Can you make a video on how to prep for a case interview and how to approach the process?
great idea!
@@bykchoi I was just going to comment the same. Waiting for your insight on how to prep/tackle case interview eagerly ! :)
Could be nice for you to make a video about careers for English majors and /or starting your own business/consulting firm. I could see you doing that in the future.
I've been binging on your videos recently during quarantine, your videos are so underrated and helpful!! I'm 2 years out of college working full-time in data analytics now and have been thinking about my future career plans and these videos have been very refreshing for gaining more perspectives on career advice :)
thanks so much!!
As someone with a lot of consumer experience trying to change into an employee-facing role, I would love for you to do a video or response elaborating on what you mentioned at 13:58 - 14:17 and how those skills serve as a complement to your employee-facing responsibilities.
Wow our paths are quite similar. I'm also an English major and have started my career as a fashion PR too! I've been following you for years!
I'm in the process of applying to an MBA and hoping to switch my career to business analyst. I find your videos suuuper helpful and inspiring and just wanted to say thank you!
I worked for 2 years after uni and now debating whether to go do a master's. thanks for your informative videos KChoi!
I actually clapped when you shared your story in moving from PR to consulting 👏🏻 I want to change my career to PR and hearing your story just gives me hope that my career doesnt have to stop there. Thank you for sharing!!
Awww hahaha thank you!! Good luck!
Thank you so much for this! I just graduated with a technical degree but I also have a business minor and want to go into consulting and with COVID going on it kind of halted some of my plans! I'm really excited to try out the insidesherpa and covidfellows program, so thank you for always providing amazing content (esp during this time of uncertainty)
Good luck!!!
It is really helpful for me to build up my career goal and make my own story.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and hard work! :)
I can't wait the next one.
thank you!! :)
Thanks for mentioning #InsideSherpa I have completed few programs there and they are a lot helpful to get acquainted with work culture at companies like BCG, KPMG, Deloitte, Accenture and the like.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences @Kchoi. They're a lot helpful. I am really thankful for you
please don't stop😊 keep uploading videos about careers and your lifestyle
thank you for the support 😭
and how it's like being a women in corporate world make a video plz
🥰🥰🥰 thank you for sharing this precious infomation ! So fruitful
aw thank you!!
I would love to know how you answer common interview questions! I don't expect in any way, shape or form, that you would give us your answers specifically, but maybe you have some ideas on how to formulate an answer to questions like, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
Hi maam . Can you make a video on LinkedIn . How to use and boost it up
such a high quality content. Thank you!
LOOVE UUUU from JAPAN
I admire the high degree of openness and inclusiveness in Western society where exchanging between different roles throughout solid related experience or compelling reasons is so welcomed.
By contrast in Eastern society but not specifically saying recruiters always want to look for people with 100% matched in working background and past experience to the current recruiting job in which even 10% unmatched is not accepted. And now recruiters can even easily find people they want with that kind of background by using screening tools in job search platform instead of screening by CVs. Their mindsets are more or less conservative and resist to change under mild and affordable risks.
As a result, people are hard to make role switch in that context even though they can present skills needed and potential benefits like bringing in diversity or chances or strengthening resistivity to recruiters. Unless the role switching opportunity is bringing by acquaintance.
such an interesting point... on a related note, one of the benefits of the US college system is that there's more flexibility in choosing your major (like you can change your major several times and usually still graduate on time), so i guess it makes sense that jobs and career switches would be similar! not sure what that part is like in eastern or asian cultures.
Love these videos !
Looking forward to your social media interview!
Coming on Tuesday!
ME TOO =D
This is a really great video! Thanks for making it
thank you so much!
Thank you for this amazing content 🙌
thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for featuring my question regarding internships! Loving your content!
hope it helped!!
Been lovin' the content on this channel :)
thank you! :))
Thanks so much for posting this very educative and inspiring video. I particularly like the part of the one year gap, something I am really looking at as future option. As per idea for next videos, how to tailor made you resume for a job application in consulting would be nice. Thanks also for you IG story on how you are editing your video, it was super fun and educative to look at it. Take care, keep safe and well.
Thanks for the ideas and for always supporting my channel! :)
kchoi thanks to you and for the amazing quality content you are posting on this channel. It is always a treat to look at your posts. Looking forward for more. Take care and stay safe
Super helpful !
Love your Videos
thanks for watching! :)
Commercial Consulting vs Federal Consulting would be good for the audience
These videos are so helpful! Especially with the change of jobs. Wanted to ask about your visa/tax situation when you were studying in London and also doing RUclips, did your visa allow for both?
I was fine since I wasn’t earning enough to be taxed! My student visa allowed me to have a job up to X number of hours a week, so I also had a part time job during my second semester.
Omg!! Thanks for replying :)
thank you!
Love your content
thank you!!
kchoi thank YOU for the videos. They have been helping me in a way you didn’t intend. There are many aspects to learn and grow in.
Am I late to ask a question: ways to get into management consulting with a non-target school degree?
What's the best source to practise consulting cases for interview?
I have a business degree but I've always loved economics and finance. Do you think I should go to grad school and focus on one of those areas, or try to go get a bachelors in order to strenghten my knowledge bases? It's quite a mighty jump to go from biz to econ.
Depends on what your career goal is I guess? Maybe I’m not familiar enough with all the nuances but it feels like you would be able to get the job you want with a business degree + relevant work experience - but I’m not sure!
I'm decided now to change my career from accounting to management consulting
As all my internship and my first work was related to accounting career but I didn't found my self after all
All my experience for consulting was a course I took through my final year at collage if you can advise me how can I start and develop my self in this career ??
I watch your video about how to be consulting and it's really described my mess ideas to start and what all I through tell now
I'm really hope to answer me
Is being a consultant different as being an engagement manager position ?
Yaaaay!! ✨
🙌
👍thank you for sharing this :)
thanks for watching!
You are superb
what do you think of salesforce? is it a good opportunity to do my intership there?
i don't know too much about their culture or anything, but i know a couple people who work/worked there and i think enjoyed it/learned a lot! i really don't know though 😅
What's your opinion on applying for business school during COVID? I was originally planning on applying for the 2021 intake in France but now I'm not sure since there's no guarantee whether the situation would be completely resolved by the time I graduate.
I think I would just make sure to have good communication and understand what the options might be if you for some reason need to defer your start date. But I’m sure all universities are focusing on dealing with the upcoming fall 2020 semester and nobody has any idea what things will look like in a year to a year and a half! I also really hope things would resolve by the time you would graduate (im assuming 2023)!!
@@bykchoi Thanks for the reply! I'll have to weigh my options a little bit more but I think you're right that we should have an optimistic view of the future!
Are internships necessary to get a job as a management consultant for newbies
I didn't go straight from undergrad to management consulting, so I can't speak from experience, but from what I've seen, internships are super important for securing a full-time offer after college (even if it's not at the same firm).
Would luv to follow u on LinkedIn
