man's just spouting out newly formed opinions on the spot.. what waste of time

Consulting is supposed to be a senior position. Why would I care about experience when I already have 20 years of experience ? The whole point of me moving around every project is to share that experience faster that if I was contributing only one project. Then again I have seen people under 30 in "consulting", but they are just glorified thiefs and they will pay one day or another. These people are empty.

Us consultants work on bananas, peaches, and grapes. And hes worked on apples

Does anyone still not know that consulting companies are just a disguise for corruption? That is why CEOs like it so much, a way to drain money from companies to their pockets.

Bro is dancing with words trying not to outright shit talk consultants lmao

Getting in consultants or "specialised" IT contractors often seemed like a slap in the face to me. Despite the skills of the contractor or consultants, it takes time to learn how the company they are consulting works for. As far as the IT work goes, I always wondered if it was not a better idea to choose some of the existing team to learn about whatever it was management had decided to implement and backfill by hiring someone more junior (and therefore cheaper) on a renewable contract. Surely it is easier for someone to learn about one product in a given amount of time than it is for someone to learn how your department works in the same amount of time?

This is plain, if not extra plain banal. But oh! It comes from Steve Jobs and then it becomes gold.

Consulting has made me wealthy but it's a total scam, Jobs was right about that. Being a variable expense in hard times though - that's everyone. You'll get canned in a downturn to appease shareholders just like anyone else.

Consultants come in many shades these days. You have everything from "Go in for four weeks, generate 10 millions in savings by firing a bunch of well-paid experienced employees and taking away free coffee in the office, leave" to "Temporary young employees that are given a bit of leeway to find new solutions and shake things up a little to keep the workforce from going stale" to "Temporary staff extension for a big project" to "Do the actual work in a company for the longstanding employees that are all dead inside". Type 1 might be more prevalent in the US, while they're actually exceedingly rare in other countries where workers have the agency and right to complain. And if you're good enough (and care for it) you can accompany all phases of some sort of product as a consultant - we started out with pulling a big savings number out of our ass, got the project rolling, then we created the actual RfP, did some honest legal work, produced cybersecurity assessments, assessed the offers coming in, got half the board members of a big company fired for an outrageous offer that really strained the relationship between the two companies and we eventually got a deal that potentially generated bigger savings than initally promised. My company ended up getting a deal out of it where they were actual service providers, and we recruited people for the implementation, set up a big three-company workshop and did project management. Tldr: Consultancy allowed me to actually accompany a project LONGER and on many more levels than I ever could have as a regular employee, while getting access to some of the highest ranking IT executives in my country. As an outsider in a company you can move a lot more freely between hierarchy levels in the client company if you're good enough. And yes, if I named the companies you'd recognize everyone of them.

Hate consultants hired right out of college. They become bosses who are major pricks and have zero empathy and knowledge for the ones who implement

Management consultancy is nothing but a deception a con. The prime use of management consultants is so CEOs don't need to take responsibility for laying people off - they can say 'well these clever guys have pointed out we need to do this, not my idea - but we have to do it." Thats it, it's 99% of why they exist and they get paid billions for it. Management consultancy employ graduates straight from college - usually Ivy league Colleges. These kids have never done a days work in their lives, and are some of the most privileged and comfortable people around - they have never been employed. They go from high school, to college and then usually a post-graduate degree on top of that. They have never managed a budget, been responsible for revenue, manufacturing, sales - nothing. For starters, the average consultant at renowned firms is often young, between the ages of 20 and 30. A significant proportion of them have only been with the company for a scant 1 to 2 years. This lack of experience raises questions about their capability to advise behemoths like Apple or Microsoft on how to manage their business. Most possess no real-world management experience, relying instead on theoretical knowledge from textbooks and case studies. It’s widely recognized that exceptional management is honed through years of leadership and hands-on experience, skills these consultants usually lack. Despite this, they manage to secure six-figure salaries right out of college, with earnings soaring above $200,000 by the time they hit 30. One might argue that junior consultants are often guided by seasoned senior consultants. However, most companies already have internal staff far more knowledgeable than any external consultant. For instance, a program manager with 20 years of experience across numerous big companies will almost always outperform a senior management consultant. Despite this disparity in experience and expertise, top consulting firms continue to rake in billions. The question remains: why do companies feel compelled to hire management consultants if they are so inept at their jobs? Convenient scapegoats. If layoffs succeed in stabilizing the company, the CEO is likely to take credit for making tough decisions. Conversely, if the layoffs prove unnecessary or detrimental, the CEO can deflect blame onto the consultants. You can be absolutely sure of one thing, that no matter which management consultancy you employ or how much you pay them - They will know less about the business at hand than the people they are supposed to be advising. You are paying a college graduate millions to tell you what you already know.

Sure but tSteve never worked for an actual engineering consultancy. Doing actual engineering (not software engineering or product development). If something goes tits up and you designed it, that shit is on you. So yeah, you're wrong on this one Steve. But you're dead now :c

Apple guy chose a banana.

Consultants share decades of experience with businesses that are just starting out. F U , Steve, ya twat.

He makes it very easy for himself and I must strongly disagree. I agree that you do not fully experience the environment of your client. BUT you are talking to the people which do and this way you still learn a ton about it, at least if you care. You learn a lot about different clients and this gives you a perspective you can never have outside of consulting. It is very different, but not worse, as he depicts it.

Like stopping before having an orgasm

(You are a variable expense, in hard time you find yourself …..) that explains it all

I was horrible at consulting so I built business and now I have a team.

100%

You never tasted „em peaches „mhm“ hahaha

Managers don't pay top dollar to get advice, managers pay top dollar to get their own thoughts parroted back at them in a way that if it all goes wrong they can justify their actions so the board doesn't fire them.

If I planned a prresentation for a year, it still wouldn't be as good as this ... .and it's as if he's just winging it ...

Who's that guy? He should built his own company.

Only someone with at least 20 years fo experience in an industry is qualified to consult others about it. Fresh MBAs with no industry experience should not be consultants.

but what if we see it something like this person has been seeing the textures, shapes, colors, price, how they harvest it etc of those fruits for years even tho he never really ever tastes it in person, does it still justified to take this person advice on these fruits?

Doctors will never be an in expert at being you, but they might know how to fix you

I have to agree with Mr. Jobs here. Consulting is very jewish

Non consultants: consulting is evil Consultants: consulting is evil

Damn what a legend

Can’t believe Steve Jobs was the bay harbor butcher

WHAT FLOW???

This seems to be a common refrain among engineers and creators: MBAs and consultants are trash.

Not everything this guy said was insightful and I think this is a great example of that

Really does look like Ashton here

The problem is so many of these Ivy league graduates end up as consultants, then join politics. They have never built a thing, so end up it is all hot air. You look at the state of the USA's infrastructure and manufacturing industries. Then you can understand why 'Pure" consultants without "scars" from the actual painful implementation is dangerous!

Hi stive! I wonder if you know anyone who needs help with something that they have struggled with for a long time? Family, friends, you know. Am willing to invest my time and energy to help when the person is ready to invest in them self

Skin in the game

Myself as a consultant, I own the business still and actively sell my ideas that have worked to other companies as a consultant for my other businesses so I can speak with conviction on what has worked with my business.
