Let me tell you something, GE is more than I could have ever imagined it to be.
The things they have their hands in. Their plan for me (and the rest of the IMLPS). My future. The benefits. The overall status of being a GE employee, and realizing, really realizing for the first time in a long time, that I have finally been recognized for all my hard work and am getting the recognition I deserve.
I knew it was hard to get here, in the program, but never realized just how hard. After the screening interview at WPI, and all other top schools in the nation, there was a pool of hundreds of candidates - hundreds. Overall, around 25 were chosen. That's it. My division, Infrastructure, took 8. They said they could have taken more, but they didn't. They said they didn't because they couldn't even find anyone who had the potential and skill they wanted. No one was up to snuff. And I was.
I would have never put myself so high up here. I would have never believed it if someone told me that I would be considered this talented. Maybe I talked and interviewed really well? Maybe. But I doubt it. GE is made up of the worlds smartest people, and that's that. They know exactly what they are doing and how they are doing it. There really is no way for me to pin this on luck or chance. I finally realize that I do have some kind of special talent, and that I should really be proud of myself.
We were told that being in this program means we are already GE's top employees. We are being exposed to training and people that the other 45,000 of their employees would be lucky to get or see in their first 10-15 years of employment. We have been handpicked to be turned in GEs future leaders.
I'm intimidated though. I'm going to have to make a lot of changes and sacrifices in my lifestyle. We are ranked amongst each other in this program. I'm too competitive to not care about this. All this cush treatment and status elevation may get to me. It might go to my head, and I might become self-absorbed at times. To a degree, that's ok, and I deserve it. But I trust my friends to keep me human.
I'm going to post more about the details of this another time. In the meantime, I miss you guys, my friends, my family, and I wish the best to you.
