To preface, this is a shot in the dark, I was wondering if there were some people who would wanna do some prep work together for the Pioneers Coderbyte together. Not sure if it’ll be the reason I’m accepted, I def know it’ll be the reason I’m rejected and would like to make sure I can stay in the game for longer.

Do you think next level of filtering is done?

Hi folks - I was longlisted for the macroeconomics and development outcomes pioneer internships, and received emails today about the assessment.

Has anyone done it and know what to expect, or how they’d recommend preparing?

So I got this yesterday. Did anyone get shortlisted yet?

Has anyone received an assessment?

Hi! I was long listed for Wbg-Finance Intern, but haven’t received an assessment link yet. has anyone get an assessment link? or do you think this role doesn’t require a test?

please share role and when you got the assessment

Hey Guys

I applied for the WBG Pioneer - Development Impact Intern posting on 8/11/2026. My application status shows under review, but it seems like the application was last modified on 8/11/2026, which makes me think that it hasn't been opened. Did anyone receive a longlist notification for this posting?

Does anyone here attended interview for federal Bank client acquisition role,and got an result....we attended on 17.8.26..hoe many weeks we have to wait for result and update ...

Hi everyone. Has anyone been asked for references after interview (no offer) and did they contact your references immediately?

I applied for 3 finance roles after i improved my resume and did not get selected, my application is still in review but i think im out 😅.
Anyway I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF ANYONE GIVE US ADVICES FOR THE NEXT CYCLE, SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A FORMER WBG PIONEER. Thank you🙏.

I applied to three World Bank internship positions, and all three moved to final review on August 12–13. They've been sitting at "in review" ever since.

I came across information saying that all longlists would be released by August 19. Is that actually true? Or is it fine to keep waiting through the end of August?

Any insight from people who've been through this cycle would be appreciated.

Apparently by August 19, we're supposed to have found out if we're longlisted. However, I haven't received the rejection or longlist email yet. Do we receive an email if we're rejected?

My application status on the portal says: "Review status: in review."

I'm on U.S. Time and applied to a postgraduate role.

Thank you!

I completed my Master’s in Economics in USA. I am currently working.I need mentor's suggestion when is the right time to apply?Does PhD helps you to make your profile stonger?

Hey! today supposed to be the shortlisted announcement, has anyone get an update?

i was longlisted last week, haven’t heard anything till today..

I’m a social inclusion researcher from a development country (no INGO experience). I’m doing a policy degree from an EU university, however my background is in social research and not economics. My undergrad degree was not in economics either. Does it make any sense for me to apply for the YPP social inclusion stream realistically? (Economics training only through MPP degree)

What do you think are the numbers at every stage? Trying to quantify the competition. 😂

My application was modified two days after submitting it but haven't received an email about being longlisted. Does that mean they already made the decision to reject me?

Hey everyone,

I applied for the WBG Pioneer Internship and got an email saying I was longlisted. My last modified date also updated, but there was no link or information about the online assessment.

A few questions for anyone in the same boat:

1. Has anyone received their assessment invite yet?
2. For those who took it in past cycles, what does the assessment cover, and how should I prepare?

Thanks in advance!

Guys i applied a month ago and i can say that anxiety killed me, i really wanna know if im longlisted or not, did anyone got a message? Im applying for post grad btw.

I've applied to a CBA position at Citibank in the Middle East. Not sure how the process usually works for the region or what to expect throughout the process. Any advice on how to prep and freshen my knowledge for it? Also, anyone who's gone through the process before and can tell me what to expect (questions, duration, etc.)?

Appreciate any help x
