This post was extremely helpful. I was just accepted into a LDP program yesterday and while I am thrilled to have the option so early (I am a college senior) I am having quite a bit of trouble deciding. The LDP that I was accepted into has me traveling from office to office for about 6 months each stay (to total about 2 years of travel). The offices are all over the country. I have been focusing for years now, on starting my career in the Washington, DC area (that also happens to be where my fiance is headed, a geographic choice we made together). The company I would be working for has 12 DC/Northern VA offices and if I could be placed in those area offices and do rotations there, that would be a dream. Do you think that I have the "right" to request staying in such a small geographic area but still completing the program? Is it worth-while to discuss this possibility with the company or given the fact that the nature of the program is to travel to different areas, is it a useless question? Any help would be wonderful! Thank you so much. Best, Mary McDougall Hi all,

I hope some of you will be able to help me out…

This write directly address my research on LDP programs. I implore you to pen your insights on some of the key aspects that may assist LDP aspirants. Some of the questions that I am looking information are: 1. What can I do to build my profile towards LDP ? 2. Is MBA a necessary pre-requisite ? If so, which B-schools are best aligned towards LDP ? 3. What are the major organizations that provide these opportunities ? 4. Is the program industry dependent i.e does rotation means cross-functional rotation in one industry ? I would be obliged if you could respond to some my questions and point me towards right resources. Great post. This write directly address my research on LDP programs.
