I'm still not convinced that the best strategy isn't just to take the acquisition money and bail. Any sort of large corporate acquisition is going to lead directly into a few years of spending an outsized amount of time just converting code, tools, security rules, and processes into the parent company's preferences.

Usually you don't get the acquisition money right away, you get it over a few years. They know you would just bolt if they gave it up front.

Fair, but often there's a retention package that can be a large part of the acquisition offer total that could be hard to resist.
