunting now, or wait and see how things play out? I don’t know how much notice I’ll get and I’d prefer to avoid an employment gap.

I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?
