How I Became A Consultant Despite Being A [Terrible] Student

You are so much more than what your grades or experience say about you, remember it.

In this video, I share my journey through University from when I decided to become a Consultant, more than 3 years ago to when I actually became one.

Despite starting off University with the worse grades possible, and no experience, I have achieved my goal. The formula I used is repeatable and that's what I explain in the video.

Hopefully, you can achieve your career goal as well!

Be clear about what you really want, even if you're not 100% sure, write it down and divide that goal into small & achievable steps.

This "simple" strategy got me interviews at the Big 4 Firms (Deloitte, KPMG and PwC, EY didn't have any job postings at that time), IBM, Sunlife, Gorilla Group and more during my last semester even if I didn't have the best grades nor the best internships on my CV (I had none lol).

Dude mad respect for you for putting forward such an informative video.

Cannot agree more with this! Similar to you, I thought I lacked the relevant experience to get my foot through the corporate industry. Turns out these big firms look for students/graduates who are willing to learn, and groom them into successful consultants. I’m blessed enough to have had the opportunity to join one of the big 4 in AU

This just gave me hope! Got a rejection this morning on my summer internship application from one of the Top 3 despite them being impressed with all my achievements and high grades. There's a season and reason for everything. Thank you Mahdi.

I started at one of the big 4 as a consultant without a master degree 2 years ago.... I first thought it's was a glitch in their program when scanning CV's, but they were just more interested in me as a person than in my degree. I took an analytical test, did an interview and I could start. Now they are supporting me to get my master degree because clients are not that forward thinking yet....

[siddhantkadam]

Seriously the best audience engagement as well as informative video ever. Hats‘s off dude !

[Baddycoda]

[jdj]

I went to watch this video because of the information but in the end I feel really inspired by your story, thanks!

[anshrawat]

Being a TERRIBLE student and aspiring to become a consultant one very fine day. I am really confused what to do next and having self-doubt but your video did motivated me. So, THANK YOU soooo much you can't even imagine how much important this video is for me. I will definitely update you with my journey hopefully I will give a good news. ❤😊

[fusiongamingnetwork]

As a former consultant I can say your advice is spot on. Great video and good luck with your consulting career!

[petrusgimbad]

Well done for your tenacity. Any work for that matter, unless you are passionate about it and you see purpose in the bigger end game, you won't last especially in Consulting

asking questions is always key to thrive in the material you’re studying in economics, marketing, science and tech

[madelyngenao]

Awesome video! I have a very similar experience. Grades don’t dictate who you are as a person... grit and passion do!

Thank you so much. Currently, I am looking for a job at Big 4. Despite the career counselor giving me a frown face, I still have hope after watching your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[jasjot]

one the videos that actually makes some sense and is helpful. Good work!!!!

[kandarpghag]

Great video man. I interviewed big 4 firm for Assistant Manager, first round was with Manager where she asked me questions based on situation and problem solving. I passed. In second round with Associate Director he asked me similar problem. Again my Business understanding was great as per him. But he didn't ask me anything about my leadership style, my people management etc. Anyways thanks for this video.

[aishazafar]

Awesome video. Highly inspiring! Very happy you achieved your goal.

[andreasecchia]

Loved it. Great process. That's what is called Growing as a person.

[ArunKumar-qsgc]

[jonathanandersson]

Great video with such relevant information about application, goals, action! You fixed in your mind what you wanted, and then got it. Big respect, you’re animal!💪🏻
