[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm genuinely curious after reading this. What is it about the World Bank that everyone wants a job there so badly and it is so hard to get a job there?[/quote]

Well, that depends on what you value.  I think the Bank is a great place to work. That said, it has its own ulcers like all other places, but it's still pretty great:
 
 - a conglomerate of genuinely smart, top caliber people who have a well rounded, educated, global outlook, read, publish and are aware of the world around them
 - very diverse and international
 - rich on learning offerings. There is a lecture, workshop, guest speaker, class, etc. every single day, more than one.  It really is a great place to learn stuff for free.
 - even if you are in a nonglamorous role, it's still glamorous on occasion. You may be unimportant, but you're close to important people. I still get a thrill when I walk around the atrium during Annual Meetings - all the people from every corner of the world, the buzz, the thoughts, the events...[/quote]
