🚨 Career Dilemma – Need Genuine Advice

I’m at an important turning point in my career and would truly value some sincere guidance — especially from seniors or experienced folks who can advise me like an elder brother or sister.

I have 3.9 years of experience as a Java Full Stack Developer.

Started at Accenture (11 months) in a support role, but since I’ve always been passionate about development, I made a switch.

Joined Infosys (2.9 years) where I got strong hands-on experience in Spring Boot and Angular.

Recently joined Optum (May 2025) with a 21 LPA fixed salary.

Now here’s the situation:

While serving notice at Infosys, I was actively trying for a role at Goldman Sachs — a company I’ve always aspired to work with. I even completed their HackerRank test during my notice period. Despite following up with HR, there was no response in time, and I joined Optum.

Now, one month into Optum, I’ve received a call from Goldman Sachs and HR informed that I cleared the HackerRank test — they’re ready to process my profile and the expected CTC is around 30–35 LPA and they are positive.

My dilemma is: 🌀 It's been just 1 month at Optum, and I’m unsure if making a switch so soon would hurt my profile in the long run.

I’m struggling to decide whether I should go ahead with this change or stay longer to avoid looking unstable as I already have one early switch at Accenture.

At the same time, this is a rare opportunity — better pay, better brand, and better alignment with my long-term goals.

❓ Would switching now be seen as irresponsible or strategic? ❓ Would taking this move be considered immature or smart career planning? 💬 I would deeply appreciate advice — not just from those who’ve been in this exact situation, but from any experienced professionals who can guide me like family.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Thank you in advance 🙏
