I interviewed, didn’t make it past the final round.

It was a few months ago for a BizOps type position. This is my takeaway: From a functional standpoint seemed like they needed me to show both strong financial services knowledge and experience working with technical and product teams.
- being a consultant in my firm’s Fin Services practice, I think I was ok there. Was able to discuss that piece decently I feel
- experience working with tech teams; feel like I really struggled here. Tech industry friends tell me that Stripe is known to be quite a technical company and I genuinely do not have enough chops / experience there.

Just my understanding of why I didn’t make it through (and thus biased for sure!)

Good luck! Hope you crush it 💯

Im interviewing there now but seems hard to crack into. My sense is being a financial services generalist just doesn’t provide enough industry-specific skills. What are your thoughts?

I only had the initial HR screen today so was a fairly basic explaining my journey interview + a bunch of information he provided me on their products. Many have only recently launched so hard to be aware of unless already using their product.

Same here am a generalist. Just called for interview too. But I see only MBB and FAANG folks there and I am losing my confidence now..

OP- DM me for questions?

Update: Was rejected after phone screen. Realistically, I think generalist/financial services consulting background may not cut it.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
