| Higher School of Economics | Docent (assistant professor) | $5K/month, could ask for more but was too depressed | 4 | There is no way to reschedule the interview, and the whole process seems very much disorganized, but this is because they need to synchronize with international advisory committee. | 5 | Great students, ok money for Moscow (or Europe), there are people to discuss research. | 09/19/13 |
| HM Treasury | Assistant Economist (Bsc/Msc) | £28,000 | 3 | The Faststream process is very long with successive rounds spread over several months. This is annoying for someone just graduating from University and trying to juggle several job offers. Further, you do not apply to the Government Department but the Government Economic Service as a whole which means you won't necessarily get offered a job in a department you want to work in but you will be encouraged to transfer there after approximately 2 years. The government internal market for transferring to your next role does not seem very transparent or competitive and feels like a dice roll. | 4 | 0 | 07/25/13 |
