I have been at a company for 2 years. We measure a metric each quarter. For that particular metric should I average it out and mention it on my resume or should I spell it out separately for each quarter?
I'm confused: Does your team only have 1 metric that it measures itself up against overall and that's the only metric you have? You generally wouldn't put that on your resume.
So in general, this is how things work when teams have metrics:
#3 is the important one when it comes to what you put on a resume. You want to talk about individual projects and the impact they had, especially as senior engineers don't tend to own the entire goal on a team (that's usually reserved for Staff+).
As a very simple example, let's see you work on a growth & activation team. One of the core components these types of teams own is the onboarding flow. So let's say this happens:
On top of being able to claim that you worked on a project that contributed the lion's share of the goal for perf review/promotion, you can put something like "Added Google One Tap login to boost website sign-ups by 2%" or something. If you work on a major website that does 10 million sign-ups per year, you can also convert it into a number: "Added Google One Tap login to boost web sign-ups by 200,000+ annually".
