How liquid are Stripe RSUs?

I'm expecting to get an L3, maybe L4 offer from Stripe and trying to figure out how to evaluate the comp. Any idea how liquid Stripe RSUs are? If comp is $200,000k/year in RSUs (theoretically) how much of that would actually be available to use pre-IPO? Thanks!

It is a private company. So not liquid at all.

Is selling back to stripe not an option?

They’ve done buybacks for ISOs but not RSUs. The RSUs have a double trigger vest, so they don’t technically fully vest until a liquidity event.

Couldn’t this get messy or at least long drawn for Stripe employees? CEO says there are no plans for an IPO !
