Lmk any other questions.. I answer [almost] ALL comments!!! 🤠 Hope you guys like the starfish from Nemo (Peach) as much as I do 🍑

[ericdiemer]

They way you talk and carry yourself is very impressive. Keep pumping out content

[altrain]

I’ve worked in finance for 8 years now and this was probably one of the most helpful videos I found. It’s really rare to find someone this honest about their comp and work/life balance. You rock Taylor!

[robdog]

Consulting is a good opportunity to gain broad experience, maturity, and the money to then do your own thing after wards. Some consultants leave to pursue their passions afterwards, be it working at startups, fitness training, art, medicine, restaurant and are very successful

[toniodejimi]

As someone who has no interest in business or consulting, your videos are super interesting and informative! Your personality is honestly what keeps me coming back. Your apartment is a dream and it motivates me to work hard to get something like that in a few years. Keep working hard, your job seems hard!

[PoonamSingh-ltmv]

Taylor, as partner at a large consulting firm, I have to tell you that your video is so well done - your candour, attitude, wit and positivity will take you places. And, PS: don’t rule out making partner :)

[subtleamytraits]

From one consultant to another, totally agree with your answers :) thanks for shedding light on this industry for others!!

[azizunnisaspokenenglishpra]

I am from a non-English speaking country as was searching for some American blogger. I happened to found you and you motivated me to work in this field. Well hope for the best and thanks to your good sense of humor and diverse vocabulary, I'll come back again to watch you. Stay motivated and keep motivating bub.

[AbhishekDasSangReal]

Hey Taylor. Your story is cool. As someone who is graduating next month and will be joining one of the Big 4 soon I can relate to most things which you were storytelling, especially about starting a consulting role post-COVID. You have also inspired me to start my own journey on Youtube. Keep up the good work! More positivity, more content.

[waleedmasood]

This is such a great video!! Thank you for answering my question and everyone else’s. All your videos have been so insightful and just keep pushing me towards consulting!

One of the best things about consulting is that as you rise through the ranks you actually gain more and more independence. A partner may check in with a director a couple of times a week, but for the most part the director is running the gig. You have no manager looking over your shoulder every moment of the day. In my experience if the client is happy, work is being delivered and is high quality, and the client is paying the bills, you can be a director and partners pretty much will leave you alone while they focus on selling work to new clients. Once you gain that independence/autonomy and have been in consulting for a long time, it is difficult or impossible to go work in corporate where you have to report to an office and direct manager every day. That is why many who are in for a long time end up becoming consulting lifers.

This is so interesting. Thank you! Also, I just found your channel yesterday but I'm so glad I did because I'm always happy to see Youtubers who have actual jobs. Find this so much more relatable. Thank you for speaking about your salary. I'm German but I'm always curious what people in other parts of the word - and especially in NYC - earn. So thank you! Great video!

[douglaspmcgee]

I hope to see you grow swiftly and become a staple in the business side of youtube. As an accounting major (previously business admin) I love exploring different aspects of business to understand how the train moves as a whole. Also I just love learning about different stuff so i find this to be educational thank you for adding value in a fun and entertaining way. looking forward to your growth on youtube

[SherylSpeaks]

This is a great overview of our industry Taylor! I manage a consulting firm, and I enjoy learning how other consultants forged their path in our dynamic industry. Looking forward to more videos about your journey!

Accidentally found your channel and I love it! As a business student planning to go into consulting, your videos are super helpful. Love the NYC vibes too 😊

[shafiqgyagenda]

great video Taylor, I love how articulate you are. I also appreciated the small humorous nuggets you dropped throughout the video, like the hierachy structure depicting characters from the office. such a neat touch.

[Omar-kjpf]

Recently came across your channel, and it's been amazing. Thanks for being so comprehensive and honest. Love the office references btw. Keep up the great work!

[arianasherman]

I’m glad I found your channel! Even though I’m not in the consulting field, your content is super engaging and your editing is hilarious. Here’s to your continued YouTube growth!!

[danmcbride]

This was a brilliant breakdown of your background and career path. You are very qualified and you have a very quick Witt and a great sense of humour. I enjoy your channel and I wish you every success and good health.

[starreachsocietybw]
