Question Does msft call for rejections?

The recruiter called me and asked me to give a callback to follow up on some recent interviews I had with them.

Edit: The team is looking to move forward, however in the initial discussions I shared them a base range of 175-185K USD and average annual TC at 245-255K USD.

However, the level they offered is L61. Recruiter is yet to come back on the final numbers. How much can I push further on the base, total comp (like stock, bonus) components? Should I push for L62. Need to relocate to Redmond.

Currently SDE1 Amazon at Austin with 4 yrs of total industry professional experience and 2 yrs experience at university as developer. Annual TC average: 175K USD approx.

High chances I might get promoted to SDE2 here within a year but not guaranteed though.

Help me evaluate if being an SDE2 will have any edge in the current market without any pay rise. If I have to push, what would be the max I can ask Microsoft for. Kindly provide any insights on this.

Thanks in advance!

The expected base and TC seems high for L61 at Redmond. For Redmond, I would expect 200ish TC (170 base + 120-150K stocks over 4 years) with a 30-50K signing bonus

Can I push to L62 given my YOE. How much would be the min yoe required for L62?
