1. A count like “total number of likes”
2. An average like “average number of likes per person”
3. A percentage/ratio “% of users who like”?

Honestly, not sure if I did not understand the question or is it simply a very badly formed and lazy question.

All of those are measuring completely different things.

If you want to look at penetration / reach of a feature, you use “%age of users who did X”.

If you want to look at how many times an action is performed by a user in a particular segment in a given time period, then use “avg number of likes per person”.

Those could be Engagement metrics.

Thanks for your response. I should’ve been clearer. I meant “what is the difference between a count, average and a percentage metric”. What do each type of metric communicate? For example, average metrics can communicate a trend maybe?

I found an article online that tries to help us understand better:

Currently a manager for an OP clinic. Gave my notice after receiving an offer back in patient care for more money and a better schedule. Spoke to my RVP today who had nothing but positive feedback. He asked for feedback on how to prep the next non-clinical manager as others in the region have been fired or underperformed. Should I be insulted he did not offer me a raise? Wondering if I should use this an opportunity to negotiate or run as I have been feeling undervalued?

I love my job and the company that I've been working on for a year. My boss is great and the culture is very product focused. There's been tremendous learning for which I'm very grateful.
The only sticking point is that my compensation increase this year was 4% which isn't ideal since inflation has been so high it feels like a pay cut. I know I should change my job and to get ahead of the market. But it sucks to change jobs where I've enjoyed working so much and getting to learn a lot too.

I have a PO who does the day to day work with the devs, but otherwise it’s just me. I’ve been a PM for 15 years and never felt so understaffed.

Our company went through an exercise of redefining product roles - from business analyst, product owner, product manager to assoc pm, pm, senior pm etc.
The concept is everyone with same skills - with different competency levels.
