Hey thestandingcoin, I'm here because nobody responded to this thread after a few days...maybe one of these resources will help you:
More suggestions...
You're welcome.
I think roles will start opening over the next few weeks but will be interested to hear what others have to say
I see. I thought only banks started hiring now.
You should begin applying for FLDP and other rotational programs now. Many have started to post and some are beginning interviews. You will continue to see more of these type of programs post jobs from now into the fall. Most corporations will review applications as they are submitted so you don't want to wait. If you are directly applying to an FP&A Analyst or other role at a company, you likely won't see applications for 2022 open yet. You might start seeing these in the fall and many well into the Spring. I would apply to rotational programs first over a strictly FP&A role.
Thanks! Do you know where I can find these? I can’t seem to find any on indeed or linked in.
Do I just look at F500 company websites?
Some don't post job postings, they just assume candidates will find them. Like I don't remember seeing Microsoft open but they're already in the middle of recruiting. Searching rotational, leadership development program, LDP, FLDP, 2022, etc on Linkedin or Handshake though is the best place to start. If there is a company or industry you really want to be at then definitely go straight to their website and see if a.) they have a rotational program and b.) when does the application open. They can be competitive so you will probably will want to apply to quite a few depending on your background.
Walmart FDP recruitment should be starting soon. I think interviews for internship and full time hires will happen mid/end September.
Microsoft FRP applications have been open for a few weeks now, superdays have happened and will continue to for the next few weeks
Do you know if they've had superdays for both diversity and non-diversity? I was under the impression that non-diversity interviews only started in the fall.
Not sure, just saw on LinkedIn a recruiter from Microsoft said they started having super days. Program seems to be really strong though comp and WLB wise. Haven’t personally seen any exits internally to Corp dev, but if you’re into FP&A seems like a good option
