Your interviewer wants to know that you will proactively respond to challenges right off the bat and fit in well with State Street's hardworking team. Furthermore, your interviewer wants to ensure you have the formal training needed to be successful on the job or if you'll need support to fill in training gaps. While being honest about potential challenges, you might encounter during your onboarding, emphasize your plan of attack for dealing with any hurdles. If you can think of an example off the top of your head, share with your interviewer an example of when 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 making the leap to a different industry. My five years of experience out of college have been focused on capital markets, but I feel that I've built a solid knowledge base to transition into a role focused on wealth management at State Street. If given the opportunity to join your team, my initial focus would be to jump right into learning all I can about the wealth management team."
