The value of a thing is defined as the amount you can sell it for. Valuation based on fundraising rounds is not how much you can sell your stock for.
Your stock may be worth a lot more if/when it is finally liquid, but it is muchmuch more likely that it will be worthless. There are many ways that your shares can end up worthless while the founders (or more likely investors) of the company cash out millions of dollars. Be careful to avoid being dependent on that stock in how you plan your finances.
I’ve already cashed out some in a company sponsored secondary round, so there’s definitely a market for it. Again, I got lucky, and the company is actually doing well from what I can tell (haven’t worked there for a number of years now)
