Just got offered a PM role. I currently work at a no-name startup as PM. Current TC: 130K New TC: 135K I have heard that the culture is terrible and that they are going to be acquired by MSFT. However, I want a big name on my resume. Worth taking the offer? #blizzard #blizzardentertainment #activisionblizzard
Why take all this risk for <5% and a “big name”? Rather stay and try to find something better…
Also note that Activision is already huge so those culture problems may not effect the role you're filling
Negotiate a higher salary. No one reasonable expects anyone to move in this market for $5k.
I worked there and would advise stay away
Nothing to do with msft- just don’t take it because it’s actv. Trust me. Husband’s team just got a 3% raise across the board for the 4th year in a row and they are all bailing. His current position is paid 1/3 of market he just found out. Bonus was paid in stock this year because of acquisition- people are jumping ship. It’s a shit show.
Mind me asking your YoE? And are u coming from games?
hope you stayed away
Did you accept the offer?
do you like games? it’s not for everyone
