Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

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?

I have been working for 3 years 6 months (started in 2021) as a Data Analyst/BI Analyst with my techstack being SQL, Python and PBI. I have switched 2 companies and currently at my 3rd one from the last 1.7 years being paid 14.57 LPA.
I am switching because it's become stagnant here with no room for further growth (after many talks with my team lead etc.)
I am afraid of not being able to bag DS/DA roles because every other hiring post says that they require the whole world from a DA with 3+ years of experience. Idk how to prove my abilities with limited exposure so far and therefore, how much salary also to ask and negotiate for.
Please help!

How much salary should I ask for and how to prove my skills?
