You can push up another 50k TC from where you are, though you will need a reason (ie another offer).
What is the general time line to be promoted as SDE-3?
Base: 130k
Bonus 1: 90k
Bonus 2: 70k
Rsu: 105.
I am a fresh PhD student. Your base is fine, it's almost near max limit. Your rsu looks low compare to your base. You should ask around 100 rsu units.
