Hey Author, it is very funny when you were advised by the very folks at Optum to pick BY, you were confidently throwing around a ₹38L CTC… and now you’re stuck choosing between remote and hybrid. Why is this even a dilemma? Variable pay these days is basically a hope, not a guarantee — even people meeting expectations are seeing close to zero. So banking on that while commuting in traffic 10 days a month feels like trading comfort for uncertainty. At the end of the day, it’s simple: real money + better lifestyle vs theoretical money + daily chaos. You know what makes more sense. And the choice is still yours, Good luck 👍

Well that’s not my decision to make! Do your situation analysis and choose!

Hi,

Just out of curiosity, what did you choose? Did optum agreed to increase the pay?
I want to negotiate but I am not sure if they match or increase the pay.
