Anfisa: 本期节目的主题是如何从初级设计师晋升到中级设计师,这是一个许多听众都会遇到的问题。Anfisa本人从未担任过初级或中级设计师,她的观点基于对职业发展的想象和推测。她建议听众参考一些公开的职业阶梯,例如Intercom和Progression.fyi网站上的资料,来了解不同公司对不同级别设计师的期望和要求。 Ioana: Ioana分享了她自己从初级设计师到高级设计师的职业发展历程。她认为初级设计师主要体现在三个方面:利益相关者管理、自主性以及系统性思维。初级设计师需要更多指导和帮助,更关注微观决策,缺乏全局观,而高级设计师则更自主,更能独立解决问题,具备系统性思维,能够将设计决策与业务目标联系起来。她还提到,初级设计师容易出现冒名顶替综合征,缺乏自信,容易被动接受任务,而高级设计师则更自信,更主动,能够更好地管理利益相关者,并改进工作流程。 Anfisa: Anfisa总结了几个判断自己是否准备好晋升到中级设计师的标志:能够更好地进行用户研究,并有效地将研究结果转化为解决方案;能够主动思考并影响产品路线图,而不是被动等待任务分配;能够挑战并改进工作流程,例如改进设计系统;能够帮助他人,并给予建设性的反馈;能够理解并阐明其工作的目标,并将其与公司战略联系起来;能够主动与上司沟通,争取晋升,并准备好充分的证据来证明自己的能力;能够在团队中起到榜样作用,通过分享经验和方法来提升团队整体水平。 Ioana: Ioana补充说,如果公司没有主动提供晋升机会,设计师应该主动争取。她分享了自己早期职业生涯中等待晋升却未果的经历,强调主动争取晋升的重要性。她建议设计师收集证据,例如同事的评价、工作成果、数据指标等,来证明自己的能力。如果在现有公司无法获得晋升机会,可以考虑寻求其他机会。
