I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Apr 2026
Interview
A little over an hour long with one interviewer. There were a lot of questions, but nothing too unexpected. I responded to the interview request email asking if there was anything I should review or prepare, and got a short list of topics that would be covered!
I interviewed at Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Interview
A blend of behavioral and technical questions -- great that the interview was directly with the intern mentor and made the process feel very safe and conversational! Highly recommend applying if you're interested in think tank work and policy research
I interviewed at Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (Washington, DC)
Interview
The process seemed fair, transparent and pleasant enough. There were three rounds of interviews and an editing exercise, which I thought was excessive considering the fact that it was a fairly junior position
