Industry: Information Services, Research and Consulting | Currently working as an Economist at the EIU
My interview was conducted by two panelists; I guess one was an alum and the other one was a Professor of Economics
Q1: Walk us through your career trajectory.
A: Talked about my economics education, work experience, job roles and that currently I am working as an Economist at the EIU
Q2-6: Profile-cased questions; Econometrics and Work Experience. What is Omitted Variable Bias?
Q3: If you have a high R2, but insignificant t-values for independent variables, what does this signify?
Q4: How do you build an econometric model? What's the process that you undertake?
Q5: The Indian economy is in a slump whereas stock markets are rising. What do you have to say, being an economist?
Q6: Have you read Poor Economics? Do you agree/ disagree with the theory?
Q7: Do you think there is corruption and moral compromises in politics? How was your experience working for the state government?
Ans: I was able to answer the questions confidently because I had revised basic and advance economics concepts, thoroughly reviewed my resume and thought through some examples of the projects for talking points.
Q8-9:Standard Questions: Why MBA? What are your aspirations and goals post-MBA? Do you know of companies that hire for such roles?
Personal Comments: IIM Cal's interview was quite conversational. Panelists were ken to hear my opinions and story. Do revise some concepts is you are working in a technical role. Secondly, it is always better to relate the questions to your life projects, experiences, and work. I was able to do that for this interview and I really feel that worked in my favour. People tend to remember stories rather than standard responses.
