Growth Trade Offs and Tensions Questions

Focuses on growth specific tensions and trade offs candidates have navigated, such as user acquisition versus retention, growth velocity versus unit economics, viral loops versus organic brand building, or paid growth versus organic channels. Candidates should describe concrete examples from their work, the metrics and experiments used to evaluate options, how they balanced short term growth and long term health, and how they aligned stakeholders around the chosen approach. This topic evaluates understanding of growth levers, metrics driven decision making, experimentation, trade off reasoning under uncertainty, and communication of trade off rationale.
