Choose the right perspective
Match the company's stage and model to yours, since an early-stage payments startup, a licensed digital bank and a listed financial services company face different hiring, pay and governance questions. Check how long each person has held the role and where they worked before, since that shapes which stages of growth they have seen firsthand.
Questions to take into the conversation

- 02How do you compete for engineering and product talent against larger technology and banking employers?
- 03What changes did you make to performance management and pay as the company moved toward profitability or a listing?
