A Day in the Life:
Comcast’s CORE Finance program has established itself among the elite rotational programs for finance and accounting majors.Over the past 18 months, I have experienced two entirely different types of corporate roles – one focused on accounting/financial reporting;the other on business development/cable strategy.The opportunity to explore multiple facets of the company, geographically and functionally, allows for a unique and valuable perspective of what’s possible with an accounting or finance degree.Below is a brief example of a day in my last rotation in multicultural consumer services:
8:30AM.I buzz into my floor.One of the first people in today, it’s a 9 AM, suburban commuter kind of place.An updated report on our international cable subscribers needs to be in my boss’s hands by 9:45AM.I pull in the data from last night, and my Excel automation does the rest.At a glance, we gained 1,500 subscribers on our South Asian programming, which makes sense given our concerted efforts in Chicago.But, what is this spike?1,100 subscribers dropped our Russian programming, particularly in California.I will bring these to my boss’s attention, and my guess is she will want to know why.Let’s look at what competition is doing.I quickly Google search and find AT&T is offering a triple play base package that’s $10 cheaper than ours, and they offer slightly better Russian programming.Although our internet speeds are faster, their marketing highlights a lower price point in a more culturally relevant way.
11AM.My boss appreciated my timely report and my analytical framework.We discussed the results of our efforts in Chicago, and now it’s time to share the good news with the teams in the field.I’ll work now to build a PowerPoint highlighting our results to date for South Asian programming the region.Then, once the California team gets into the office, I will follow up about the loss in Russian subscribers to further understand the trend.Then, I will work in tandem with my boss after lunch to develop a go-to-market strategy to correctly reposition our product.Good thing my financial models are ready to plug and chug.Also, before 4 PM, I have to reach out to one of the executives in call center operations.我们需要讨论他的努力，“在语言”迎合销售我们的国际观众的当前状态。我领导的电话会议上九个同事，我需要有一个更新准备份额自我们还是要完成我们的建议，我们呈现给执行副总裁，三个星期。
