I really doubt that 80,000 mobile iOS/android apps are in playstore which are written in flutter/DART. DART is no way better than javascript/java/typescript/swift. i may try/adapt flutter if its provides alternate languages like typescript.
There is both opportunity and threat hidden here.

Threat - if the program/project genuinely requires that the manager needs to on emails regularly and if you don't give what it takes to a manager of those programs/projects, they might replace you with someone who does.

Opportunity - if you check your emails in vacation and take proper action, then you will gain trust from management and they don't even bother whether you are in office or in vacation. they might even give more responsibilities.

Because business never goes on vacation, you cannot tell customers that key person is in vacation. You can find someone to act as a manager when you are on vacation. But that person might replace you, if you are not very careful.

Thanks. i was architect/manager before i started the company, so yeah i am looking for senior level position.
Thanks. They specifically want to keep us to integrate our tech - but with huge modifications - almost like building from scratch. The deal is more of acqu-hire than acquire the product & users.
1. It turned out to be quite difficult to approach people without revealing confidential information.

2. No. years of experience does not seems to correlates with level/compensation.

agree most of what you said.

Our lawyer said, it's good that you have a fair exit. Many companies he consulted didn't go anywhere. EXCEPT we were not really looking for an exit and quite enjoying the journey how ever little money we are making. I never worked for FANG or anywhere closer so totally clueless.

Thanks thats helpful.

Ask HN: We are being acquired by FANG; What title/level/compensation to expect?

We are a small team built a product which is ramen profitable. We are midway to acqu-hire by FANG. I am the founder, CEO and built the initial working version and earned first 1000 users. There is one another engineer and one marketing person. I have 9+ years industry experience. So my question is what level & compensation I should be asking?
