Going to go pedantic on you, but I believe you mean 'affect' and not 'effect'. I used to always have a have time with this until my doctoral supervisor told me to remember the mnemonic RAVEN: Remember Affect Verb Effect Noun. So 'to affect' is the verb and 'an effect' is the noun.
Of course, English being what it is there's an exception or two! Effect can be a verb when used in the form 'to effect a change'. And affect is from time to time a noun when used by psychologists.
Given that I had made my decision the timing was going to be harsh whenever it was.
Acquisition from start to finish can be quite time consuming, so I could have been +/- 2 months and the timing would have been equivalently good/bad.
Hard to say effect, nothing is confirmed till the money is in the bank :). Me leaving definitely changed the outcome. Happy it still went through; all parties are happy and Clickpass found a good home.
