Best Entry Level Corporate Finance Jobs For Target Student

I am a rising senior at target school, and I am interested in doing corporate finance at a f100 company after graduating

Are there any good programs for entry level? I am trying to find the best programs or positions in silicon valley and nyc.

Most positions at these big companies require prior experience

any specific companies that have good programs? i feel like you need experience to do FP&A or corp dev. im talking straight out of college

 

I would advise doing your research. There are a decent amount of entry-level FP&A roles at F500s. What is more important is understanding the differences between FP&A roles as not all of them are created equally. Again, there should be more than enough information out there for you to look at.

You're correct that corp dev tends to be harder to get as an undergrad. They typically look for people with an IB profile. UnitedHealth Group has a solid pipeline for undergrads if you come from a semi-target or target school.

This link has a decent amount of FLDPs. Good FLDPs? GE, Apple, Microsoft, Dell, J&J, Raytheon Technologies. Plenty more are good too.
