Your interviewer wants to know that you will proactively respond to challenges right off the bat and fit in well with Plaid's team of motivated, hardworking individuals. They also want to ensure you have the formal training needed to be successful on the job. While being honest about potential challenges that you might encounter during your onboarding, emphasize your plan of attack for dealing with hurdles. If you can think of an example off the top of your head, share with your interviewer an example of a time you were confronted with a challenge at a new job and how you responded to this adversity.

"Having put a lot of thought into this even before submitting my resume for this position, I realize that my greatest hurdle would be moving to a different industry. My five years of experience out of college have been focused on marketing for a tech company, but I feel that I've built a solid knowledge base to transition into a fintech role with Plaid. If given the opportunity to join your team, I would initially focus on learning as much as I can about the growing digital finance space, which I have already researched extensively."
