Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Associates (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2026

Interview

30 minutes interview with two senior level economists. After a short introduction, the rest of the interview was about my job market paper. I told them about my paper, they asked questions where one could tell they had skimmed through my paper. Around minute 25 I wrapped up and they asked me if I had any questions for them.
