| 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 |
