      Pros

      BU is an interesting place to work. Very fulfilling helping students out when they appreciate what you do.

      Cons

      Students often don't appreciate what you do. Lots of politics and backstabbing here. People are always looking for how to better themselves

      RA opportunity for master of Economics student

      Research assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is the place that economic department offers relevant research experience to master economics students on campus. And you can get some payment to compensate your tuition fee.

      Cons

      Though the jobs are offered by IED, in fact, the research assistant job that master students get are to work for PhD students from economics department. All the mentors are PhD students in senior years who want assistant to help their research project or papers. The attractiveness of work varies within mentors. Some get more programming work while others may do very boring data work. The time schedule also varies depending on who is your mentor.

      everyone was very helpful and supportive. Monthly meetings are held to make sure everyone is on the same page which is good.

      Cons

      The environment can become very stressful especially when it is the specific time for people coming to view the university
