Microsoft offer eval

Got a verbal offer from the recruiter finally after a month of to and fro due to a mistake made by recruiters during my interview. Last week they literally called and rescinded the offer and that is when I had to give up and ask if they can give me the previous level 61 they offered in first place(was asking for 63 with 10 YOE). Need to make a move to Seattle due to family so need it :(. Still i never thought I’ll be lowballed to this level. Let me know what you think about these numbers and what should I expect as per my negotiation. Offer details Base 125K asked 140k Stocks 30k/4 asked 60k/4 Joining 10k asked 30K Honestly, this Tc is less than my current , but 2 income > 1 and this willing to move but not at that lowballed offer. Recruiter reluctantly told me that she will talk to the program manager again and let me know. Communication with this recruiter has been really choppy so it makes it even harder for me to negotiate. Update: Revised number: Base :130 Stocks :50 Joining :15 Scheduled to speak with Hiring manager as well.. hopefully some thing good comes out of the call.
