@gerdadesign I've thought about swapping the "day-to-day" section there as it was fairly generic with this "first 3 months" one. These are likely stuff they'll continue doing across their journey but not necessarily everything will pop up in this initial period. Might need to iterate further ⎯ but let me know!

Thanks for this! I'm wondering if we should break it up further and show a ramp up. Currently, this is reading to me as "you will learn everything you need to do in the first 3 months." My suggestion is below, but I do still think there are some parts in there to iron out a bit more. Would love your thoughts on the next iteration!

What you'll do in your first month

  • Learn about MUI's products, business, goals, and how users experience the MUI ecosystem
  • Understand how your role fits in to the organization and get acquainted with team members and processes

What you'll do in your first 3 months

  • Collaborate with engineers & product managers around defining users, goals, constraints, and tradeoffs
  • Understand component library patterns to improve existing components' UX and UI
  • Update demos and clarify writing in our documentation
  • Conduct one-on-one user interviews with community members
  • Collaborate with the design team in presenting work and giving feedback in design critiques

What you'll do in your first 6 months

  • Design a new component for one of the MUI Core libraries from scratch in partnership with a developer
  • Make changes to the code yourself
  • Design new templates for either Joy UI or Material UI and also support their implementation
  • Review new Figma Design kit versions and coordinate their next release

What you'll do in your first year

  • Proactively identify and advocate for improvements in the user experience or visuals for the component library systems
  • Analyze and report on results of user testing and quantitative data
  • Educate team members on design processes and values to foster the design culture at MUI

Just pushed a new iteration consuming a lot from your thinking, @gerdadesign, really appreciate the push! Also tried to, sort of, add some more concrete stuff along these open-ended bullets (as per @oliviertassinari's suggestion). I do want to strike a balance between concreteness and abstractness as there is defined stuff up to a certain level and not to feel like it's too heavily scripted already (especially for a Senior person).

Thanks for the updates! Just some small wording changes at this point.
