SDE 2 XBOX team offer seems too low

i an being offered a L61 sde 2 role in xbox team. i have a masters and close to 7 years work experience (international 3) and US 4 years. being offered base of 132k, 140k stock and 30k sign on. seems very low to me. tried negotiating hard the recruiter says based on interviews this is the best. i am desperate to get to seattle for sake of family. am i making a mistake? how easy is it to get promo? manager is saying she will work with me to get to 62 in a year #Microsoft offer

Yeah that's equivalent to the new grad salary except base is a little higher

Yeah that’s what my research points me towards. Not sure if I am resetting my career here.

Depends if you were previously at FAANG, internal team transfer, or just at a startup.
