Bare with me as I start my search for better employment after almost 10 years. How would you answer Why USAA? I have 3 pointers, would love to hear more or at the very least feel confident in my current responses.

Happy to give you feedback on your 3 responses if you post them. I always answer these questions by researching the org's mission/vision and extrapolating how my own values relate to or support those. If you've done something similar you're probably fine.

Please share your 3 pointers and then we can elaborate from there.
