Overview

How I Got Started

In July 2020, I was reached out by Levels.fyi's Co-Founder Zaheer saying he found me on LinkedIn and asking if I was available to provide any design suggestions. By coincidence, one of my friends recommended me Levels.fyi a few months ago for my salary negotiation. My experience with the platform was pleasant. It's such a very unique product.

I gladly scheduled a call with Zaheer. It was a great conversation. I offered feedback as a user and a designer. We discovered many design opportunities. Since I had bandwidth at that time, I decided to pick up some freelance work.

Problem

Zaheer mentioned the biggest challenge at that time was encouraging users to not only browse salary but also submit their salary. The platform runs on salary submissions. The more salary submissions they have, the better value they can provide. Therefore, my first challenge is to improve the salary submission rate.

Zaheer and I communicated via emails and Figma comments. We went through a few iterations and launched the new design in 2 weeks.

Final Deliverables

After a month of implementing the new design, we saw a ~15% large increase in salary submissions. We were all very happy about the results. I demonstrated the value of design, and Zaheer continued working with me on a few other changes. If you are interested to learn more, feel free to reach out to me.
