2.5 hrs written test covering technical Macro, Micro and Econometrics and General Qs
2 rds of technical interview.

Was told that its very technical, like a verbal applied econometrics exam and they go into details of deconstructing your thesis. The best is cannot smoke because the panels are academia and professional econometricians.

It’s a very technical role anyway.
wonder what they do day-to-day, need these kind interviiew

i only attended a career talk. they are more towards research economics for policy making, so they can be studying causal impacts (metrics and model building) and/or macroeconomic data. under the scheme, they will be seconded to any ministry/SB after the stint at MTI to be their data scientist or economic research officers.

academia are all PhD, they probably a lot cost more to do policy research, and since they are all economist they know the dynamics of the labour markets and outcomes. Nonetheless i recall their economic panels and senior economist roles have a few PhD.

i guess maybe it is for those who wants to do research in economics but don't want to do a PhD? They said a lot of economists move on for masters (not sure sponsored or not) also, and a lot of them inside have some qualifications (ug, pg or phd) from top universities like Oxbridge, LSE, UCL so i imagine it to be quite competitive in there by default, and given the technical rigour of their interviews.

just estimating. haha. i think for fresh grad maybe 2.6 onwards from SIM standards all the way to 4.2 at NUS standards for MX scheme? don't want to overquote here, a lot of fresh grads will think they are entitled to what they read here.

to the fresh grads, please take this with a pinch of salt! meaning if they don't offer you on the stats you read here don't nego too much until you lose the offer.

actually i jus find it hard to believe the gap for fresh grad between private uni and local uni can be so big. i rmb someone told me before the main classifications are local FCH, local 2nd upper, and the rest. what i mean is 2nd lower onwards, the gap between the differnt class may be insignicant.
