Indermit Gill recently announced he's retiring at the end of August 2026. With the Knowledge Bank reorg and Banga's jobs-focused agenda, who do you think will likely get the role?
Hi, I’m currently working at the bank as an STC, and they told me they’re looking into offering me an ET contract. Roughly what salary should I expect compared to my current daily rate?
My STC position has been turned into a staff position and I am moving to DC next FY. I have never lived in DC and have only the city visited a few times for work.
What neighborhoods do young(ish) professionals often look at when moving? Is there anything about the DC area or World Bank office environment you wish you knew?
GF role, salary slightly below mid-point, in my early 30s and have pets so close to green space would be nice
Hi everyone,
I created a WhatsApp group for people who are planning to apply to the World Bank Young Professionals Program for 2026–2027.
This group is meant for serious applicants who have already done their research and preparation and are looking for a community to connect with, share insights, and potentially exchange information.
Just to be clear, this is not an official group in any way—simply a space for people who are actively working on their applications and would like to engage with others on the same path. Message me if you'd like the link to join!
Hi everyone,
I am trying to understand how World Bank ETC grades work, specifically EC2, and how they relate to regular staff grades such as GA–GH.
For example, if an ETC position is graded EC2, is there any rough equivalent to the staff grading system, such as GD, GE, GF, etc.? And if EC2 is broadly comparable to one of those staff grades, can the candidate expect a similar salary range to the published World Bank staff salary scales for that country, or are ETC compensation ranges usually different?
Hi everyone,
I had a quick question and would appreciate any insight.
I’ve been selected for an International Finance Corporation (IFC) summer internship in Washington, DC, and I’m currently a full-time MBA student. I was wondering if completing an IFC internship typically helps with the Young Professionals Program (YPP) application process, either in terms of selection or overall competitiveness.
Any thoughts or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
