Do hiring company verify grade in current company?
YOE experience 5 I was a SDE2 in previous company. Due to layoff had only offer from Microsoft at L60 and had to join. I feel bad about my career, with atleast 1 yr before I can get promoted based on current competitiveness in team. If I tell my level as 61/62 to other company I'm interviewing with, Can they figure out, given YOE is valid 5 yrs

No, they can't. Your background check will only show company, not level

TC is where it matters. You will be leveled based on salary

Just speak the truth... nobody cares 61 vs 62.. unless you lie and it gets leaked...
They will re level you to the appropriate grade based on your skills.
So should i tell my grade as 61/62 or tell the correct grade as 60 and ask for higher SDE2? I feel that they might think me as underperformer
Just find your level equivalent and ask for that. Align to their description
