Airbnb takes 3% commission from hosts and around 6 to 12% from guests. Now, I believe payment collection experience is related to the host so they can visualize everything around their payments. Reason for designing this experience - to provide a better collection experience for hosts Marke"

  • "I explained about a project that was technically very challenging and had tight deadline. We were working on a new technology with new team members but delay was not an option. When we hit a road block due to lack of knowledge on Content Management System and Database, we came up with an idea of hard coded JSON data to help continue building the front end and user experience while team is figuring out to unblock the CMS and DB blocker. That way we would still move forward and show progress in IT"
