Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Balance Conversion and Retention. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.
You're working on a consumer subscription product, and the team is considering a change that could lift near-term signups or checkout completion but might hurt the user experience after purchase. Leadership wants a clear point of view on how to make this kind of decision when short-term growth metrics and long-term customer value do not move in the same direction.
How would you balance short-term conversion gains against long-term retention when making a product decision?
