I'd trim even more. Those secondary branches will produce a very confused structure. For instance, that little one on the bottom should be cut back close to the trunk. The top three off the main stem should probably go away. And look down from above and eliminate redundancies -- branches that come within 45° of each other. The general dictat is that you cut off everything except the main stem below the first major node, but I've never been able to restrict myself to that with my bigger plants.

Overall you can see that the plant is eager to come back. You should be fine!
