Just received an offer to join GSK’s leadership development program. Do these programs actually set you up for moving up? My goal is to be able to move into management and climb that way so how does it help there? Likely going to accept it but just curious to hear what other people think.

Do it! Look at people in your field and see how long it took them to move it. It will make the fast track idea seem even better.
