(Sorry if anything’s missing I mean well - comment disappeared as the next video started playing, had thankfully copied and saved part of the original comment so fingers crossed that this here hopefully quote unquote does the job so to speak and yeah). Hello Kajol, Sorry I’m self conscious but I mean well (I’ve been avoiding people and social media related websites over the years while in hospital, on the streets and/or in the care system for depression related problems). I don’t have an excuse for this belated comment/message attempt but rightly and/or wrongly I came across the online videos you’ve been working on over the years about a week or two ago I think and/or a few days ago. Sorry I’m feeling clumsy but I mean well. I don’t normally comment on videos but have specifically logged into the RUclips system to comment specifically on your RUclips channel. I don’t want to jinx it or anything but I get the impression that your RUclips channel has a lot of merit for anyone and anyone remotely interested in any kind of consulting, white collar job or any kind of graduate work related guidance in general. I feel that your channel’s especially good for the hard working youngsters from the more disadvantaged, poorer and blue collar backgrounds who traditionally don‘t have the guidance, mentoring or information needed to be able to break into the world of internships, the city or graduate work in general. I can’t make any promises or anything like that but I’ve just spoken to a youngster among my relatives who said that they’re feeling interested in consulting after having finished their masters and have recommended your RUclips channel to them. I’ve also recommended them to comment on your videos as well if they sincerely like the information in them and have also tried to explain how and why those comments can be so highly sought after by those in the social media world. I can heart on heart say that having had access to your RUclips channel during my years of trying to get internships in the city could have definitely helped out in a meaningful way. I myself got burnt over the years and I don’t want to jinx it or anything but I feel that you’ve got a lot of excellent potential to make the best of your life in this world and help a lot of people in a meaningful way while you’re at it - be it with or without your target school, big name firm or RUclips channel so fingers crossed! Also, sorry if this comes across as patronising or anything but, I hope that you’re safe so to speak during lockdown times. In case you’re wondering and/or it helps as some kind of peace of mind Kajol, things aren’t ideal per say (e.g. people died and stuff in the literal sense over the years before lockdown took over society) but I’m safe (and now seem to feel desensitised to various things). Also just remembered Kajol, I get the impression that on top of the information in the video, you’ve also made a solid effort on the personal presentation, video editing and eloquent communication side of things. Also really well done on the custom thumbnails, video text and recommended links as well - I’ve taken print screens of video descriptions with recommended consulting books and sent them to the younger relative I recommended your RUclips channel to. Also Kajol, I appreciated the sincere authenticity in the video itself e.g. about forming human bonds at work, avoiding taking on too many things at once and the idea of hopefully getting to be comfortable at work. Last but not least Kajol, in case I don’t ever get to say this to you in person then I want you to know that I’m proud of you so to speak Kajol - because you’re one of us from summer school! Keep up the good work Kajol! Raza :) UNIQ Summer School/Physical Sciences taster course/Lady Margaret Hall buddy from 2011.
Raza!!! Oh my gosh, it's been so so long. How have you been? I hope all is good now and you're feeling stronger and healthier 😊 Thank you so so much for going out of your way to log in and leave me this incredibly kind message. You've articulated yourself so well so please do not feel 'clumsy'! Thank you so much, your words mean the world to me and hopefully your family member enjoys it. Here's hoping no matter your background, status or ethnicity, we all have the same opportunities and access to information. I'm trying to not get burnt out as well to be honest, handling this with a full time job is difficult so I try to take my breaks and re-charge. I hope you're not burnt out any more and learnt to deal with it. I'm still learning! Not patronising at all and so sorry to hear about the losses you've faced.

In a nutshell 1. Do the right things that'll get you promoted. 2. Don't focus too much on promotion, its the learning that ultimately matters. 3. Don't put all eggs into one basket, work with many different leaders. 4. Be authentic even in your workplace. 5. Don't be a people pleaser, learn to say no. 6. Don't go chasing the senior leadership, make meaningful friendships even with colleagues at the same level. 7. Have a professional opinion about the projects you work on, you never know if it is game-changing. 8. Importance of work-life balance.
Going to start working once I graduate in 2021. Looking forward to it after watching this :) My favourite pieces: 1) P2P networking 2) Worklife balance
can I just say, I joined banking this year and I have so far made EVERY SINGLE ONE of those mistakes..... currently in probably 4/8 of them. the only comfort I have now is that I've found your channel at my tenth month and not fourth year lol. Thanks Kajol !
@@KajolPhadnis 1. There’re people who just plain standout and shine in everything.. sometimes I’m sick with jealousy and it significantly affects my attitude and quality of work 2. How to build trust with your boss or team after it’s been broken .. like after you’ve had a season of poor performance how to pick yourself back up in a way that can make your people build trust in you 3. Being a woman around men lol! I know it sounds small but I’ve seriously struggled with being either too serious, too feminine or just too young! #millennial 4. We’re in a high pressure environment all year, and I’m not always motivated to work or get things done… how do you ensure your performance is not severely influenced by moods and external circumstances. 5.

I hope these opinion points are understandable… I’d appreciate videos on the same ❤️ thanks Kajol
I discovered your videos through Afzal Hussein, love them ! Especially this one, very insightful. Hope you’ll do more like this, it helps me a lot to prepare myself for my first internship !
Hey Kajol, just found you through Matt's Slack Community! Your channel is awesome! I completely agree with you - understanding what actually gets you promoted is so key and a lot of people (including me 😅) had to figure that out after waay too much blood sweat and tears on things that didn't actually count!
100% agree, Network, learn, understand career progressions, and be true to yourself, but most importantly utilization. I maintained 95% utilization and ended up manager. Its a very difficult career choice but the benefits down the track. A manager cant know everything and relies on their people speaking up. Did not understand that until I was a manager. Speaking up is very important. Flew 12 hours a week and did 50 hours work on top of that. Burnout is something we all go through. Hope you are doing well.
I just got hired at Deloitte Consulting in US. I'm an experienced hire as a Sr Consultant and I think most of us are always overcoming the learning curve most of our careers.
Hi Kajol, thank you for making this video. I've just received an offer to join Deloitte Digital, London office next Autumn and this video has taught me so much. Lovely to know your channel and wish to meet you in person soon!
@@KajolPhadnis Work life balance, I was sold this at college/university and my engagement to be career driven. I thought work to live and live to work. Unless, work was your passion. I used to work really hard and realised I am just a cog in the system.
Great video. I had a VERY rocky start and felt it was hard keeping up with everything while working. You’ve done well for yourself Best knowledge I would give to people joining is talk talk TALK and network with quality people and make great business relations. It helps in the short and long game
Great advice though one point where we may not always agree would be the one where you advise against keeping business and life separate. As someone working at Accenture who has from time to time worked on shared accounts with Deloitte (not as uncommon as it sounds in consulting) I actually feel that compartmentalizing who I am at work separately from the man I am when I'm at home with my family and friends has actually allowed me to set better boundaries, avoid diluting my sense of self and avoid tainting my professional reputation with my quirky nature and sense of humor that I know for a fact would do me more harm than good in the politics of the consulting business. I love my job. Am I a bit fake at work? You bet! I like to think of improv acting as part of the core consulting skillset and it's enjoyable to play a different character.
Totally get it about setting better boundaries, I feel for me...it created boundaries between myself and my work colleagues...which led to more distant relationships. Think your sense of humour makes you, you! Haha, we can be great actors for sure 😂 Thanks for the refreshing view!!
Thank you Kajol, really insightful, especially from a UK perspective. I'm afraid of breaking all of these rules on day one... eeek 😬 Can I please ask what constitutes as extra curricular activities?
I was the co-chair of the disability network at my employer and it helped my bonus. But indirectly helped me get promoted too - lots more exposure to senior people and opportunities to learn and demonstrate leadership skills.
Oh wow, amazing. For me it gave me skills to help my promotion but didn't really affect my bonus I would say. Interesting and tbh expected as most firms work differently!! Defo agree, it kickstarts your career in a way and helps you find new opportunities.
Why haven't I come across your channel before....I am going to blame Ytube for that 😀....I completely could relate to all that you have said and i now know where I am going wrong.🙃
Hi Kajol, thank you so much for the honesty, humour and insightfulness of your video!! Networking, staffing, utilization, promotion, and other key office relations are all such important areas that we have to figure out on our own, thus the video was so helpful. Also selling your soul to RUclips 🤣🤣
Can you make a video please on how much you can expect to earn in the Big4 including the bonuses. That would be interesting to hear and I believe at the same time would get a lot of views too 😊 Thanks in advance 😉👍
Thank you very much for sharing this Kajol. It was really insightful. Few suggestions in terms of editing: 1 - It would be great if you can put text as well when you are speaking about a particular point and provide timestamp in the comment section. It just makes visually appealing for the viewers and easy to understand. You have done this in your previous videos. 😊 Btw I really like the thumbnail. 👍
@kajol would like to see you make videos on how Deloitte technology consulting is in India . Like life in a day, work culture, and how it is different from what you have experienced in the uk or us.
Very dependent which country, what project you're working on. You're working at least 8.30 to 6pm and often don't finish till much later. If there's not much to do you can even finish at 4pm - just dependent on timeliness and work needed to be done!
@@gpmuthuofficial7709 urmmm depends on the client...some clients will want us to work from home, others like my current client want us to work together:)
Hey, any idea what this role entails: Digital Advisor (Early 2022)? Can't seem to find any details on the Deloitte website. Appreciate any info. Thanks a bunch. Also, the work sounds too grueling. Are the hours dogshit? I am gifted, but I want a life and hobbies. Is it possible to go to the gym, read and do other things in your spare time?
Thanks for a really informative video. I'm gonna start my first job as an analyst in Deloitte. Is there anything I should put more focus into? Or any advice that would be helpful for me when I start working there? It'll mean a lot. Thank you.
Thank you so much for making these videos . So much to learn ! I wanted to ask a quick question. For my upcoming interview If asked to 'Tell about myself' and 'Why leave current role' should I mention the role Ive recently moved into at my current company (changed 2 months ago).If yes, how should I bring it so that its seen as positive.Also this wasn't on the cv I sent to this company. PS: Not a job hopper been at the company for over 4 years. Thanks
It depends why you moved into the role, was it to gain experience or how can you use that experience to help you in consulting? I think it's fine to bring it up but turn it into how it led you into consulting / why you're best fit for consulting
@@KajolPhadnis Thanks ! Its only around the time I applied for this job (Im getting interviewed for) when I moved internally . Reason being it was different to what I was already doing kinda lateral move. But yeah makes sense to mention what Ive learnt from it so far . Would it beok to say work wise its different to what I was told like not much customer interaction and thats what I miss the most Thanks
Hi kajol actually i have been selected for deloitte in india. What if i had to work abroad in the same company is there any criteria or something like that could you please response????
I think technology consulting sits in management consulting but assuming you mean difference in operations vs technology? There's a big difference in the work you do, the tools you use and the methods
my friend just completed engineering and was placed in deliotte . Its eligibility criteria is 60% aggregate in graduation. After his final year result, short of just 0.29% in aggregate. Is it considerable or should he consider offer to be withdrawn?
@@KajolPhadnis means there is no issue with percentage because lots of people says that your percentage is 59.89 so you will be kick out to the company 😔😔

Hello Kajol,

I don’t want to jinx it or anything but I get the impression that your RUclips channel has a lot of merit for anyone and anyone remotely interested in any kind of consulting, white collar job or any kind of graduate work related guidance in general.

I love my job. Am I a bit fake at work? You bet! I like to think of improv acting as part of the core consulting skillset and it's enjoyable to play a different character.
Totally get it about setting better boundaries, I feel for me...it created boundaries between myself and my work colleagues...which led to more distant relationships. Think your sense of humour makes you, you!
Haha, we can be great actors for sure 😂 Thanks for the refreshing view!!
The most important thing for promotions in consulting is proactivity and communication skills. Everything else is a side show.
it's defo important but ruclips.net/video/mb4LHK4wAQg/видео.html covers all of them :)
Thank you Kajol, really insightful, especially from a UK perspective. I'm afraid of breaking all of these rules on day one... eeek 😬 Can I please ask what constitutes as extra curricular activities?
Ahhh at work you can do side projects etc and that's extracurricular activities
Really really helpful advice!
I was the co-chair of the disability network at my employer and it helped my bonus. But indirectly helped me get promoted too - lots more exposure to senior people and opportunities to learn and demonstrate leadership skills.
Oh wow, amazing. For me it gave me skills to help my promotion but didn't really affect my bonus I would say. Interesting and tbh expected as most firms work differently!! Defo agree, it kickstarts your career in a way and helps you find new opportunities.
Thank you for this amazing tips. I will be joining deloitte next week. Please guide me ☺️
Why haven't I come across your channel before....I am going to blame Ytube for that 😀....I completely could relate to all that you have said and i now know where I am going wrong.🙃
Hi Kajol, thank you so much for the honesty, humour and insightfulness of your video!! Networking, staffing, utilization, promotion, and other key office relations are all such important areas that we have to figure out on our own, thus the video was so helpful. Also selling your soul to RUclips 🤣🤣
Haha thank you!! Now that I've sold my soul, I'm like whatever is going to happen...will happen :P Just gotta say it real hehe
Kajol, remember meeting you at Imperial - great videos!
Hahaha was a completely different person then 😁😂 Hope you're all good!!!
It's almost like female version of me is featured in this video, I've learnt all these things the hard way while working with Deloitte.
I regret nothing
What are average salary levels for management consultants?
Thank you.
Can you make a video please on how much you can expect to earn in the Big4 including the bonuses. That would be interesting to hear and I believe at the same time would get a lot of views too 😊 Thanks in advance 😉👍
I will try - need to get that signed off with the firm but in the meantime, Glassdoor is very very accurate :)
@@KajolPhadnis Thank you :) I will check then over there ;)
KAJOL!!!!! Why did you take so long to pop into my RUclips recommendations???!!!!
I'm here now haha 🤗
Does DELOITTE india offer higher study program like Masters in Liverpool university 🇬🇧 ?
Omggggg the people pleaser one is me being SEEN 🥵🥵🥵 I’m channelling saying no more often in 2021! Great video and very jel of Korean bbq 😃
I defo learnt saying no the hard way haha. Thanks soo much for watching 🥰🥰🥰 Come round for some when you're down in Londres x
Being a people pleaser didn’t do me much benefits
Me neither, gave me more stress :P
Loved it!!!
Thank you for watching and happy it helped!
Your accent is awesome 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you very much for sharing this Kajol. It was really insightful. Few suggestions in terms of editing:
1 - It would be great if you can put text as well when you are speaking about a particular point and provide timestamp in the comment section. It just makes visually appealing for the viewers and easy to understand.
You have done this in your previous videos. 😊
Btw I really like the thumbnail. 👍
Yep will do that - wanted to trial what works and doesn't haha but glad you told me. Will go back to that :)
@kajol would like to see you make videos on how Deloitte technology consulting is in India . Like life in a day, work culture, and how it is different from what you have experienced in the uk or us.
unfortunately not worked in India so no idea!
thankss
You're so bueatifully smart. 😘❤️🤓
😊 thank you
@@KajolPhadnis Sorry for the spelling error. Watching your videos now.
What should be ideal worktime for Sr Consultant in Deloitte .. How many works they need to work ?
Very dependent which country, what project you're working on. You're working at least 8.30 to 6pm and often don't finish till much later. If there's not much to do you can even finish at 4pm - just dependent on timeliness and work needed to be done!
@@KajolPhadnis Thanks and One more question. Do we need to goto client office everyday ... Any Work from Home options ... After Post Pandemic ???
@@gpmuthuofficial7709 urmmm depends on the client...some clients will want us to work from home, others like my current client want us to work together:)
@@KajolPhadnis Thanks... Any IDea how much the salary would be for a Sr. Consultant who is 11 YOE.... I got selected .. need to negotiate the salary
Hey, any idea what this role entails: Digital Advisor (Early 2022)? Can't seem to find any details on the Deloitte website. Appreciate any info. Thanks a bunch. Also, the work sounds too grueling. Are the hours dogshit? I am gifted, but I want a life and hobbies. Is it possible to go to the gym, read and do other things in your spare time?
Thanks for a really informative video. I'm gonna start my first job as an analyst in Deloitte. Is there anything I should put more focus into? Or any advice that would be helpful for me when I start working there? It'll mean a lot. Thank you.
ruclips.net/video/GP4WVnkypS4/видео.html - network network network hehe
What is permanent contract vs full time in big fours? Is there any difference .?
Dear ma'am can a normal b.sc graduate join this firm ? Any hope for a simple graduate to be part of a big MNC company
i dont like my assigned project, should I leave company or change project, if latter then how?
All of us make mistakes early one:-)
god, tell me about it - using it to fuel me but push me down hehe.
After giving manager round, how much time to get the feedback from Deloitte?. If rejected in the manager round shall we get rejected mail immediately?
Thank you so much for making these videos . So much to learn ! I wanted to ask a quick question. For my upcoming interview If asked to 'Tell about myself' and 'Why leave current role' should I mention the role Ive recently moved into at my current company (changed 2 months ago).If yes, how should I bring it so that its seen as positive.Also this wasn't on the cv I sent to this company. PS: Not a job hopper been at the company for over 4 years. Thanks
It depends why you moved into the role, was it to gain experience or how can you use that experience to help you in consulting? I think it's fine to bring it up but turn it into how it led you into consulting / why you're best fit for consulting
@@KajolPhadnis Thanks ! Its only around the time I applied for this job (Im getting interviewed for) when I moved internally . Reason being it was different to what I was already doing kinda lateral move. But yeah makes sense to mention what Ive learnt from it so far . Would it beok to say work wise its different to what I was told like not much customer interaction and thats what I miss the most
Thanks
Is it possible to transfer from Deloitte India to Deloitte UK? If so, how?
Who are the six people who disliked the videos ? Probably who were waiting for the 6 extra curricular activities you took up ?😁
What is a solution analyst at Deloitte?
Hi kajol actually i have been selected for deloitte in india.
What if i had to work abroad in the same company is there any criteria or something like that could you please response????
I wouldn't give this bird a start in primark cleaning. Nevermind a law firm. Useless.
how much difference is there between management consulting and technology consulting in deloitte?
I think technology consulting sits in management consulting but assuming you mean difference in operations vs technology? There's a big difference in the work you do, the tools you use and the methods
my friend just completed engineering and was placed in deliotte . Its eligibility criteria is 60% aggregate in graduation. After his final year result, short of just 0.29% in aggregate. Is it considerable or should he consider offer to be withdrawn?
should still be fine :)
@@KajolPhadnis means there is no issue with percentage because lots of people says that your percentage is 59.89 so you will be kick out to the company 😔😔
I know people in the UK Firm it happened to and they weren't but might differ depending on circumstances etc
Kajol you are so beautiful...!!
Too kind!!
madam ji kuch hindi be bol liya karo
You want my advice. Never work for others. That's your biggest mistake
