Microsoft SDE 2 Offer

I got the following offer for Microsoft SDE 2: Base: $146k Bonus: $24k Stock: $50k over 4 years. I am currently SDE 2 at Amazon (promoted this Q1) and my target comp is $177k. The Microsoft offer is from Power BI group, Bellevue and I already negotiated once. I don't know if it is L61 or L62 and recruiter won't disclose that detail. Is there a room for negotiation? Updated offer: Base: $148k Bonus: $48k Stock: $100k over 4 years. Is this offer max for L62?

They should tell you the level. That sounds weird. They had disclosed level clearly last year I got an offer from them.

Looks like standard issue Seattle area salary for SDE1, base salary is good though, negotiate the rest of that shit

Is this the average salary for sde1 in seattle, who is offering 146k base to sde1s?

No he's saying total comp is sde1 level. Base salary is good for sde2. I think

Assuming Seattle is quite high for L62. Stock can go higher.

Base is solid. Ask for more stock.

Pretty sure that’s for 62.

Base is good, stock can go much higher

Good base, looks 62, wiggle room for stock and maybe signing, doesn't hurt to ask.

Initial offer's stock was $20k and I asked for $100k. Recruiter only increased it to $50k. Do you know any range for l62 offers?
