Career Dilemma: Is This Analytics Position a Step Forward or a Setback?

EXPERIENCE

I have 5 years and 4 months of experience. Of that, 3.4 years were related to business development, and 2 years were in email customer support. I have a gap of 2 years between my business development and customer support experience, and haven't been working since September 2023. I am now trying to transition into data analytics/data science after completing a Data Science postgraduate program at Great Learning from September 2023 to August 2024. Since then, I have been actively applying for jobs but have not yet secured one.

OFFER

The last drawn salary is 4.8L. I received an offer from a medium-scale NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company) in Chennai that provides credit to customers and for the role of "Deputy Manager - Analytics." The salary is a base of ₹6.8 lakh, with a bonus of ₹60,000 at the end of the financial year. They mentioned that they do not have a Master Data Management (MDM) system and that the data is in Qlik (https://www.qlik.com/us/products/qlik-sen se). I will not be managing any team, but the title is reflective of their lower pay scale.

QUESTION

1. Is it worth joining to learn data analytics in qlik? Or should I join?

2. Will the title impact my future job search negatively in any way?

3.Will my next TC be calculated from 6.8 base salary or 7.4 including the bonus for my next company?

4. Any other advice?
