Got an offer from Optum and need some honest opinions — is it a good opportunity?

Current: Comcast — Data Engineer (AI + product), 7.4 YOE, 24 LPA. Good work, solid hikes, strong exposure, stable team.

Offer: Optum — 41.5 LPA (20% variable) + 1L joining bonus.

Confused beyond comp:
• High variable component
• Unsure about quality of work vs current AI/product exposure
• Long-term growth vs short-term pay
• Stability and learning

Is it a good opportunity?

Hi Everyone! I have a background in health research. I received my first offer as a ux researcher 3 (1 step below senior) which is pretty competitive compared to my former field. It is with fanduel for 120k base, 6% bonus (8% next year since I’m not starting in jan) , I believe 10% in equity (12.5% next year) total comp 130. I’m extremely grateful but just wanted to see if this was acceptable for the industry. I’m mixed methods and they want to build out their quant side. Should I accept as is?

Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
