I’m in the process of interviewing for a company as a Finance Manager. While researching I found articles from Oct 2020 suggesting that the parent company is looking to sell. New rumors last week suggest it’s going to be sold to a direct competitor since the competitor is moving HQ to my city. Is it a bad idea to join the company over these rumors? Can I ask about rumors in the final interview round?

Ask for a lot of equity. Tell them to put that they vest immediately after being sold. You will be gold.

^ pretty much this - might as well bank off of equity. But if they are really that far along the process I really doubt they would offer that much.

It's a bad idea if they can't tell you what your role would be upon M&A

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
