I joined a company I fell in love with. The team was amazing, the direction was amazing, etc.

Then we were acquired. All the visions and plans that we had made for where our company was going to go fell apart. The new company was in charge.

It still hurts, at times. I no longer work for the previous company.

You will soon work for Microsoft. I would recommend beginning to act like it: see if Microsoft is the kind of company that you want to work for and find teams within Microsoft that you would like to work with, if you want to work for Microsoft. If not, well, there are other companies.

Take care of yourself, first.
