Exploring google role at L6 but comp seems low.

I’ve been talking with google about an L6 role (edit: on the business side). I’m coming from Disney at the executive director level. The google role is lower in title, but that doesn’t concern me if the role and comp are good. And the role seems great but not the comp! i figure 232k/yr based on what HR told me: Base 150k, bonus 20%, equity 200K over four years). Am I wrong that that seems low for google? I have an offer at a smaller company for a VP level role and the TC is a good 100k higher.

This is closer to an L4 offer for SWE than L6.
This isn't Google lowballing - your comp would be completely outside the band for L6 SWE.
On the other hand, your bonus target (20%) is spot on for L6.
Also, TC is 230k/year. Where'd you get the extra 2k?
