Back in 2015, Stripe was worth between 3b and 10b. Right now it was worth 79b.

It is very likely her stock worth way more than a year or two of salary.

Yes, this is stock from private company.

Should we pity her for getting stripe private stock worth millions USD? Oh my god she is so sad right now. I'm crying for her. How is she going make a living?

OP was a mid-level non-management marketing role post-Series C, for a company which has seen considerable dilution over five additional rounds since. I imagine OP's outcome will be at best a few years worth of annual salary, maybe shy of $1M if lucky. Dilution is a bitch (it raised 90% of total funding after OP would have been granted equity).
