What does the CV need to be at places such as UCSD, Minnesota, Michigan, Brown, and Cornell?
What kind of CV would US top 20-25 make a senior offer to?

Suppose it was someone who would be hired on the spot by the very best Feds. Same standards?
Academic jobs at the senior level are much tougher to get than Fed jobs because senior job openings are very rare. For example, most people hired on the spot by the NY Fed would have trouble landing a senior job at a top 25 (unless they have the right diversity).

My experience with the macro senior market is that almost everyone, candidates and departments, is punching above their weight. People (looking at CVs of incumbents) think they should be hired in places that would not hire them -- because they instead dream of candidates they would never get. Everybody overestimates their appeal. Seems like a very inefficient way of doing things and in this profession especially we should be able to achieve better equilibria.

Funny that these departments try to hire people with CVs double than their full professors
Rochester and Maryland have recently made offers to CVs with 1 top 5 and multiple top fields (10 years out) or 2 top 5s and 10 top fields (20 years out). Generally, need some top publications, be well known for at least one thing, and clear indication that you very easily produce at the JME/AEJ/RED level and get in the top conferences.
