Difficult but not impossible.
You can certainly reach upto 35+ LPA with this experience but to cross that... You may need lot of counter offers.
I was at 20 LPA fixed and to land upto 32 fixed - I had to take 6 counter offers.
First accepted offer of 25, then 27 then 29 fixed and then there was a pause for 2 months untill last 10 days of Notice period. Your value suddenly increases in last 2 weeks of Notice period cause you are immediately available to join now.
This is the time when you can take a bigger jump.
Always remember - Don't tell the next company how much counter offers you have.
Always tell that you have just 1 offer and that is the maximum offer. For e.g: Tell you have 29 LPA offer only when the next company is willing to give you above that. Don't tell about 27 and 25 LPA offer - this weakens their trust in you cause it gives them a clear idea that you are doing offer hopping.
Also, if they ask you why you are not satisfied with the previous offer - Just tell them clearly a reason which they can't argue back like - The offer location is Hyderabad but I am looking for Pune etc OR they are telling me to work on 5 pm to 1 am shift - which is a concern for me.
Hope you land a good offer.
You will cross 35 for sure. 40 also possible with counter offers - above 40 with just 7 YOE, you will need luck. So best of luck
