What's the Discord HQ like? // office tour + meet the team!

check out Clockwise to boost your productivity! ➡ bit.ly/3vrdACJ
the discord HQ finally re-opened & i’m taking you there with me! on this work trip, i flew up to the SF office for 3 days and boy was it hard getting up to get ready, put my face on, and commute. can’t sleep in anymore 😵‍💫
it’s now been 7 months since i’ve joined Discord and it’s hands-down my favorite place i’ve ever worked at. i’m the PM for the communities engagement team (working on forums). we’ve been in such heads-down mode for the last couple months, so i’ve been itching to just have some quality face-to-face time with the team. i’ve also been rather lonely here in LA, but i think i got my healthy dose after this trip :)
even after all of this, i think i still prefer remote work but be able to fly in every now and then. I just love my home way too much o_o. hbu? what are your thoughts on remote vs back-to-office?
outside of my professional life as a PM, this vlog might be my greatest masterpiece thus far. just seeing my old videos, i’ve come so far as a video creative. it’s been such a meaningful journey, so thank u for being in the chlommunity and motivating me to keep going!! 😭😭
for my next video, i have a very special thing to share. big hint - it start with a “t” and rhymes with "stitch". 😂 stay tuned for that!
with love,
chlo ♡

check out Clockwise to boost your productivity!➡bit.ly/3vrdACJ i don't normally say this, but I also just want to give a huge shout-out to Clockwise for being an incredible company, product, and sponsor to work with. because of how easily and seamless the process was with them (and how awesome their team was), i was able to put a lot of energy into creating this vlog. the month was may was insane for me. I went to 3 wedding/engagement events, flew to SF twice for two weeks, and juggled my quarterly business review at work while being on top on content. super demanding month! hope you all show them some love! i also am so so sooo happy to have you here with me in my creative journey. hope you've seen me grow a lot over the last year! 😊

[@ishaanmishra6143]

Wesley Chan is an icon of 2010s OG AAPI KZbinrs and it's pretty awesome that you ran into him. Wong Fu really set the stage for so many creators to do what they do now!

[@chloeshih]

He honestly really is! And he was incredibly kind and down to earth when I met him. Definitely look up to him and his work!

[@DoJoStan]

It's not even the office that makes me jealous, its more-so the co-workers. Everyone of them seems to nice and passionate about what they do. Hope to apply soon once more intermediate openings open up!

[@chloeshih]

haha yeah the people always make the office way more fun. i would not wanna go to the office is my coworkers weren't there!

[@p0is0n49]

there is no way that you guys make 50/hour and its like this

[@getclockwise]

[@shirifitzgerald5009]

I just did the same thing and took a work trip to visit my team in-office. I enjoyed it, but I agree with you, I still prefer work from home.

[@WenjinxD]

I honestly can't wait to visit the office one day! This is giving me envy. Haha

[@chloeshih]

yeeee!! there's lots of fun tech offices everywhere! i think i'll do a twitch office tour for the next video! :D

[@hongfuli6440]

Cool Chloe :) Seems the working in Discord better for u

[@chloeshih]

[@jetx2599]

Crazy to see how chill everyone was and a year later 20% staff get laid off :/

[@seths1997]

thanks for the lovely office tour. looks like you had fun 🙂 where are those sushi 🍣places you went to? would be nice to try it when i'm there

[@chloeshih]

i think it's called live sushi bar?

[@seths1997]

@@chloeshih ahh found it...thanks. I'll be near the Moscone center so not too far to walk.

[@MB-tz7by]

Interested in PM but I wonder if it's more of a role suited for extroverts since you're meeting people all the time and talking/planning things. Sounds like PMs barely have time to breathe during the day

[@chloeshih]

ah yes this is an interesting topic. there are lots of introverted PMs. you do have a good number of meetings, but that's kind of par for the course. what you absolutely do need as a PM is good critical thinking skills and ability to articulate your thought process through complex systems. so i don't think it's about extrovertedness vs introvertedness.

I absolutely love that anime. lol

[@chloeshih]

it is a classic!

[@huaweihonor7714]

Hello. Wich online course or study resource would recommend for PM ? Do you think is it necessary strong technical programming skills? Kind regards,

[@a_thaps]

in past life - lol - i lol-ed for real!

[@chloeshih]

lol yes I wasn’t always this way hahah

[@Mostofmarie]

How often do you have engineer 1:1s? I don’t usually see PMs do that.

[@chloeshih]

good question! i actually dont have 1:1s with eng that often - only with my tech lead and EM. otherwise, that would be a LOT of meetings for me to handle. I mostly met with them in this trip since we have so little in-person time. good for bonding!

[@kimbo5030]

Wesley in the Acronym jacket 👀

[@chloeshih]

wow i had to look that up. so trendyyyy

[@ch6201]

why is voice so cutee

[@chloeshih]

haha aww thank you!

[@nicolefashton]

So are you moving or just commuting?

[@chloeshih]

i'm staying in LA! so will just fly back in every now and then :)

[@Aripoma]

What happens during your one on one with your engineers

[@chloeshih]

mostly getting to know each other tbh and asking how i can be a better PM for them. :)

I love Animeeeeee. Currently watching seven deadly sins 🎉

[@chloeshih]

I LOVE ANIME TOOO!~~ currently watching spy x family

Why do I actually want to work there

[@favour_benson]

Hi Chloe. I'd like you to share, if you don't mind, the apps you use either on your mobile device or PC for staying organized. It's something that's really important for me to know. Thank you so dearly!

[@favour_benson]

If you can do a video on it, that would be a double delight!

[@favour_benson]

I wanted to download Notion but saw a negative review about the glitches on the mobile app. And that made me change my mind. Just thought to mention this.

[@jayce908]

3:11 what is that background I have been trying to find it and I can’t

[@chloeshih]

oh that's just for employees - sorry about that!

[@ColorfulKeys]

Hey Chloe, did you need to ask for permission to film in the office? That's a cool vlog!

[@chloeshih]

actually i was at the office last year, and we weren't allowed to film at the office. now we're open, so it's good! i mostly showed places that were pretty photo friendly. i definitely respect the privacy of my coworkers and the office space and i always ask. :)

[@8ctrl763]

I want to work at Discord, so bad!! one day I will

[@alexl9811]

Random question, but where are your socks from ? Haha

[@chloeshih]

hmmm i think adidas?

I want a huge wumpus floating in my room as well :c make them buyable!

[@chloeshih]

Haha I think you can get the plushies on the merch store!

Can you work remotely at Discord? And, if you take that option to work remotely, is that frowned upon?
