The interview process was great. There were two rounds. The first round was like quick questions, but the interviewers were friendly. The last round had 5 interviews and included a case study. I felt I did really well and expected to get the job, but it didn't work out.

Behavioral Technical

So I had this interview and it started with some basic behavioral questions, like asking about why I chose Brattle, why I'm interested in econ consulting, and specifically why the metrics practice. After that, we went over my econometrics class project. Some of the other behavioral questions were kinda tricky.

Behavioral

I had a 30-minute behavioral interview with a senior HR person, which went well and I thought I'd move on. But then, a week before my final round, they told me they'd already filled their open positions. This happened after I had already booked my flight and hotel, which was super disappointing and discouraging.
