They never change the level but ask the HR Rep... L5 is junior level think of like AM/M of consulting world

L6 is minimum. All mba hires are L6

L5 is pretty junior, but it’ll be hard to push for more without much product mgmt exp

Total YOE? Core skills?

OP with your experience and qualification, you should push for L6. That said, focus on the responsibilities of the role as well. And the total comp. If that makes you happy, go for it.

Pass on the offer.

I wouldn't do that. Getting through to an offer stage in itself is a hell of an accomplishment. Depending on OPs TOE , skills and goals, it may very well be worth it for OP.
