Advice from senior designers

**Day 2/30** - Every day for the month of October I share key learnings on different topics relating to design, product, and other skills from the internet

**Category: Career tips**

* You

  * Demonstrate biz value as a designer

    How?

    * work backward

    * Think about what biz value you can bring

    * Think about what metric you want to optimize for

    * Evaluate your design on that metric

  * Common biz value

    1. More revenue → conversion rate

    2. Reduce cost → Service design, time spent on the task (usability), reduce man hours, HeadCount requirements to run a business

    3. Growth, user acquisition → paid (ads) or organic (SM, content, SEO) → bounce rate, click-through rate, CAC

    4. Retention → DAU (daily active user), MAU, WAU, engagement method

  * Examples:

    * Biz prompt → "reduce Customer Acquisition Cost"

    * Research → Now the company spends money through ads (paid ) and email marketing

    * Target → entrepreneur, merchant → Top searches “How do I create, find a logo for my new business” → high search volume per month + low competition

    * Find a strategy and create a proposal

    * Test out and measure result

  * Use this to talk about the next company → talk about their user acquisition problems/opportunities

Negotiations as a junior designer

**Day 1/30** - Every day for the month of October I share key learnings on different topics relating to design, product, and other skills from the internet

**Category: Soft skills** 

Key points:

* Make collaboration a part of the company’s value or at least at team’s value

* Realize that people have different communication styles - extroverts tend to be comfortable with discussions in big groups while introverts spend the time thinking and coming back to the problem. **Make time and space available** and feed it back into the process

* See what kind of feedback, reasons for accepting/not accepting - inclusivity

Actions: \*what you can do today\*

* show up to people who you want to work with

* push back constructively (you don’t always have to say yes)

* take screenshots of your Kudos and store them in one place
