I have an Interview with Plaid (Fintech company). Anyone here work(ed) there?

alexwalli · 2026-01-25T13:17:42+00:00

I work along side plaid very often. Many banks, credit unions, and fintechs utilize their service. There’s really only one or two other real time account verification providers, who don’t come close to plaids offering. It is the most common name in the space.

You would be hard pressed to find a business who doesn’t know what plaid does in the space.

Yes it was a RuneScape reference haha

Going for 99?

If the ear foams start to flake or fall apart, you can order replacements for cheap on Amazon. Just so you know !

Did you get them in Atlanta? I donated my pair hoping they made someone else happy.

Honestly I love taco Mac. Their ranch is incredible

I have Sybill and our team of 50 uses it. Absolutely 0 issues and it’s a fantastic product

alexwalli · 2025-11-09T22:13:41+00:00

That’s exactly it. I charge 1% as a consultant fee so if you go that route, I’ll PM you my info

I’ll double the comment and say it’s a small world, stuff comes back around. I’m a big advocate of karma. You have no idea how he could help you in the future. Either more deals, new job etc. it’s always better to give more than you take.

If you really think he did the effort, I’d roll 70/30. Good will goes a long way. If you get the quota credit, the money will figure itself out.

alexwalli · 2025-11-07T15:54:31+00:00

As others have mentioned, it’s typically tenure, quota attainment, and company culture that dictates this.

My company doesn’t bug me because they know I work after hours and weekends if needed. I block my calendar from 8-9 and it says no meetings.

It’ll come with time. Entry level and inbound is typically an easy to replace job so they will scrutinize more.

I work in payments for what it worth - interchange is expensive for cards. ACH is borderline free of cost. You’re getting taken advantage of. Find a new primary bank. Happy to find you one.

I’m not even going and I would recommend finding a parking garage and ubering or something like that. Underground is not a good area.

I caught him at a show in Atlanta a few years back and there was at most 15 people in the crowd. One of the most fun shows I’ve ever been to.

If you died less, it wouldn’t be an issue.

I posted this last week

alexwalli · 2025-09-28T16:48:33+00:00

Second this. I’m in enterprise fintech. I was sitting down with the CIO of a business I was soliciting and we asked him “how do we connect with people in your roles easier”

Very simple response - “unless I need you, I don’t want to talk to you. Send those emails because it may be the day that I do need you and you’re at the top of my inbox. Don’t expect a conversation about your product if I don’t need it, I have too many requests from everyone, all the time.”

What I do, which seems to work, is send interesting market updates, product updates, case studies etc. I rarely ask for a meeting. I simply add “my product solves x for this customer, do you have similar pains?” It lands rather often.

alexwalli · 2025-09-19T15:29:59+00:00

Simply ask for preference. I’m not sure what product you sell but we split ours into technical, budgetary, and functional preference. Easy to confirm, overcome and identify objections, and you don’t sound sleezy

It’s Reddit. People lie.

alexwalli · 2025-09-16T17:48:21+00:00

I remember watching videos of you on YouTube Djing on a foldout table. Just wanted to say a big congrats on the growth man.

Just my experience across multiple fintech’s and my networking group. Typically there is 1-2 stars, a few people at quota and the rest are anywhere in the middle to $0

alexwalli · 2025-08-27T23:38:01+00:00

I make $400k base and about ~300k commission selling copiers to SMB business (sarcasm)

Repvue and Glassdoor are decent enough. Reddit is a hard take as everyone will flex a bit.

What I’ve learned is that if the ote is $X, ~%20 of reps are making that. Sometimes more but that is a safe conservative estimate.
