I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epsilon Economics (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2024
Interview
Very brief first-round interview that was mostly just reviewing my resume as it applies to the work at Epsilon. After the first-round, they came back to me within a day with a 1-page writing prompt and a second-round interview. In the second-round, I got to go to their office in Chicago and meet 4 different analysts, with each of whom I basically repeated what I had done with HR in the first-round (reviewing my resume, talking about econ consulting broadly). There was one case-type interview which was mostly brainstorming, slightly different from other econ consulting case interviews that are usually more structured.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Please walk me through your resume as it applies to economic consulting
First round behavioral, second round had some case questions but they walk you through it, not much technical information is needed to know but basic understanding of economic concepts is needed
I was asked a case study and then asked standard questions about my resume. There were little behavioral questions. I spoke with several consultants over the course of two hours.
