Need Your Opinion – Final Decision Day
I’m at a crossroads and would really appreciate your perspective.
Today is the last day to decide between two job offers: Optum and Lloyd.
Option 1: Optum
Domain leader in healthcare tech
Gurgaon location (close to home)
Project: Payment pipeline (fullstack - Java + React)
Solid learning opportunity
Work-life balance might be a concern (as per someone who’s worked at both firms)
Option 2: Lloyd
Location: Hyderabad
Project: R&D-focused work, primarily in React
Flat structure with less defined processes (can be good or bad)
Moderate work-life balance expected
Open to revising package
Neither role offers international relocation.
I’m looking for both time and deep technical growth.
My key question:
Will an R&D-focused role (mostly React) help in future transitions to FAANG companies?
Any insights from those who've been in similar situations would mean a lot.
