I see a laugh react to this but you're 100% right

Probably not really, the partnership is already in progress of bring baked for the last 5 years

The acquisition isn't complete but there's been an agreement to it. Transaction is due around end of March. However, as someone else has already said, Jacobs has owned 65% of PA since 2021, and we do a lot of work together, so this isn't as drastic a change as it could be.

The plan is to maintain separate brands - although we obviously have a lot of sector overlap and some capability overlap, both companies have quite distinct offerings. The pay and benefits structures are being kept as-is for pretty much everyone except Partners as far as I can tell (this is pretty galling from a Jacobs side as someone whose role has a huge amount of overlap with the PA equivalent, but for half the cash). So, if you're planning to enter PA at, say, MC or below, it won't make any difference to you. If what you're after is Partner track, you might want to wait and see how it unfolds.

Hey fellow designers,

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

I have had a couple of interviews with good startup product companies where the main issue is my 90 days of notice period. Most startups simply run away at the mention of 90 days NP.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?
