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.

If you would consider yourself a Senior level, which you probably should, given you built an acquired product, you can look up the paybands online. 250-500, to throw out a range.
Thanks. i was architect/manager before i started the company, so yeah i am looking for senior level position.

Depends on the interview, they won't just give you one. If they decide to keep you, they will interview you and keep those that perform well. You can be a manager, if they are going to build out the software, you can be a VP for that product if you demonstrate competency. Best of luck.
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.

find people in the company who have the same level of experience as you and find out how much they are getting paid
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.

Frankly, I think you should expect zero beyond what they’re paying to buy the company.
This way you will be pleasantly surprised by anything they do offer. And you won’t be too unpleasantly surprised if they don’t offer anything at all, and you just get shown the door.
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.

Here[^1] is a video of Instagram's Kevin Systrom explaining the transition after Facebook acquired Instagram. The whole interview is good, and the segment would better be taken in context. All the best.
Thanks thats helpful.

Last private raise
- https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/31/giphy-the-platform-for-all...
- $600MM
- $150MM raised
- $400MM sale price
- $400MM - $150MM 1x preferred = $250MM (assuming not ratchet up for selling below last preferred price)
- $250MM net to shareholders.
- 50% for preferred investor share holders
- 25% to founders
- 25% to individual contributors
- 25% of $250MM = $62.5MM
These are all just estimates
Any idea what level/compensation FB is offering to Giphy engineers?
