Wide open question and I think that's kind of the point.
Start by demonstrating deep understanding of Discord's mission, users, and business model. Then, identify a specific user segment and pain point, and propose a feature or improvement that aligns with Discord's strategic goals. Finally, outline how you would measure success and prioritize this initiative against other opportunities.
Pro tip: Show that you understand Discord's unique culture and community-driven nature by referencing specific features or user behaviors. Avoid generic suggestions like 'improve search' without tying them to a clear user need and business impact.
Briefly restate Discord's mission to create belonging and its core user segments (e.g., friend groups, communities, creators). Highlight key metrics like DAU, engagement, and revenue streams.
Choose a specific user segment and pain point (e.g., community discovery, creator monetization, onboarding for new users). Explain why this is important now, using data or trends if possible.
Describe your improvement idea in detail, focusing on user value and how it fits Discord's product ecosystem. Consider feasibility, potential risks, and how it differentiates from competitors.
Outline how you would measure the impact of your proposal, including key performance indicators (e.g., retention, engagement, revenue) and potential guardrail metrics.
Explain how you would prioritize this initiative against other opportunities, using a framework like RICE or impact/effort. Discuss potential trade-offs and dependencies.
