Research Assistant at IMF

No Offer – Interviewed in Washington, DC Jul 2012 – Reviewed Jan 28, 2013

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

Research Assistant at IMF

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.
