Before we were acquired I managed to get an offer from another company to leave at one point.
I knew the founders well, and they knew I was critical to success, so they made me quite the offer to stay. For where I'm at, my salary is far above CoL, so I don't have an incentive to leave yet. That and I got some shares that will vest when the company sells this year.
But if I hadn't gotten that bump before acquisition, I'd likely be gone. It's impossible to get a raise now. On the plus side, I now work like it's impossible to get a raise, if you catch my drift.
Once it sells, I'll move on to something I love again. Planning to do consulting with some friends who started a co-op.
