Hi,
I'm curious about what exactly GE FMP and other finance rotational kids do day-to-day or if anyone can just explain what the work entails? I know that they typically change job functions every 6 months or so, but what are the different rotations called and what do they involve? I've tried looking on GE's website, but it's very vague, so if someone can help out, that'll be great!
Thanks!

Can't speak to GE's FMP
Can't speak to GE's FMP specifically, but from my experience in a similar program, it's just like having a regular job in finance, but you know you're moving on every 6 months. The rotations can include FP&A, general accounting, financial reporting, operations finance, business development, tax, etc...
If you have specific questions you can ask here and I will do my best to answer them.

I guess I'm most curious about FP&A. I was wondering what the work involves, what you like/dislike about it, etc.
Thanks for the help!

He was an accounting major, and this is for the southeast asia hq, so YMMV.
