I think having been walked through the process once I'd be able to do it myself. It's not too complicated but you do need to know a few things.

1. Each level has a range of salary/stock that they can't go above and you can infer the range by looking at the reported info on levels.fyi. For my company you have no possibility of negotiating into a higher level.

2. If you haven't been offered a signing bonus just say the words and 10s of thousands of dollars will magically appear.

3. You can push back on their offers many times. Previously I'd only ever made one negotiation move but I think there were 3 rounds of back-and-forth for my current job.
