Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Federal Reserve Board (Washington, DC) em mar. de 2021
Entrevista
Interviews last a full day, and you get an agenda a few days in advance. I was given a week's notice before my interview. My interview was over webex. First I met with two panels of 3 researchers, each for about an hour. They asked about my interest in the Fed, my past research experience, some behavioral 'describe a time when' type questions, and a few questions about what I would do faced with certain research challenges. It's not a highly technical interview, but you should be able to describe your past major research projects in detail, specifically a senior thesis if you had one. After those first interviews, the rest of the day is mostly to help you learn what each section does so that you can rank your preferences at the end of the day. You will have panel interviews with different sections and hear about what they do. They may ask you follow up questions from the initial panel interview, but for the most part that time is for you to learn.

Two interviews each had 2-3 different economists from different teams. Interview lasted 1-2 hours each, Questions ranged from behavioral to technical (mostly econometrics and data related). I had a couple of research projects I worked on in undergrad and they asked quite a bit about them and my future interests.

Very relaxed - be yourself and convey your enthusiasm for the role. You don't need to be certain on a PhD and you should not force yourself to say you are if you are not. Be open to analytical roles and all projects and that answer will reveal itself.
