Help me with in hand salary

I am java backend dev and my current tech stack is Java, spring boot, microservices, restful APIs, mysql, dsa(400+ problems in leetcode) Have knowledge in kafka as well but no hands on experience.

My current CTC is 7Lpa

No frontend or cloud experience. I got the above offer(hyd location,hybrid model). I have already resigned in my company, attended few interviews but failed in all. Should I prepare more rigorously? Or be satisfied it's a good package for my current exp?

TIA

Edit: joined the company a few days ago. Thank you all for your inputs, it gave me confidence!!

Is the offer 16Lpa +8% variable pay good for 2.5y java developer?

Career Advice

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to switch my career and would appreciate some advice on how to move forward. Here’s a bit about my situation:
I worked as an electrical technician from 2016 to 2020 but decided to quit and take a break. I’ve been unemployed for over 4 years.
In 2017, I enrolled in college to work toward my bachelors in electrical engineering, which took me six years to complete (graduated in 2023) because of backlogs. My CGPA is 5.6 out of 10.
In 2024, I decided to switch careers and took up a full-stack Java developer certification course (6 month course plus a 3 month unpaid internship from the same institute). I’m now feeling uncertain about how to approach the job market, especially with a career gap, my academic performance and age.

Given my background do you think anyone will hire me as a fresher in the tech industry?
