I am going final round in EMEA and I am also 31. So don't worry about your age. It's actually an advantage.
The ECLP is not a training program, so you won't be back to basics.
It's more like an internal consulting program where you will be asked to come up with ideas and solutions to develop business for GE.
GE still has a very industrial culture and senior management wants to change that.
You will pretty much be on your own during the ECLP. Don't expect a mentor or senior person to be behind you all the time to help you. You job is precisely to motivate and unite people around you during a project and deliver. That's leadership.
If you're entrepreneurial and take initiative, you'll have fun and have the chance to have an impact on the business you're in. If not, you'll feel like no one care for you.
As for salary, I have heard that salaries in EMEA are higher than in the US. In the US, GE is so prestigious that they can afford to be cheap on compensation. In Europe, if they want to attract talented professionals, they have to pay for them.
This is also why defection rate is higher in the US as some people go back to the Street to make more money (since you're not bonus eligible during the program).
GE rewards loyalty. Compensation will grow as you stay in the company.

Bloh123,
thanks for the detailed email. Do you have any info on compensation in EMEA. I know the US range is $70-$90K, would you know what the EMEA range is or the sign on bonus ?
You can email if you wish on:
mn1_mn1@hotmail.com
It will be useful to talk to a fellow EMEA applicant
