The team is in Seattle, but the recruiter gave me an offer in the Bay area to match the other offers (He said it's hard to create a Seattle offer to compete). The recruiter told me I can relocate to Seattle later without lowering my base/bonus/RSU. Is it true?
The TC is about 630k, is it worth accepting the offer or continue interviewing Uber 5B, LinkedIn Staff, Stripe Staff?
I also have a FB E5 offer about 520K. I think they roughly match if taking account of refresh/free food/ and the 15% appreciation in Amazon's offer, right?
YOE: 6yr, L5 at G, Eng PhD, MLE

If you are above that during the yearly refresh, you just don't get new RSUs.
Your offer is already above band, even with the new offers, so don't expect any refreshers, regardless of whether the stock drops. You'd only get refreshers if the stock dropped so much that it dropped you below the target.
Keep in mind that the target is not the top of the band. You only get the top of band as a target if you've gotten TT (top tier) rating in two consecutive years. You get 80% band penetration if you've gotten TT last year, and you get the bottom of band as a target in all other cases
You could try keeping your base in Bay Area to $160k itself and ask for an increase in Sign On/RSUs that way you do not have to take a hit when you move to Seattle.
What is your YOE and skillset?
And big congratulations btw.
+1, keep your base as low as possible.
