Note

Why changing:
1. The effects of your decisions are much more visible and apparent
Problems at a higher level
2. Develop soft skills. Communication, social skill. Sell.
3. People interaction: clients, team
4. Opportunities on the long run

How to switch:
1. Hit up people in consulting from your school.
Books: case and point, case interview secrets
2. Practicing with people who do interviews
3. Apply

A lot of travels.
Consulting: work life balance can be hard.

I want to switch from consulting to software engineering for the exact reasons you mention. I don't want to be involved in politics I just like to solve problems in the best possible way.

[kenseichen]

Aye thank you for making this video! I’m in college right now and I’m at the point where I need to decide which path to take once I graduate

Exactly the same feelings I am having, I am a good developer and earning a good amount of money, but recently I realized this is not what I wanted to do for my entire life. I don't want to solve tech problems that are not going to help in my personal life rather than earning me money. Going a level high I want to solve real-life problems, and business problems this will definitely help me to improve my soft skills and will help me in building the business in the near future.

Your videos are really informative. Thanks, Arnold!

Consulting may be homogenous or heterogeneous, single or multi disciplinary. A Consulting Engineer handles different kind of works or plans or projects. That makes his life very exciting

[priyapatel]

Amazing .., I could resonate each word you said. I too want to switch from a software developer to a consultant or business analyst because of the exact reasons you just mentioned here. Could you please tell whether your developer experience got considered while applying as consultant or were you considered an absolute fewer as a consultant? Thanks ☺️

How come you stopped making videos. Your content is great.

Thank you for your sharing!
I'm wondering what is the difference between consulting vs PM.
what I understand is that with consulting, you are working on client's project. while as a PM, you are developing your company's own product.
and also, coming from an engineering background, would it be easier (more practical) to switch to tech consulting vs management consulting? what are the differences?

Hey Finance Explained! Love the video and have a question. I was wondering if there was a great disparity within software engineering and consulting compensation within Canada specifically?

You hint at this in your video but the examples you use are US.

As software engineering salaries are lower than US in Canada, I was expecting there to be less of a disparity between consulting and SE.

I am quality engineer who usually work with CRMs and customer and partner business streams mostly on product management. How do i get into consulting? I always think i can contribute more towards business development because i habe a different perspective at problem solving. Would love to learn startergies and other perspectives of consulting and business dev
