Just got a product manager offer at Activision Blizzard. I am worried the MSFT acquisition might not go through, which could result in layoffs. I really like the gaming space and see a great future for the industry Current TC: 165K Offer TC: 210K Should I accept? #tech #pm
I wouldn’t. Not wit this market.
Even if the acquisition did go through there will still be layoffs. There’s usually overlapping roles during merges like this and I feel like the first people to go are those in management and HR. It’s up to you on accepting it but right now it seems a little too risky to me.
Can you share the TC breakdown in your offer? Considering the same
I didn’t get the position. You better take it, enjoy the time there and worry about if layoffs will happen when they happen. Have fun, and make a big impact.
What do you mean you didn’t get the position?
Sorry rushed when I wrote this. I applied for a product management position as well but didn’t get an offer. Which is why I say go for it!
Stop trying to predict the future. Take the money and you’ll figure things out if anything changes.
