Hi! I like the concept and am interested in poking around at your data.
During the signup flow, I'm glad to see that the "gender" page is polite enough to offer a "prefer not to answer" option. It'd be nice if the "education" form which follows did the same. A "no degree" option might also be worthwhile. As it's currently implemented, the site appears to believe that every career begins at college graduation; that may be the most common path, but it's certainly not the only one.
[edit: after further exploration, this "education" form turns out to be so strict it's kind of funny. I can't get past it by filling in bogus data, since it seems to be trying to validate everything, but whatever lookups it's doing aren't returning any data, likely because it's never heard of the school I went to. It won't accept blank fields, but neither will it let me put anything into them, so I don't think I can try out your site after all.]
- pezking22 10y agogreat comment, thanks! we are building an on-boarding wizard (similar to Wealthfront, which does an excellent job with guiding people through the somewhat complex signup process) - we can implement some options based on your comments. Love it! Keep it coming!
- pezking22 10y ago@your edit - one of the main value props of the site (vs. a Glassdoor or Payscale) is that you can personalize the data based on things like your education...so we're a little strict on capturing that data in a standardized way. You can definitely create a new school - just type it in, and if there's nothing in our database yet, you'll get a little button prompting you to create it.
- marssaxman 10y agoAha! I missed that bit. Thanks, I'm into the actual site now.
