Interviewed at a company and then they were bought out. They are going through a merger now. I’m second guessing this opportunity because of the recent merger. I loved the hiring manager and know she would be a dream to work for. Thoughts on joining a company recently acquired? It’s a sales role.

I learned to focus on myself the hard way. At a previous job, I was promised a lot of opportunities career-wise by a program manager. After accepting the job, the program manager moved departments three months later, and all the promises evaporated. Since then, I just think about myself when making a decision.

Yea you really do have to be careful. I was in a similar situation many years ago. The thing that sucks is that when they are acquired often there will be lots of changes and things beyond your control.

Just know that there is a strong possibility they say well we only need our reps to sell xyz and they drop that sales team that’s being merged, or they reduce the size of the team and slowly bump them out… Acquiring company will always favor their employees over the companies they buy.

Joining a company recently acquired can be a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new venture. It can also be a bit risky, as the company may be in flux and the direction it is heading may not be clear.

I have a mixed opinion on this. I've experienced it myself so it really depends on the outcome of the merger.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

Inbound lead disparity is ridiculous between segments.

Meanwhile, the mid market SDR gets fed on average 3 or 4 a WEEK. The SMB SDR, who started maybe a month after me has booked - I shit you not - 30 inbound meetings in the last 30 days. This guy is set to make more in commission than most of the AEs at our company this quarter. How is this fair?
