Hello all,
I am new here. I have been on here reading posts for a good minute now and figured I'd join the fun. I have until December 15th to make a decision. Yes, 9 days! Here is the scenario:
I recently received an Offer from GE- Commercial Finance for a position as an Investment Analyst. I wanted to know what you all felt about this position and program specifically. How does it stack up with FMP? I looked at both programs before I showed interest and chose to go after only one and that was the IA program. Has anyone been involved with the program or heard anything about it. The pay is somewhat lower than expected, but that is not my top priority out of college.
Also, what is the career path like. On the GE site it is listed as: "IA-> In-Charge analyst-> Business Analyst-> underwriter-> Underwriting/Marketing VP"
However I am not interested in Underwriting what-so-ever. Also, this program is listed as a Commercial Lending Leadership Development Program. However, I wanted to know how reputable this program would be and if it would be considered "formal training". I have an offer from LaSalle Bank for their Commercial Leadership Development Program as a credit analyst. I also have an offer from JPMorgan as an analyst for Private Client Services. I would like to know how you all would rank these and what you all thought would provide me with the best opportunities in the future. I know that ultimately it boils down to what I would be happier doing and what I am most interested in. Thanks for your help!
ps. Those of you that work for GE, or have worked for GE in the past. ANY words of advice would be great.
