A senior eng who joined Stripe on 2015 would make 3-5m USD per year.
I don't think they would complain that their bosses become billionaires.

If you joined Stripe in 2019, Stripe is ~20b.
A senior eng gets 200k in cash and 250k in stock per year.
Today Stripe valuation is 79b.
This eng would earn 1.2m per year.
Now imagine you joined Stripe in 2015 where Stripe was worth ~5b.
I have a few friends joining stripe at that time, and that's where 3-5m per year comes from.
