Landed rotational finance program from non-target school
I recently interned with a large multinational electric component corporation during undergrad and have been able to land a job at their Finance Advanced Development Program, or FADP. It is a 3 year program, in 3 different areas of finance (corporate finance, solutions finance, global supply chain finance etc..). My undergrad degree is in financial planning and needless to say It does not look like i am going into this profession. My question for the forum (im sure something like this has been asked before) is what to expect from this kind of program and what knowledge is going to be most important for me to transfer to my career coming from an education in applied investments and international financial markets? Also, how attractive does the completion of a program like this look to top business schools? Searching the internet, its pretty difficult to find job descriptions and career paths of corporate financial analysts as i guess the "official" financial analyst is one who is involved in securities and investment research. Many of my professors are not familiar with these types of programs and only seem to be impressed at students who go into financial advisor starting positions, and I really was interested in going into market research and investments but am very grateful to even have this type of opportunity!
Congratulations, solid offer. As for your questions:
What to expect? Budgeting, forecasting, month end close. Its basic strategy, if you want to put it in a sexy manner, but not exactly rocket surgery.
B-schools love finance rotational programs, so you'll be in a good place when you finish the program and come out a senior analyst.
Worst case, leverage this experience to get in a top business school, then you can go into your "investments and market research" field.
