As the title suggests, my company has been acquired by our lead rival company, which will effectively give them a huge control over the market. I don't want to give away any identifying aspects of the companies or their industry right now, as the merger/acquisition hasn't gone public yet. (Next Tuesday is the public announcement)
However, this leads to me to evaluating next steps. I'm a new hire, been with my current company for about 9-10 months now, and I fear my head may be up on the block.
What should I be doing right now? I'm already looking to update LinkedIn and my resume in general, and start putting feeler applications out. I'm working on getting all my certification files together, as well as reaching out to any personal contacts I've got in any of the various industries adjacent to my own…
What am I missing?
Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.
