Just received an offer at Optum for 135k. It’s a digital product role. This would be a 35K raise for me in CA.. Should I take it?

Something is telling me you might be concerned about something other than salary? Because a 35k bump is a no-brainer. Do you like the new role, is it what you wanted?

Ah, gotcha. If that’s their initial offer, there’s always room for more so go ahead and counter. If this is your second offer after you’ve already negotiated, I’d say run with it. Pretty in line for Product Manager roles at managed care orgs. If senior PM, ask for more 😊

What's different about the role? Work life balance?

Not sure how work life balance is at Optum, maybe someone can help! I know I could use the extra money

Go with it! Early congratulations 🎊🎈🎉

OMG yes. You do not want to pass up that much money. I would regret not taking it if I didn't.

yes that is only a dream or fantasy for me. I wish I could make that..

Please advice on what we should do now.
