I think I'll survive September, so what is the best strategy to make it another five years? If the company splits, how do I position myself to be employed by the better company?

You might be better of to GTFO package now and move onto better things; it's possible majority of what's left might be outsourced to low cost areas due to competition and "commoditization" of mobile and such.
but kruggy just said debt is good. debt works. Listen to Paul Krugman! He's got many awards and prizes!
@140586, it's because most people set themselves up with a sh**load of debt for their primary residence and cannot take any risks. They will lose the roof over their heads if there is any protracted period of unsteady income. Every entrepreneur knows that loading up on debt is the best way to tie yourself to your day job
Right now, the better company is most likely NOT QCOM
The overconfident employees are the ones that usually get the axe.
OP: Yes, you will most certainly survive Sep. as long as you don't have any known (or latent) mental issues and become suicidal or go postal in the process. Unfortunately, the tone in your post gives me the feeling that you will not be a Q come Sep.
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We've got five years, that's all we've got
QCOM hasn't got another 5 years.
I do not believe all use stock ARM.
All of the existing ones are the off the shelf POS ones for mobile
Assuming there are jobs to be had in five years.
Inhumanely bust your azz and live at work so your ratings are very high every review.

But watch out, promotions can bring even higher expectations. BOOM there goes your high ratings.
lots of ARM server solutions out there. Why would GOOG buy a division which just announced its first effort? Guess it's all part of Barry's genius firesale plan
become on-demand water delivery driver into SoCal. Wuber, the Uber for water.
Come work with us on the datacenter cpu, we will be around or bought by GOOG.

use your w2 income and do something else with it off to the side. Why do so many people spend most of their time making someone else richer is beyond me.
