Switching from technical to business - thoughts and opinions?

For some background, I got accepted into ELDP. For my entire career I have been doing technical, hand on keyboard, engineering work. While I do generally like it, I am interested in exploring what else is out there besides just technical roles. The whole point of ELDP is to take on new and exciting roles that give you some experience in a rotation without the repercussion of being stuck there if you hate it. (Along with all the leadership experience as well)

I want to get into Program Managing. Either a business program or a corporate initiative like 1LMX. For those that have made a transition from technical to business development, how was it? What was your experience with it? Do you regret the transition?

ELDP Salary Adjustment

Hey all, just curious if anyone here has entered ELDP as a level 2 and if their salary changed because of it. I got accepted into ELDP program and start soon, but I also got my L2 promotion about a month ago, along with a pretty decent bump in pay. I know it’s a job code change for ELDP, but will HR cut my current salary that I just got in my promotion once I’m switched over to ELDP?

My manager submitted my L2 promotion on 4/23 and I have yet to hear back or receive anything from HR. How long does this process usually take?

I figured it wouldn’t be much longer than a week or so, but I guess I was mistaken.

Thanks!
