So, you're thinking of becoming a full-time, professional economist. No matter where you want to be an economist (tech company, university, government) you almost certainly need to prepare to brave the economics job market. There are many guides on how to successfully navigate the logistics of the job market-- timeline, how to interview, what to wear, what exactly is JOE--but how do you get through it with your mental health intact? That's where our guide might be helpful.
We are Chase Eck, Kelli Marquardt, and Dana Shaat. We were on the 2020-2021 first-fully-remote-pandemic-job market. Even though our job market was entirely virtual, we learned many lessons (and read many online guides) that we wanted to share in case they are helpful to you.
