This doesn't really tell us what you DO though. I'm sure we all know consulting is busy and involves a lot of meetings/travel, but what generally is the nature of your meetings, engagements/projects, and deliverables? Seems hard to believe that consultants have profound insight or unique technical knowledge or skill to justify their (in many people's opinion) highly over-inflated compensation and billing rates. Especially since you're young (younger than me by a few years it seems) and recently out of college, I would like to know what kind of projects you are engaged by clients to work on, what kinds of problems they expect you to help them with, given that you haven't built much expertise in any particular area of knowledge. That's what I'm sure most of use "lay people" are truly curious about, but these kinds of videos seem to intentionally avoid addressing it.

TheComplifused

Exactly my thoughts. I always see these videos by people who have come from a good uni straight into these jobs. What skills other than an extra fancy bit of paper do they actually bring? Especially as they have no actual work experience as such

5bscs

Imo consulting is so useless lol

5bscs

Wow it's a money wasting circlejerk! Lol my respect for consultants dropped even further. Thanks for the insight.

Consulting is a very broad term it can mean pretty much anything. I personally work in tech consulting within the cloud sector. Which basically means I help client's with their IT Infrastructure and Cloud projects. This could mean mean leading a team to build out some IT Infrastructure or helping a company with their strategy around this space. The typical roles would be, Project Management, Architects, Engineers, PMO, Business Analysts.

5bscs

Right but this is clearly management consulting, which also happens to be clearly useless

I would love to see more of these videos of a week in consulting and more videos about your career if possible!!

Have you ever done a guide on how to become a healthcare consultant? As a 4th year Health Sciences student, I’m very interested in getting into this field and would greatly appreciate one!

As always thank you so much for the resourceful videos, so glad I discovered your channel this year!

I actually work as one - but in the pharmaceutical field. I mostly focus on early to late development, all pre-commercialization work. It's a lot less travel than most consultants, but when you do travel it tends to come in giant chunks at once. There was one client that I was flying to Kyoto (from NYC at the time) for 2 weeks on, and 2 weeks off. Shortly after that engagement though, I got my name listed on a bunch of high level papers (including some newspapers), and I started off working solo and haven't looked back since. Since the pandemic, I have travelled maybe a handful of times, and I work exclusively from my home office.

Zac Lomas

How did u get into the field ie what did u study

Mina Nihad

@GC you mean you started ur own consulting business? Sorry to ask cause I'm looking into this life science career too, and I have a further question though
In case prep, do the cases in interviews differ from the one applying for other industries?

Lavanya Budhan

Being a consultant is a career option i am interested in, your video has provided an insight into what it’s really like and it seems exhausting. What exactly do you do as a consultant?? ik you give advice and help clients but could you give examples how and provide scenarios pls?

Do you have any videos out that explain how you got into consulting with your educational background? Do you need a bachelors degree in something specific ? Or experience?

I'm curious. How much work experience is required for first-time consultants and did you find it difficult to get your foot in the door as a consultant in the very beginning?

L

How did you become a consultant? I’ve been considering going back to school to study business, currently deciding between MIS, finance/accounting double major and supply chain. However I’m wondering if the finance route would get me closer to being a consultant? Thanks!

OkayJay ASMR

You dont need to go to school to become a consultant. I became a work from home consultant with just sales experience and my high school diploma with $7k a month

OkayJay ASMR

The way i did it was literally just apply at indeed. The only boost i had to getting my job was the fact that i had 2 years of direct sales experience. But anyone can do it. You just gotta be willing and motivated to get things done

dolescent

@OkayJay ASMR I make 5-17k a month and I dropped out of highschool I sell RVs and boats haha

@dolescent That sounds fun haha

Hey this looks crazy bc you spend time away from home and work life balance seems crazy. Do you find yourself having time to keep up with your old hometown friends and even your family?

im wondering if the client meetings are now going to be all online since everything after covid is moving online which will make you travel less…? is that the direction everything is going?

Super interesting bro! Enjoyed watching and keep up the good work 😁

Anurag Pandey

I really like the point of not waking up at 5... Take good sleep as a consultant your decision quality matters... So sleep well

Which courses should you study. I'm a student from India 🙏

Arvind Parthasarathy

Wow... this just confirms what we've known all along. Consulting and most MBA careers pay people inflated salaries for fluff. This guy didn't tell you a single substantive thing he actually did as part of his job. Read Anand Giridhardas' book and you'll find out all you need to know about working for companies like McKinsey's. The MBA mindset has truly ruined the world.

Tman

This career is unstainable and toxic. I was an Accenture consultant. Culture of vanity and being popular and all about looking right, speaking the jargon, and endless fake happy hours and dinners. The travel gets old fast. I now have a great job, 9-5, compelling work, and go home after work to enjoy my family and hobbies.

Intermediate

Probably depends on the company and industry. I'm a government consultant at one of the big 4 and have a great worklife balance. Only traveled once.

Mike

I love that you try to sleep whenever you can lol

Allen Fiallos

How do your coworkers that have families manage this type of lifestyle?

Dave B

Easy! They just lose their families because wives/husbands are fed up. (3rd year consultant here, I'm gonna quit as soon as that hellish travel week concept returns)

I just don’t see how it’s possible to arrive at the airport at 9:10, and board the 9:40 flight. How’d you go through all the checkin and security?

5bscs

They probably have CLEAR and TSA PreCheck. That'd get you through security in 5m tops.

Awil Mohamoud

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as a niche and within it a lamp: the lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a star Durriyyun, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow forth, though no fire touched it.



The exact translation of the saying is, “I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

Javier Marquez

I feel like you have to be built for this!

Carlos González

Reality: It’s a shit.
I worked 4 years as a financial consultant and I quit as soon as I’d saved up some money. You don’t have a life. I got up at 7 a.m and I was working until 8-9 p.m on a daily basis.

It was strenuous and the salaries were not keeping up with the time I spent working. I mean, you’d better be willing to give your life for the company.

Also, most of the companies are settled in NY and renting a place there is insane.

The thing is if you are thinking of beginning your career in this area, think twice about it.
It’s not what it seems, and nowadays, there are pretty good deals in more “relaxed” environments for entry-level employees.

You could study ancient roman history and land a job in top tier consulting. In the end the name of your college is what counts most and how you present yourself. Any degree from Ivy >>>>>> Finance degree from community college.

How did you make $200K as a consulting analyst? Didn’t you recently graduate college?

Income Over Outcome

salaries for some firms here https://www.levels.fyi/company/AT-Kearney/salaries/Management-Consultant/Associate/ You usually get promoted to associate 2-3 years after being at a firm

D

@Income Over Outcome You can make 200k+ 2-3 years after undergrad at MBB and T2 firms. Definitely not at Big4 or most consulting firms. Also, I think it's a bit disingenuous to clickbait the 200k TC when you don't personally make that. Why not include the 7 figure TC that partners make?

Johnson Doeboy

@D The big 4 make how much on average for yearly salary?

Jayden Garrett

Look at the top consulting firms in the industry. BCG, Bain, McKinsey. All are pathetic. Don't provide value and often drive the company into the ground.

Netflix is next.

Johnson Doeboy

The companies are driving themselves into the ground. It’s not the fault of the consultants. They just regurgitate what they senior staff would like implemented (while removing their own personal liability).

Jayden Garrett

@Johnson Doeboy Who runs the company? Consultants.

Don't be a nan and bend over providing horrible services to clients while also gouging them.

Accountant and I see it in the big 4 all the time. It's how extreme Enron/Wirecard fraud happens. Appease the client.

Backwards thinking. You as a consultant or accountant have a fundamental job to do. That helps true business.

Johnson Doeboy

@Jayden Garrett There’s a difference on what SHOULD be happening and what is actually happening. I’m on your side, I agree….. but in real life the consultants do very little while making the big bucks.

Johnson Doeboy

@Jayden Garrett The senior staff doesn’t want to lose their jobs while making a bad decision that can cost millions of dollars. They just use consultants as scapegoats in case THEIR plan fails. And consultants just go along for the ride and rake in the money.

Richard Rodriguez

You can consult on different areas if you’re an expert in it. We can’t give specific examples as our solutions belong to our clients. However, a client can have a problem and ask for a third party (consultants) to solve it for them as they may not have the resources or expertise (or both) to solve it themselves.

JustMamba

Yea I would look more into it.. look at the different types of consultants. Usually people specialize in something. Any type of business degree could help but it's not necessary. Here's what I found on Google they can probably explain it better than I can. In a nutshell they provide expert opinions, analysis, and recommendations to organizations or individuals, based on their own expertise. They're essentially fixers, serving as objective troubleshooters, and providing strategies to prevent problems and improve performance.
