[quote=Anonymous]A few friends from grad school work there. We have PhDs from a top ten school. One friend who is a bank employee had a Nobel Laureate as his adviser, and another has rare language skills. Another established himself as an expert in international finance by publishing extensively in that field. Yes, if you graduate from Princeton or MIT, it's considered slightly less prestigious than academia, but for people who don't want to go into academia, ( and there are some of those in every top department) it's considered a top job. When I meet someone who is not an economist who has a WB job, they generally are experts in technical fields (engineering) or finance. It'tougher to get a job as an American, and there isn't as much job security as there used to be. When I worked there in the 80's as a wide eyed research assistant, it was reeaallly bloated, and there were more perks.[/quote]
