Hiring a Growth Hacker  Top 8 Interview Questions
What does a growth hacker do on a daily basis?  Make sure your goals are aligned

Main focus for startup that just got MVP up  If they don't mention PMF, tell them to GTFO
How would you measure the success of the growth team?  Asking people to define success is always tricky.
Do you blog about growth? Why not?  If yes, make them tell you more. If no, tell them to leave
