You and Steph&Den’s channels are my favorite! So much valuable information for me who eventually wants to break into consulting after grad school :)

Great video! I really agree with what your friend said at 14:06, people create this illusion of what working for these companies are like and it’s can be a letdown. I live in an area where Big 4 is huge and everyone wants to work there. After being exposed to that world for over a year it really isn’t all that great to be in. This is just my personal opinion .Big 4 experience will be different for everyone.

Do you have a podcast? If not, you should definitely start one!

So great to see YouTube videos highlighting on the consulting careers! Wish I had these back in college. First then big 3, and then the big 4! Have you considered interviewing a consultant from Accenture? I’m a tech consultant at Accenture, and I also have a YouTube channel focusing on technology consulting as well!

So glad to see other consultants on YouTube and showing people how fruitful this career is! We need more on YouTube! ❤️ I follow both you and Steph & Den!

Banking wasn't for me either Den! Awesome video and interesting to learn more about your role as a CPA consultant in terms of looking at the finance function! Not a lot of info on the web about this and think this was fantastic!

Hi, Kristina! I love all your videos which are so helpful for those who are looking for a career in consulting. Recently, I'm struggling with Consulting Resume. Are there any tips for it? I'd be happy if you could share some advice in the next video.

Hey! Do you need to graduate from the target schools or is a college education accepted. I'm asking because the course that I've taken is health information management. It focuses in informatics business and anatomy. I was hoping that this would have me stand out.

Hello, I am from India and am pursuing my management studies here. I am not having great grades in my schooling and have decent grades in my undergrad. I am pursuing MBA from a tier 1 B school here. I have prior work ex in Marketing and also as a consultant with reputed firms. I also am having international recognition as my extra circulars. Looking at my profile would bad grades affect my chances to get recruited by the Big4 consulting firms?

[maryloumartinez]

I stumbled on your page while I’m currently working on my capstone for starting a consulting firm. I would really love some of your feedback on that if you have the time! Or point me to the right videos or articles if you have already touched on that :) thank you!
