I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC) in Mar 2023
Interview
It was remote interview for a research analyst STC position. The TTL asked me my thoughts on his research topic, which is also the direction I want to take for my dissertation. I got the job at the end of the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Introduce yourself; any questions for me; some technical questions about the research topic
One round of interview. Go over your resume. Several BQs. And asking you coding / technical skills. Writing/Coding sample after the interview. Straightforward and chill. Much better than rounds of back and forth interviews in the private sector
The first round was a panel with 4 different people from the unit. The second round is with the hiring manager. Communication was clear. Some hard questions, some easy expected questions.

Question 1
If you were in an elevator with the Bank's President, how would you pitch him to give our unit more funding?
I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC)
Interview
Pretty standard-behavioral & technical. Depends on the role you’re applying for so know the technicalities of it. I applied for a social protection role that involves use of ai for research- so the knowledge of using ai and of the subject matter was helpful.

Question 1
Depends on the role you applied for but “walk us through the process of how you would …”
