Thanks for the wonderful article. I assume many of the claims in the article (e.g., ‘actions suggested in getting a degree in EA, helping to get into CE’) are based on some hiring round that you did some data analysis on and concluded. Do you have a link to such an analysis? Or is it just based on the 15 people who joined the incubation program the last time? (in which case I would think you wrote from your experience what these 15 people had done to get into CE)
You suggest in “possible actions section” that doing courses like the ones by J-PAL could be very useful. I was considering doing them, but when I did a quick check on LinkedIn I didn’t quite find anyone who has done these courses currently in your incubation program. Can you please let me know based on what you are suggesting these particular courses as a good initiative to get into CE?
In CE we give people a lot of points for listing an online course on their applications.
Does this apply to any online course (e.g., Data Science Specialization by Coursera) ? How many points are we talking about (5%, 20%, or...)
Is this only about getting as far as the interview?
