Background: I am a couple of years out of school. I went to a T30 university and have worked in an operations role at a large bank up to this point during the pandemic. I have been interviewing around for a while now, and have been hoping to land in a Corp. Finance role. I have 2 offers at the...

Hi all - I'm an FP&A intern at a media & entertainment company and after reviewing all of my options (junior, non-target, wealth management & corp fin internships), I've decided I'm pretty much dead set on starting in an FLDP/FRP. After reading up on this site, it seems the best ones are at large...

Hi everyone, weighing some thoughts out in terms of career planning and looking for some input. Currently in year 2 of a 3 year F500 FLDP in a project finance role with prior experience in an accounting role. The goal for the third rotation is to land a corporate/sector FP&A role to make a clean...

Hi guys, I'm currently an analyst at a BB in the US. I am still undecided about my long term career route and would like to learn more about the different roles / divisions in corporations, businesses etc. To be frank I got funneled into IB really young so I don't know much about corporate careers....

Hi All, I have been seeing some great activity on here regarding undergrad LDPs and it's great to see. However, I haven't seen too much recently on graduate/MBA level LDPs and FLDPs. I saw a question back in 2013 on what was out there, but my question is more so the reputation and compensation of...

Next summer I'll start my 3rd and final FLDP rotation at an A&D company. Here is the rub: I'm becoming more and more disenchanted with this company and industry. There are many reasons, but the main one is that there is no culture of promoting young talent. Almost all managers are mid thirties or...

Anyone hear back yet from J & J on 2022 MBA FLDP full time program? Or does anyone know the timeline of the hiring process or how many candidates they take? TIA
09 Jun 2021
Let me first begin by saying that for most of my time in college, getting into a FLDP at a F500 firm has been my goal. I am very intrigued by the exciting, fast-paced life and lucrative pay of the IB world, but the 80-100hr work weeks and the fact that the company doesn't "make something" simply...

Hello All Background: I graduated from a non-target in 2016 (3.4 GPA, club leaderships, 3 non-relevant financial analyst internships) and did 1 year of FP&A at a small manufacturing firm. I eventually networked my way into a top F100 FLDP program last year for class of 2017-2019. I am currently...

Currently in a FLDP at a top tech firm. Curious about how it translates to MBA placements - is it possible to go to a top MBA program from corporate finance at a tech firm? Or would I have to try and switch to corp dev for a few years before applying to MBA, to increase my chances? I've read that it...

I currently have offers from a Fortune 100 FLDP and Big 4. I am not sure if the rotations in the FLDP will qualify as CPA eligible work experience. Would it be worth it to ditch the CPA route despite completing a Masters in Accountancy and go into corporate finance without the CPA? Or would I be...

Hey everyone, In thanks for all of the valuable info and advice I've gotten from WSO over the last couple years, I thought I'd 'pay it forward' and share the list I made of FT FLDP-type programs that I applied to (or seriously thought about applying to) during my senior year. I know several people...

Hi everyone, Just as the title states, I'm thinking about quitting the program soon. A little about myself:
15 Nov 2017
I recently received a HireVue interview request for CVS Health's FLDP. What types of questions will they ask? Examples? How in-depth will the behavioral / technical questions be? What would set me apart from other applicants? Any other relevant tips? Optionally, you can answer the following...
17 Sep 2020
Good morning all, I've spent a lot of time on this site, and asked quite a few questions myself, so I figured I'd do my part to give back by answering any questions you might have about corporate finance or fldps in general. A little about myself: 2nd yr FLDP (1.5 yrs in) at a F500 in Chicago. I'm...

I am making this post to clear some of my concerns regarding reneging an offer and hope that you all can provide me some of your thoughts. I am currently pursuing a one year Masters from a target B-school, think UVA/Duke/UNC, and accepted a job offer last month from a top firm in their FLDP program....

A question that I hope to get an answer for from those fellow monkeys who have more knowledge about the F500 finance world than I do (or have any other insights into this): How feasible/realistic is it to get into a post-MBA FLDP or a regular (but CFO-track) corporate finance position at an F500...

I'm an Accounting and MIS major that is looking for opportunities to join an FLDP in technology, CPG, Pharma, or retail. At my school, only one F500 have established recruiting for their FLDP.

I'm going to be starting in Big 4 audit later this year, and already know that hardcore accounting, let alone auditing, is not the end game for me. I simply want the accounting bootcamp and name on my resume. Instead, I want to move into corporate FP&A, with plans to work up to Director/VP level,...

Hi everyone, I am currently in a three year FLDP rotational program with a FT500 company. I will not mention the name of the company for obvious reasons. I am in my first year rotation right now. So far, it is just like what everyone said. The benefits of this program are great, and you're...

I am currently in a FLDP and have the opportunity to do a rotation in corporate development- M&A next May. My previous rotations have been in FP&A and I had studied accounting in school, therefore I have no experience or knowledge about M&A. I am hoping that when I start my rotation in 7 months that...

WSO, So I recently put in my resignation letter and giving my 2 weeks notice. The boss, at the time, seemed upset but not overly dramatic about it. Then, yesterday I exchanged emails giving my official date and for whatever reason, he was not pleased. Thereafter, he started attacking me personally,...

Has anyone heard of a case where someone got accepted into a post-MBA FLDP program but they didn't have an MBA? For example, if someone has 6-7 years of relevant industry experience but no MBA, are they still an auto-ding if no top MBA? Appreciate any responses.

I was wondering if anyone could provide some insights on working for BAE Systems and particularly the FLDP. How were your experiences? I am particularly interested in government contracting and/or M&A/Corporate Development. How is the pay, lifestyle, and advancement opportunities? I'd appreciate if...
11 Jan 2012
Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this program. How does it compare to other FLDPs and Big 4 Audit? Would it depend on the rotations that you get? The program has two 1-year rotations.

I'm a senior at a non-target, with a F500 FLDP offer for after I graduate. I am 99.99% sure that the FLDP is what I want to do. I find corp fin very enjoyable and want to continue in corp fin long-term. I was recently approached about interviewing for a Fall/Spring semester internship with a BB in...

I'm approaching senior year of undergrad and am debating between which step to take next – join FLDP at current company or skip FLDP and hire into full-time position at current company. Background: The summer after my freshmen year I began my first internship as a financial analyst in a F50 –...

In a F500 FLDP from undergrad. I was told I'd be up for promotion after year one? What is above an analyst and what salary increase should I expect? (Base starting at $55k) How fast could I make senior financial analyst? ( salary I could expect?) Unrelated--> I totally want to work for an auto...

I have a few days to decide between two offers, one in a corporate finance FLVP role at a top defense contractor and another FLDP at a major insurance firm. The comp is essentially the same, both have similar benefits packages, and I would most likely live in Boston for both positions. I would like...

Lets get some FAQs going on with Financial Leadership Programs. What do people want to know?
12 Apr 2011
How difficult would it be to move into private equity or investment banking as an associate post-MBA if your pre-MBA experience was with a respected FMP/FLDP program (GE, Raytheon, Lockheed, EMC, etc.)? When banks and private equity firms hire candidates out of MBA programs, do they strongly prefer...
28 Dec 2009
Was curious what was everyone's take on what make you competitive for many of the FLDP and starting financial analyst roles! Such as Raytheon's FLDP or any other. As background I am in Dallas. The main areas I was curious about were: GPA (Cumulative and Major) Extracurricular (Finance Clubs?...

Hey all, A few months back, I accepted an offer for a FDP program at a F100 company. Looking back, I really would like to be in the investment banking industry, and some day hope to work at a Private Equity firm. As of now, I am just in a dilemma where I think I shot myself in the foot by accepting...

I am looking to apply to fldps this year and have not been able to find out when they start recruiting. Are they on the same timeline as banks or are they later in the year?
10 Aug 2016
Hi all, United Technologies is a F50 company that is about the same size as GE and one of its main competitors in multiple fields yet this company is not discussed often on this board or anywhere onine. Does anyone have any insight into this company's FLDP program and how it ranks compared to others...
11 Mar 2015
Hello, I am a rising senior at a top 10 university, and looking at the pages of most of the FLDP's, they don't recruit on campus at my school. Do you think this is a significant disadvantage/how do I make sure I can demonstrate my interest? Also, I am an econ major but have no coursework in...
14 Jul 2013
Hey so I just got into this search and I'm trying to position myself. Does anyone know any FLDP's that sponsor international students? Also, do fldps usually include junior year internships?
25 Jun 2021
I was wondering how this program stacks up against something like a Big 4 audit or other fldp programs. I know a lot of people talk about the value of fldp programs due to a company's name or brand. I am just unsure on Exelon since I have no idea how relevant and popular their presence within the...

I am very excited about my FLDP start this summer with a F100 company.

Congratulations to all...

I was looking for anyone with experience with Verizon's FLDP. I would love to hear more about your experiences with it and how you think it compares to more well known FLDPs. Thanks in advance!
22 May 2020
Update: Got an interview!
08 Mar 2015
Having trouble with this. How have people here who have done an FLDP program or something similar set up their resume? I am unsure how to group each of my rotations, because essentially I have held four separate jobs within the program.
20 Aug 2015
I have an interview with Microsoft for their Finance Rotational Program coming up and was wondering if anyone else has gone through the process or is currently working there.
