I understand the pain but it’s to get other stakeholders in business excited!

Truuuue that 🤣

This is where a function without any affordance requires the user to right-click/long-tap/hover in order to expose this function, while the function cannot be accessed any other way.

The problem is, the user has to feel around the interface and guess where these things are. Half the time, the user doesn’t even know these functions exist. Never assume the user is clairvoyant.

Any zero-affordance function should always have another way in that is accessible through a normal menu or button in plain sight.

It’s the solution that designers have when the clients ask “make it pop” 🤣
I’m joking but you are right OP, accessibility is far more important than fancy or flashy things. It should be considered like that for everyone.
Our job is to educate those clients or people who don’t understand it.

WTH is that even? O.o

Hi!Would like to get some perspectives on the Walmart and Amazon offers that I just received. Slightly more interested in Amazon Fashion's work but it's offered at $80K less than Walmart...
A few questions here:
1) Is the Amazon brand better than Walmart that's worth $80K in TC?
2) Are Strategy roles better perceived than Marketing roles and will have higher long-term pay potential? (I went to business school where almost everybody wants to do Strategy...)
3) Is Amazon culture very concerning?
