corpfin23, what's your opinion? Comment below:
  • Hired directly out of undergrad. Interviewed early winter and accepted offer about a month after.
  • Base salary is around $65K w/ sign on bonus and annual bonus based on performance and company performance (~ 5-10%).
  • Company is in a major market with business units spread out all over the globe. My first rotation was in a middle market area and then rotated into corporate HQ.
  • The program length is 3 years - usually doing 3 separate year long rotations. This is a good time line because it allows you time to learn a lot of different parts of the business. About halfway through the 3rd year you start to get recruited for Senior Analyst roles.
  • Typical day depends on the role. I can give you it from the FP&A/Strategy side of things... usually come in around 7:30AM check emails and get caught up on industry news. We have a coffee shop in our building so after I make sure there's nothing crazy urgent I fuel up for the day.

By 10AM I've probably got a few messages from my boss on certain costs that have hit in the month or questions on a certain financial model we're working on. Once those are taken care of I head off to talk with one of the Project Managers and Marketing Directors for one of our major projects that is supposed to be launched in the next fiscal year. There has been a change in scope so I need to assess how these changes will affect the model.

By 12:30PM it's time for lunch. Most likely will just grab something to go back to my desk with as I'm patiently waiting to touch base with my boss on some follow up questions I have from an earlier meeting. One of the best (or worst) parts of being anFLDPis the learning curve. You will be given a lot of responsibility and exposure, but it all doesn't fall into place at once. I've found that setting some time aside to ask your questions is important.

午餐后,我前往与老板的投资组合策略会议。会议主要由所有高管组成,但由于会有很多讨论与我的日常活动有关,因此她认为我参加的情况很好。在适当的时候,我倾向于被邀请参加许多此类会议,因为这可以进行良好的学习。

By 3PM most of the critical components of my "To DO" list are taken care of. I finish up some ad-hoc reports for our VP of Finance and head to my boss' office to see if she needs anything before she leaves for the day. We go over some changes she made to the financial model I had worked on a few days prior, explains her thought process, and we start to put together the slide deck we plan to present to leadership the following week. Most days I'm out the door by 4:30/5PM with of course the occasional late night here and there.

  • 至于要问的问题:
  • What are the opportunities for growth in the role?
  • Do candidates have a say in their rotations?
  • once placed in a role - don't be afraid to ask to be more involved. I think most FLDP's are exposed to more than a typical analyst would be. But there's no shame in asking ! Show initiative and put your head down and work when the opportunity presents itself.
  • Understand the difference between Corp Fin and Banking. I think a lot of people (including myself) come into the role with false expectations. You aren't going to be worked like a dog for 80 hours a week (a pro for sure). But there will also be some down time. Learn to use your time wisely. I usually like to set up networking meetings with senior leadership when I know there will be some down time.

Hope this helps!

"the meeting consists of primarily all executives," "ad-hoc reports for our VP of finance," "exposed ...more than a typical analyst," "networking with senior leadership," "a lot of responsibility and exposure."

Everything you say may be accurate and I appreciate the positive attitude, but why effectively namedrop throughout yourWSOpost? I don't see how patting yourself on the back in your uninvited AMA really helps readers.fldpsare total mixed-bags, and like with anything else it is what you make of it.

corpfin23- 感谢您这样做。这是我一直遇到的一些问题:

  1. 我读了很多WSOthat people who started in FP&A or CorpDev later plateaued since they were not winning the bread for the firm. Essentially, there comes a point where the FP&A Head wants to switch over to a P&L role because she understands the value chain in the firm. Do you plan to take that route later in the future or are you content with the role your boss has (since this is a good proxy of what you will do when you become that boss in a few years)?

  2. 进入FLDPthat is not in Fortune 100?

  3. Do you know any alumni of the program who switched over from the FP&A route to something like consulting or operating partner in PE?

  4. 你接受了吗FLDPbecause you love the specific industry your firm operates in or because this had a better work-life balance than other finance roles (i.e.IBand Capital Market roles)?

corpfin23, what's your opinion? Comment below:
  • My goal is to transition into Corp Dev/Strategy role eventually. I think FP&A lays a good foundation for understanding the business at its core and plays a major role in ensuring the company is jiving with its strategy.
  • 我认为,如果该程序适用于F100公司,这不会有很大的不同。当然 - 微软的计划或该口径的一家公司在简历上更加突出,但我认为您可以理解为什么在较小的公司中工作的原因FLDPtoo. For instance - at an F100 firm you may be working in a specific BU or in a corporate role but with little visibility and much more of a ladder to climb in regards to promotion and what not.
  • Yes - a few graduates of the program have left for Consulting positions as well as Corporate Dev roles, and a few who've found a way intoPE. Those who stay on through the program typically climb the ranks quickly and some have found their way into Director and VP positions before the age of 30.
  • Combination of both. I think I gravitated to the program primarily due to company reputation but also my interest in the industry.IB在我大学生涯的初期是我的兴趣,但我认为我对Corp Fin的亲密关系以及您在各种角色中的细节感到更加兴趣。

NeverOutOfTheFight, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Is there a hiring period forFLDPlike there is one for banking, or is it random? Do select companies do it or is it dependent on need. I am trying to get into HealthcareFLDP((preferably in biotech) but can only find ones in tech. Do you know any specific healthcare FLDP's that I can go for around this time of the year.

大多数FLDP在秋季学期的新兵,因此也许落后于银行业招聘时间表,但不远。我知道我们的公司已经完成招聘,但是目前可能有一些程序接受申请。祝你好运!

如果你得到正确的公司和旋转这些FLDP's can provide great experience. I know Cigna has a greatFDP旋转。现任首席执行官经历了它,一些细分市场CFO也做了。我为MBA/Accounting Associate class and had a great experience. Company has some really interesting prospects moving forward and if you are interested in the pharmacy space, has opportunity to rotate through Express Scripts. My understanding is they will be expanding the Corp DevM&Ateam quite a bit over the next five years and theFDP有可能旋转该团队。老实说,按工资/工作寿命余额可能是我收到的最佳报价。最终没有接受它,因为我得到了一个机会IB在HC实习。很高兴在Cigna上提出问题FDPif anyone wants more info. Just DM.

Moksu, what's your opinion? Comment below:

I was wondering if there's a significant difference in prestige amongfldpprograms.

I currently intern for a F200 company with anfldp, but was thinking of re-recruiting next semester for one that's more established. Ofc the risk is that I end up with nothing.

我正在考虑的因素是研究生应用程序,国际轮换和薪水。

What are your thoughts? Thanks!

There certainly is a difference in prestige between different programs, but how much that really matters is probably a case by case basis. And prestige is really only good if you want to job hop directly after theFLDPends or go to anMBA. Otherwise you should be more concerned with upward momentum upon graduation in your company, how old the program is, where alumni end up, etc.

I wouldn't look at these tiers in the same way you look at tiers for schools or banking groups.

第1层:GE,J&J,Microsoft,Raytheon/UTC(现在合并),Capital One, Lockheed, and a few others Tier 2: Any other name brand/F500 program Tier 3: Non-name brand F1000/Middle Market company
