GES Assistant Economist Scheme 2025

Yes I belive all bar the Treasury have London weighting and it's about £3-5k depending on department

So I have I!

Hi, I got my salary amount today and it includes london weighting

That's interesting lol since Treasury is seen as the most "prestigious" department in the government for economists

Same! Can we make a group?

surely this is a joke how long they are leaving to tell us our departments! how do they ever expect people to potentially relocate & find accommodation in the next few weeks. i was told i would hear by end of july - guess that means there must be something tomorrow?

What do these scores actually mean? What was the pass mark?
* Knowledge of Economics Average: 5
* Application of Economics Average: 5
* Communication to an Economist Average: 5
* Making Effective Decisions: 5
* Delivering at Pace: 6
* Working Together: 7
* Strengths Average: 3.75

Hi, when did you get these I have asked recently

Have any of you turned down the jobs? If so have people on the waitlist heard back? I am now pursuing different jobs but still keep my eye on here and emails to try and see if anything changes

Anyone allocated to the department for education?

Yup!

have u heard from your line manager yet? wondering how long it’d take for us to find out the location

Hi, I got DfE and have only received correspondence from the head of the department last week - nothing from my manager or regarding a contract yet. They asked me to submit my preferences around location etc., which I did, but haven’t heard anything since

Same here
