If you are speaking about compensation, then im yet to negotiate one. I was unsure of the range as this would be my first switch.

i suggest u to look at different company like adobe, or microsoft or some other amazon level company specially product based company only for growth. don't downgrade company or level . in consultancy , u will not get growth that much easily as well as job safety & brand name. look like optum is expanding its consultancy business. they are hiring continuously.. don't know when bubble will blast

He is right the engineering maturity is similar to congnizant. All leaders are from Cognizant. Actually, it's like working for Cognizant. Would you leave Amazon and work for Cognizant?

Working at optum solely depends on the team. Some teams have their own products some dont. Software engineer lead is a manager level role. Here since optum works with healthcare data, lot of trust is required between employees and amount of trust = time spent in the company So promotions at optum are quite tough. You wont be able to become a senior manager most probably. Hikes are a little less too but this solely depends on the team.
