How to get in at Stripe
Applying early gives you a distinct advantage at Stripe, as recruiters often review candidates before the applicant pool becomes unmanageable.

This helps you avoid the frustration of waiting in a growing queue while others are already being considered. You can also improve your response rates by reaching out to the people actually hiring for the team. Intern Insider surfaces the recruiters behind the company's roles so you can contact them directly to ask about the position or a referral. A brief, professional message to the right person often beats a blind application.
