Humble brag 😉

Or someone is just trying to get information on proper leveling so they’re not lowballed

And that’s where levels.fyi is just off. The reason I asked for IC stage is that levels are not uniform across Microsoft. E.g. a L60 in some markets is very high while it is low in others (in the US you mostly start with L61+). IC stage is the one that is uniform and here it should ideally be at least IC4 given you have some experience.

If I was you I’d look at the actual offer rather than the level. E.g I am currently a L59 with a high comp because I am in a high salary market. Also, the position is great so I couldn’t care less that my title sounds less senior than those with higher levels who probably make less than me.

20k sign on stock? Yes this sounds great, I got 8k 🙃!
Annual stock is variable, 0-X k USD depending on individual performance.

Also, she mentioned that your current project is based on your X competency so we can't change it.

No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

The non-work factors I'm debating are:
1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities
