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?
As a previous consultant, consulting is the quintessential “fake it til you make it” career. Imagine someone telling you how to improve something that they’ve actually never done in their career and putting it in a pretty deck, that’s literally consulting.
I appreciate your honesty. As the client-facing change mgmt lead on many entetprise initiatives, I worked alongside consultant teams who were brought on to help augment my heavy workload. It was very frustrating to know the consultants made sooooo much money to simply build decks and delivetable "fluff", as I called it. I am highly detailed, so I would really sit and analyze the documentation that was submitted for review. It didn't hit the mark, in terms of having strong content for users to follow. It was slick looking, though! Funny enough, I've I had project leads from the consultant side approach me about coming on board, but I politely declined. Working like a Hebrew slave was not on my list of career goals! LOL
A fresh set of eyes and experiences from all types of businesses is always better than than the two you have. If you’re seeking consultation, you’re out of ideas…that doesn’t take into account what type of background each consultant has…finance, accounting, marketing, etc.
Make no mistake, they know that you're faking it. They're hiring consultants so that they can offload responsibility/blame onto you whenever they have to justify a bad decision in front of their employers, shareholders or fellow executives.
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.
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
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.
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.
Appreciate the video. I had Deloitte on my radar but I’m a husband and father of three with one child having special needs. Seeing this I just don’t think this is the place for me, and that’s OK.
Hey! I really enjoyed this video and loved how you were genuine from the get go. You showing the realities of being a consultant without trying to impress your viewers definitely kept me wanting to know more from you! Maybe in a future video you could talk more about what you do and how you do it? Consulting looks interesting for me to pursue after undergrad, but I'd love to know what it means to be consultant; the challenges of the job itself and how you face them. Obviously, I wouldn't expect you to reveal confidential data of your clients, but I guess examples would help. Perhaps clips of you post-meeting, reflecting on the meeting itself ("this client approached me with xyz problem, so we probed more, it was confusing, so we talked to the team.." or so). I believe this would give viewers like me a better indicator of what consultants do. Anyways, thank you for the video, looking forward to more!
Appreciate how honest this video is on typical travel weeks. I tend to go until after dinner most days, especially when I’m booked on client sites, but unless you’re a morning person, my alarm is hopefully set for 7 something!
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.
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?
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?
My personal take on becoming a consultant is as follows. I’m a consultant by the way so I hope I help you. If not please let me know where I was unclear & I’ll gladly clarify. To become a consultant …become intermediate level in a field or tool, I promise when you get to a point where you consider yourself being intermediate, that could equivalent to expert level for potential employers. Meaning your value goes up exponentially by knowing how to use a product, automate processes, being able to speak and teach on them, & continuous learning on said product. For me it was 14 years of experience with Sharepoint, specializing in a cornucopia of products within Microsoft Office Suite; which fall under the IT umbrella. Not just those but any fields that have consulting. Education is helpful, but not needed. I have a bachelors in psychology, associates in information management, so trust me education means squat. Bring something to the table that makes you the outlier as well. What’s your focus on whatever you specialize in. How can you use your skill set to help them. Also how have you used the skill set in the past to further prove your skills as well.
You work at mck? Seems like a super chill week tbh. You never worked after dinner once basically. I heard very different experiences from a friend at Bain
Thanks for the informative video! Genuine question: (You look like you are in great shape mA!) Do you have any tips on how to manage that with the hectic consulting lifestyle, especially where we don't seem to have much control over food options and gym schedules?
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.
@@gcs8889 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?
Thanks for sharing but excatly what "work" to consultants do? You did a great job showcasing your day but everytime you said get "work" done, you never really went into detail.
If I was still single/no kids I'd love to be a consultant. After working closely with consultants in my current position, I can say "no, thanks" ... smart, yes but you're literary busting your ass way harder than most ppl for exchange of $
I am not sure about the mirror, so I guess it is somethiing else to think about. What you were thinking + the context of what is in the mirror. If you think of work then also interpreted through a cartoon stimulus.
Where's the actual work tho? It really just looks like you're traveling and having fun while saying hi and people to random people. Where is the "work" the hard problems you're tasked to solve? Where is the stress? The urgency ? Anything that makes this job actually worth the pay you're getting.
Hello, I saw another one of your videos where you stated that consulting firms love hiring new graduates. I graduate in December and I’m having a rough time getting started. Can you please help me? I am willing to move wherever and do whatever it takes to be who a company needs me to be!
salaries for some firms here www.levels.fyi/company/AT-Kearney/salaries/Management-Consultant/Associate/ You usually get promoted to associate 2-3 years after being at a firm
@@IncomeOverOutcome 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?
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?
Hello! My name is Luis and I am starting business school this fall. I would like to ask you what computer you recommend not only for school but also for consulting/marketing or maybe even IB. I would greatly appreciate it if you were able to respond :)
Wow, and you still find time to make videos? I am feeling so underperforming right now. Hats off to you! Getting so much done in such little time! You have a great work ethic and your co workers seem so friendly! Good luck 😊
Sir, I heard that the employees of the consulting firms can take unpaid leave of one month in a year without reason... can someone choose the month of 1 month leave.. Or the month is previously decided by the company... Plz reply... Plz plz....
one of my goals in my career is to be a consultant too!! I work in the clinical trials industry and being a consultant is one of the options for me too!!! But need few more years to add to my experience!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for your videos they are very insightful. I would like to know How do women having kids work at consulting firms? Is it feasible? Does company provide any flexibility like hybrid work etc?
I am one of these. I work for Government clients since they tend to be clustered in the same area, and their contract terms and scope make for a better quality of life for me. I have three little kids and a husband with his own intense career. I’m home with them every evening and morning. It’s not easy but can be done.
Golden Question : How much time do you spend for RUclips ? Diamond Question : How much more can you improve your career if you stop shooting videos in awkward times and places and focus on your work ?
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)
Thank you so much this gave great insight into what it's like! I'm actually about to go into a consulting role full time so it was nice to see a genuine POV. Out of curiosity what firm is this?
This was the #1 MOST requested video I've had... hope you all enjoyed! Let me know what else I should make videos on!!!

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.
Right but this is clearly management consulting, which also happens to be clearly useless
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.
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.
what exaclty do you do?
You and me both pal. It was toxic soul crushing work and you became a generalist with no real skills. I also left the business.
I’m an incoming consultant! Good to know travel is back
It's one of the best parts of the job!
