Level 61? Redmond? Do you have other offers? Are you confident in your interviewing (leetcoding) skills, or you think this offer was lucky?

I don't know the level, should be 61 or 62

You should ask the level. Also does not look to me. Both base and RSU are low. Try to ger offer from one or more of Facebook, google, linkedin, uber, lyft, twitter, snap, box, dropbox, qoura, airbnb, if you are good. I know a fresh phd who got SDE offer from box with 195 base, 400k stock over 4 years, and some signon.

Strong offer. Doubt you'll be able to move anything without a stronger competing offer

If you have a competing offer, ask for 200k stock. That’s their maximum (or at least it was when I was negotiating).

New grad wouldnt come in as a 62, looks like a 61 offer. It's very good for 61 without a competing offer. Even with it's a pretty good offer. At most you could get a bit more rsu with a competing offer. TC > 200k in year one is pretty good.

Get the 50K and jump to GOOG for increase pay.
