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

What are your thoughts on the lack of cloud and frontend experience in your current skillset? Do you think this new role will provide opportunities for you to learn and grow in these areas?

You’re getting a great bump in pay! If you want to prepare more rigorously, focus on cloud and real Kafka experience, as that will boost your value even more.

16 LPA for 2.5 years is definitely above market standards. What are your concerns tech stack, company culture, or future opportunities?

You are already getting a good hike. If you are okay with the tech stack and company, then join. No need to give it a second thought.
