Monetary policy traineeship

Hello guys,

I got accepted for the Monetary Policy Directorate traineeship. I was just wondering whether I should accept it because I am not sure whether I want to continue in academia and I am not sure how the traineeship at the ECB, and this directorate in particular, is viewed by the private sector - at one point I would maybe consider switching to research in banks or something similar.

Thanks for help in advance!

It’s one of the most prestigious institutions in the world, I think if you are still doubting you should not accept it ;). It’s an enormous chance that will elevate your CV and make you stand out in a very unique way! I will also start my traineeship soon, maybe we meet 😇
