Imf EP 2019

not just harvard, even MRMs, some LRMs pay as much as IMF (considering the lower cost of living)
In the US, Singapore, HK, etc., maybe. But certainly not in Europe. A young AP professor in Bonn, Oxford or Paris makes no more than 3k a month.
Also, getting an AP tenure track position from a MRM place is quite challenging. And the IMF has no tenure clock and permanent contract after three years, which is certainly an advantage.On the job market next year and browsing through the threads.
So what's the downside of an IMF job? Getting a position at an MRM is considered a super star in my department but from the talks here, IMF is even better than an MRM?
What's the catch?

What's the catch?The catch is that IMF is pretty hard to get too.

What's the catch?You don't do research

Maybe, but I can't believe that it's harder than say a top 100, probably a different skill set.
But the benefits are brilliant.

IMF is crap and all decisions are taken by semi-retarded politicians like Lagarde.
You are pretty stupid if you think that the IMF managing director is taking the big decisions. The board (representatives of each member country, weighted by their quota contribution) decides, not the MD. So if the US and the Europeans - who represent more than 50% of the quota - decide something, then IMF just do it.
Even if it means the Greek program that IMF staff strongly opposed initially (cf the 2014 IEO report)...

The benefits are about to be severely cut. So if you didn't make it to the Fund yet, you may want to reconsider...
Bump...is this true?
Under discussion. The staff is fighting hard but the US and few European countries are pressuring hard for cuts. Not clear how it will play out, some advantages may be cut (for instance children tuition fees covered up to the age 24) but some others might be preserved (the generous pension system)
-
Is this only for new hires in the future or existing employees too?

It’s very likely going to affect every staff member. Besides, Kristalina Georgieva has been notorious for carrying out benefit cut across the 19th street.

Would it be like reducing salary growth as in WB last year or eliminating some benefits?
