I want to invest heavily in SQ (Square) . What do you guys think? Is the statement “Square is the amazon of payments” true? http://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/square-stock-price-competitors-stuck-in-the-past-on-bitcoin-analyst-interview-2018-3-1017590542
I think Stipe has enough customer base to overtake Square or Clover . But when will they go live so they can buy those companies and become a good competitor to PayPal and Adyen ? PayPal and Ayden change too much fees.
Square is buying Jay Z’s Tidal, which is a Spotify competitor. Is this just a case of one billionaire bailing out another, or is this a good move? SQ stock is down about 10% since the announcement.
Do you think there will be a twitter alternative? A competitor that takes over the place as the internet’s town square @twitter #tech
Have an offer deadline soon. Square is one of my top choices, but I’ll be hearing from competitors as well and have one more on-site scheduled. How can I get a deadline extended?
Hey guys, I am planning to make a shift from Apple to Square. Do any of the Apple guys know if they will “walk me out on the same day” when I tell my manager? Is Square a “competitor”? I still want to be there atleast for a week for an approiate hand-off. Let me know if that will be possible. Thank...Read more

While PayPal is still the largest ecommerce payment gateway in global volume, they’re not trading at any multiples compared to their competitors (Adyen, square, theoretically stripe). When it comes to offline transactions they’re nowhere near fis or fiserv. What happened here? Was it just margins?...Read more

Affirm Folks, Where is your Debit+, that Max has been talking for a while. Why is it taking so long to release it to wider audience, and how much revenue/profit will it make? And how will affirm catch it's competitors like Klarna and Afterpay, who already have so many users already? #affirm #klar...Read more
I get they may have some differentiating products but for the majority of their revenue, they all do the same thing, payment processing. I noticed Stripe has a crapload of talent though, mostly ex-Google and Facebook. Even the CFO of General Motors and an ex-head of Goldman Sachs left their jobs to...Read more
Recently got an offer for 245 (150 base, 95/year RSU) from Square as L4. Also have an offer from a startup for 268 (180 base, 88/yr RSU OR options). I’m new to the startup game and don’t know how to evaluate the offers against each other. Startup recent raised series D at ~1.5B valuation. Might be ...Read more
Stripe has been getting a lot of hype lately. My understanding is that their core business is a payments API. What makes Stripe’s product uniquely appealing? I acknowledge that they now have many other products that are not payments, but it seems to me like other tech companies can easily launch th...Read more
Hi Blind, Making the jump to MSFT after interviewing and finally squaring away all the background check stuff. Not sure how to quit my current job though. I've got vacation planned for the week after next week. I expect to get walked out since I'm going to a "competitor", but not sure how/when to...Read more

I just wanted to share my interview experience for others testing the market right now, since I got a lot of help from others on blind. I did a bunch of interviews over the last few months but eventually landed with an L5 offer at Square that I'm happy with that was about a 175k bump in TC (230k->
