A single Stripe E3 role (senior eng) can pay over $500k/yr.

How much of that $500K is liquid?

Looks like on average an L3 SWE at Stripe gets paid 215k stock, 218k stock, 34k bonus. So ~53% of pay is liquid (cash), the rest equity in a private company.

The equity vesting is a $$ amount though, not a number of shares, so it's less volatile than typical RSUs.
