I have worked at UHG for a number of years. Both as a management consultant with an Optum advisory services and on the UHC side in a more of a traditional business role. Considering a move to IBM Watson health as a client executive. Wondering if anyone has had experiences within both companies and can provide any insight to help me make this decision.

At Optum. Good company, I am just significantly underpaid. Only go if you are getting a big jump!

Agree. Pretty good work-life balance but I definitely am not making pay at the market value that I want.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.
