My company of being acquired by another company. It’s a merger of the equals. What should I do ? Should I start looking for roles?

Yes. Make sure you do everything in your power to show and prove you are excellent in your current position, but could easily do another job.

It doesn't hurt to look. Until you get a clear understanding on what the merger means to your role, I wouldn't accept any offers just yet.

Absolutely brush up your resume and start looking. Do not wait for someone else to decide on your career. I went thru a recent acquisition where the new VP was extremely insecure and quickly identified me as a threat. I trusted my intuition and started looking. Sure enough, things went downhill while waiting for the sale to close. Now, my experience was extreme but you never know. Sometimes decisions are made that defy all logic. Revisit your employment agreement on severance. Whether you get an offer or termination, you can negotiate. With the latter, an employment lawyer can help navigate your rights and even a failure to hire case.

Over the last few months my job work load has increased to helping more teams and I have been brought on to be a major voice on a product transition (I am one of three non managers helping make the decision and have more responsibility on the project then half the managers. The company is global (30+ teams)) and I can see that it will increase over the next months. The company I work for is known for not promoting internally easy. Anyone have any advice on how to make the transition easier?
