Corporate Finance with PG&E

Hello all,

I received an offer to be an entry level FA role with PG&E a F200 utility/energy company in San Francisco, starting after I graduate. The position will rotate me on different teams in the finance department until I'm assigned to one. I have a few questions that I hope you guys can answer. If you google the PG&E finance department overview page it will explain everything, the forum won't allow me to post the link.

1. Which area will promote the fastest to climb the corporate ladder?
2. Which area pays the best?
3. How much salary should I negotiate for?
4. Does anybody know any websites or manuals I can use to master Excel before I start the job?
5. Can I switch to a tech corporation once I reach SFA or am I stuck in utility/energy forever?
