Interview Details –
The process is quite "dark". The positions are not posted anywhere. I got the interview because a friend worked there and knew somebody in the department, even though I didn't fulfill the requirements.
Typical DC job hunting.
Interview Question – Very Technical interview in general terms. Answer Question
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Jul 13, 2012
Interview Details – Interview was a panel. They asked me how good I am with econometric software. I was getting my PhD while applying, so it was not difficult. They had doubts about whether I will stay for the whole year or not. I already have worked with them earlier, so they did not ask too many skill questions.
Interview Question – What was the most difficult program you have ever wrote. What will keep you motivated in this job? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Usually no salary negotiation. But I negotiated the start date.
