What should be my ctc expectation, prev. was 10LPA base + 8LPA esops

I got laid off from previous startup, it was early stage startup, I used to work 14 hours a day, even in nights because founder was in nyc, it was remote for me.

I used to get $1k per month and had $10k esops which did not vest.
$1k ~ inr 85K per month ~ 10.2 LPA
$10K ~ inr 8.5L esops

I took a break for 2 month because I was too burnt out.

I have been applying since last 2 month, got few calls, they took introductory rounds and then ghosted me. apart from this I am barely getting any response.

I dont know whats wrong, is it my ctc or what?
I have also tried removing my esops from my expected ctc part on portals and when applying, still no response.

- I did an internship: 2023
- break - because could not find any job.
- started contributing to open source, founder reached out and thats how i joined last company: 2024, worked for 1 year and got laid off cause founder is pivoting.
