I got a remote L6 SWE offer at Google but the RSUs are too low for that level ($625k over 4 years), could not negotiate it higher. I’ve accepted the offer but trying to be hopeful that I could make it more equitable in the future if I perform well. Are stock refreshers based on the initial RSU grant or solely based on performance? Google

I would definitely not down level yourself because Google down levels and I made that mistake and I never got back to past my level because of promo politics there. It is hard and slow to get promoted these days, and more so than before so I would only apply at your level or higher at Google. And negotiate hard at the start because that is the biggest salary and package you will commission after that it is mostly incremental and over time (different if youre an Eng or PM) If you arent defo recommend the first step is to aim high/ start at the max you can get across everything ;)
Double downlevel yourself.
The downlevel yourself again.
