Meta product design challenge
I don’t have a question.. just sharing my product design interview experience. I had the most fascinating design challenge today at Meta. The prompt was to design a web3 based social token economy. I hear people talking about designing a remote, lock or atm and how fb repeats these prompts but boy I was surprised! I really enjoyed it though. Maybe my interviewer and I even found a startup idea today 😆 AMA #design #interviews #ui/ux #meta
Thanks for sharing!! That's a wild one
As long as we are on this topic- what else have people been asked?
I’ve heard about library book rental. My prompt for first interview 2 years back was a bill splitting app for friends
@OP I got the book rental prompt too! Interesting on the bill splitting app one because that’s what the finance team / Novi tries to do now
Just to give some context, this prompt was because I said I’m excited about crypto and spend a lot of time in that space. (During intros on my portfolio review ) It could be different for you based on your background and interviewer
Oh, that makes more sense now because majority of designers have no clue about these topics.
This right here is really good insight! Thanks so much for sharing.
Curious- when you answer, how do you approach it? Talk about ‘how’ you’d go about doing it? Or more about ‘what’ you’d do?
It’s mostly about how we approach the problem. I followed this structure and did a lot of practice using this: - ask questions to clarify prompt - define the true goal for the project (what’s the intent for building a social token economy) - how do we measure if we’re successful - who are the primary and secondary users( shortlist 1/2) - for our users, what’s their context, needs and pain points. - based on those pain points, have a quick ideation - pick 1 idea weighing pros and cons - user flow - quick wireframe
Nice. And was this all during the interview? Or some take home? How long did you have?
Did you bring all of the info from recall? Can’t imagine the interviewer being fluent with web3
Sorry Didn’t get you.. bring what info?
Facts, constraints, limits, direction, context, scope
I wonder if they’re building that themselves and stealing ideas from interviewees
Wouldn’t doubt it.
you think your ideas are that good huh
Hey OP keep us updated - if they don’t move you forward, they might just be out here stealing web3 ideas
Yeah, of course. That's how it works with randomly selected peer designers.
Thanks for sharing
Damn, that sounds so fun. Been designing Web3 dApps for awhile on NFTs and communities you login with your wallets.
So many potential ideas entreps can run with in web3 it’s crazy
Couldn’t agree more!!
Interesting thanks for posting
