Looking for opinions on offers from Google and Microsoft in Austin. I just came from Amazon in NYC with 1.5 YOE. TC: 161k

Google team is in CorpEng working on a full stack project. I will probably be bored with the team but I'll be the only L3 which I've heard can help with promos. It's also a better offer.
L3 offer:
Base 120k
RSU: 115,000 33/33/17/17
20k sign on
Target 15% performance bonus (18k)
TC: 195,950 first, 175,950 2nd year.

Microsoft team is in Azure writing backend C++ for a database engine. This team seems significantly more interesting to me, but they told me there's 1-2 years of ramp up on the codebase which makes me think the dev practices are off/won't translate elsewhere.
L61 offer:
Base 121k
RSU: 30k/year
Sign on: 30k
Performance bonus(10% target): 12.1k
TC: 193.1k first year, 162.1k second year

Edit: confirmed MS is L61, added performance bonus
Edit 2: updated offers after negotiations.
