Accepting a new role at Stripe. Wondering if I'll get walked out if I reveal it to my manager? I know this is the case for Google, just not sure if Microsoft considers Stripe as a competitor. I want enough time to transition all of my work to make it easier for my team once I'm gone. Thanks! New TC...Read more

How serious is the 17 day vacation policy at Stripe? Is it strictly enforced or do managers do their own thing? The number of days seems on quite the low end based on their competitors.
It looks like Stripe recently led series A funding for Fast which is designing a 1 click checkout experience where you’ll have one login for every site using Fast. Why would Stripe invest in this company? For it to succeed, doesn’t it have to become a direct competitor of Stripe. Right now, I’m re...Read more
Considering the latest rounds of layoffs in high paying companies like Lyft, Stripe, Meta and the rest, do you think we will enter a new era of more cost effective companies where the engineering costs are slashed? Somebody on Twitter pointed out that while Stripe and Lyft were burning money and had...Read more
(To be clear, the Bolt I'm talking about is not the Estonian taxi company) Or is Bolt blaming others when they are responsible for their failure? Bolt's founder has likened Stripe and YC to the mob. Stripe also led a $120M Series B funding round for Bolt competitor Fast and also participated in F...Read more
Which company will you prefer? Fast.co - raised series B and stripe is one of the investors and has lot of competitors (bolt, checkout .com, etc). Can’t compare offers since fast is early stage startup. And I’m exploring a startup for the first time in my career.
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
The ones that are publicly traded have been getting destroyed: robinhood, affirm, paypal, coinbase Fast sizzling out "faster" than ever, blew through $120m in a legendarily stupid fashion (I don't even think I could spend this if I tried in 2 years) Excluding Stripe because they are probably the o...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
Since Plaid hasn't raised any outside capital after April 2021, how would one know the real/internal valuation of the company. As example, Stripe, it's closest competitor in the space saw it's internal valuation plunge by 28% according to news reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/14/technology/...Read more
Has anyone heard of non compete clauses being enforced in #Europe? Mine forbids me from working for any competitors like #Stripe.
I’m currently interviewing with Stripe for a PM role. Hoping to convert it into an offer. 🤞🏽 My primary motivation is to do good work with motivated, modest and smart creatives. I’m not majorly bothered about the valuation and IPO timelines. I do however have short term financial commitments that...Read more
Do you know if Stripe is considered a competitor? Trying to avoid burning the bridge by spending 2 weeks at my current team to hand off tasks on me. Not sure if I should disclose to my manager where I’m going.
Are Uber and Stripe Competitors of MS? Especially asking from a perspective of whether you would be walked out the same day you resign ? If so will we get salary for those 2 weeks ? How about in case of a vesting in that 2 week period? Thanks a lot Tc: 300
hypothetical question: Are startups prepared for recession? Which one is most prepared? I did a bit research by myself, folks can add more comments, might be useful information. I can add more if folks can help naming startups. Probably I should add other dimensions such as expansion rate etc. I do...Read more
I just got an offer from Stripe for TC $210 which is slightly less than I was hoping for. I'm wondering what sets them apart from other payment companies for good growth? I understand the value and risks of a payment aggregator but I'm curious what the growth case looks like in a market with severa...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
A recruiter sent me the following : "you will have a technical conversation/scenario that will touch on general technical problem-solving and a bit of SQL knowledge included on the phone." Role: lead software engineer Company: a competitor to Stripe Any idea on what can possibly be asked so i am...Read more
