If you’re already in the tech industry, I would suggest checking out Investment Foundations course by CFA Institute, they no longer have the certification but the coursework is still available on their website. Should give you some talking points for fintech interviews

Thank you! I am checking it out. I’m coming from the Mortgage industry, which has been very weird the past couple years.

You can also look at companies that have some oart of fintech as part of their portfolio, apply and even if you are not part of that team, volunteer to cross train.

This is my same question. I do consumer lending meaning your auto loans, credit cards, personal loan and HELOCs for the top credit union in the US. I am also looking towards the future in financial industries which to me is FinTech. I will be following this thread closely.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.
