help! i am torn between two offers

If you want to learn a lot and be promoted based on merit, do not come here.

Huron brand and bonus better. I’d roll the dice that you could always jump to Optum from Huron if needed, but maybe not so guaranteed the other way around

like

As did my entire class of analysts.

Optum is enormous and falls under the UHG umbrella. If you're interested in potentially growing in other parts or that business you should consider it. But like others have said, you'll likely not be exposed to very much at Optum. At Huron you'll see a lot but burnout is a real possibility.

WLB is great at Optum. Otherwise I’d say average and a bit shaky as of late

Based on the above replies, I’m going to say pick us!

Same. We have a pretty good culture. Most people are supportive and transparent. Lots of opportunities for growth.

Used to consult at Optum, it was definitely a shit show. But if you just want to coast, it's probably a great place to be.

What does travel look like at Optum these days? And if I were in Industry currently and looking for a move, would it be impossible to come in at M or AD at Optum (no consulting experience but healthcare experience)? Trying to find the sweet spot between cruise and grind/burnout as a mid career type.

Hey OP. Did you get cased at Optum / Huron?
