I’m an incoming consultant! Good to know travel is back

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.

Love the Chicago view at 4:51. Nice shot!

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 would love to see more vlogs like this man!

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.

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!

Super interesting bro! Enjoyed watching and keep up the good work 😁

This was a surprisingly great video, I loved it!

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.

I like how he pasted that McK sticker on the thumbnail when he isnt working at the firm lol

[justinabenson]

living vicariously through you. Praying My dream of being a consultant becomes reality soon lol.

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.

[davegriffith]

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!

[Nite_coder]

still have no clue what consultants actually do lol

[dmd]

Lol that legendary table full of take outs and chargers😂

[glrxyous]

Could you maybe do a video on how to get into healthcare consultant as a recent grad? Advice and tips for recent grads? Thank you
