    The offer depends on which team you are going to join in.
    If your current job is not in cloud it’s a good offer. If you are already on cloud and have experience in kubernites or security then this is not much of a hike.
    Also look at which band you are being offered and what is expected from you. This salary range comes for Band 7 so if you’re not looking for a long term career in IBM. Look for other options.

      If your are joining ISL then they look at your education institutions, if you are from IIT or NIT. You will be given better position.
      Else it’s based on experience & skill set
      Just keep in mind IBM does not pay great in terms of hikes or bonus.
      I think 25L is the max limit for 7B so unless you grow to band 8 you will not get a proper hike.

      IBM cloud paks are containers running on RedHat
      This is basically the open shift offering from IBM to deploy IBM software.

      Most of the work in IBM Cloud BU replicates Google cloud offering, or support.

      If you are going to work on Kube Storage or Security, you can do some Dev work.
      Else most of the work is triage issues or at the best provide support.

      Well I have seen even 7 years getting band 8 and even 12 years working in 7a. Cloud pak is ok atleast ull get to work on cloud technology. But cloud pak is basically ibm products offered in cloud base. So u have cloud pak for data which is Watson services. Cloud pak for integration where u have app connect api connect Kafka etc . May be u will be working on common services across all cloud pak . CTC wise if u can negotiate a bit that would be better. Else it's still OK
