Offer seems low at that level but also know Seattle offers aren’t as high as Bay Area and NYC - usually 15% less FYI. I think you should push for more base and more equity and also add a sign on bonus to the mix to get your overall year 1 TC higher.

Google loves to lowball. I had to bring 3 competing offers to the table and it was still an uphill battle

They’re competing with tech firms quite aggressively. It’s definitely a crazy job market.
