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!
