What type of fintech firm do you prefer to work for?
Fintech job seekers typically center their job search on banks, startups, BigTech firms, and firms with financial divisions. Talk to the interviewer about the type of firm you most prefer to work for and why. While you want to be honest, aligning your preferences with their company type will show that you will be a good fit if they decide to hire you.
"During my job search, I've noticed open fintech positions at banks, startups, BigTech firms, and firms with financial divisions. I've put a lot of thought into the type of firm that would be the best fit for me personally, and I believe that would be a startup like yours. While the BigTech names like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google are impressive-sounding, I would love to be a part of a smaller company where I can see the direct impact of my work on a daily basis. I really want to make a difference in helping a startup grow and succeed. Also, I've specifically researched your startup, and its mission, vision, products, and culture all appeal to me. I'm convinced I'd be the perfect fit for this role within your company."
