3:26, what's a Koreaboo?

This is the most transparent review I have come across, our experiences are very similar! I also kept my business aside and started side hustles, cause i was overworked and underpaid for working 9-11

I couldn’t be savage…lmao😂❤️thank you for this. I’m currently exploring D. Not in consulting though. My friends who work in consulting concur it’s not for everyone and it’s a real hustle and GRIND! However, for your team to expect you to not recalibrate emotionally and mentally during a company wide break is indicative of simply not being valued and you chose you and that could never be a wrong choice. Congrats.

Thank you for sharing! I quit my toxic workplace two month ago. Now I realized I took the the right decision .

Thank you for sharing your story!

"I couldn't be savage" my professional life in a nutshell

Omg😮 my name is Eunice

FUCK Deloitte ! My girlfriend was a consultant for Deloitte. Her superior would always come 10 minutes before the end of the shift with a mountain of work that would take at least 3 more hours to complete. She would insist that the work had to be finished for the next morning. At one time, my girlfriend realized that it was in fact no at all necessary for the next day and it was just bullying from the manager's part so she refused and went home. The next day she was called to human ressources where she got a warning. They never asked her side of the story or to explain herself, when she tried explaining the human ressources told her to shut up and just sign the paper saying that she received a warning for "behaviour not in line with company culture" or some BS like that. Needless to say, she didn't stay very long in that golden shithole.

I'm with Deloitte on a project with FDA. It's not the firm, it's the team you're in. I also heard an important factor on work longevity is to have a best friend at work.

Sounds like my old job. Management pushed us so hard to work. If we didnt produce, they didnt get a bonus. We would get punished for taking days off and goings on paid vacation. Time that we earned. Even if you had a legitimate complaint. They would give u extra work. Working there was like being in a cult and soon you would be the one they sacrificed next. When i.left it felt like I finally left a abusive relationship.

Hiring kids are the worst.

Hi! I currently am an employee of Deloitte. I to feel I'm missing joy and purpose. I have a channel on CZcams.. CorasTruth. I have a podcast... CorasTruth. I am looking to take this to the next level but can't figure out how to get paid to do what I love and purposed to do. Much success to you!

You’re so brave

Yeah, travel is there, but it's at manager discretion lol

Oh, mate, I have been in EY for a year..they are sly, very sly. They knew I have a technical background, so gave me tons of "copy paste" jobs. When I raised technical issues with managers, they shunned me and started sending feedback to the Partner lol I applied for mediation last week...

Currently working at Deloitte, and I am lucky enough to be remote. It really depends on the type of team you are apart of, and your manager. I definitely agree with the fights involving clients, but it definitely comes with the territory. Deloitte does pay well, and you really control your career to a certain degree. As for long hours, it all depends on the contract you are on. Also, yes there will be some fake people, but that’s at any job. People are scared of getting fired for being themselves so everyone puts on a front.

where is the video of people sleeping their way up?

I felt the same way. Thank you for the video

my take based on working in consulting for 7 years. pros; you get great exposure to many different companies / sectors. you learn and develop lots of skills including analysis and dealing with clients. cons; its a bit of a pyramid scheme, where you are told that if you work to death, sacrifice personal life, in some instances (tell the small lies to win bids), and put up with some of the toxic environment with backstabbing colleagues, favouritism (its run by partners, and the partners are like little kings and queens, and if they like you you rise if not, no chance). you can feel like a sellable resource, when the resourcing teams try and sell you for jobs (they act almost like pimps i felt just selling me to jobs sometimes without even asking me). for some its a great life, and it suits their personality and temperament. but i got tired of being sold to different clients as the 'expert' on something i knew little about, just because i was on the bench. i also got tired of being under pressure to deliver to unexpected deadlines that the partner had promised, working with lots of juniors who were from disparate backgrounds, emotional states, training and personal goals, to deliver something that was of high quality. sometimes there was no respect from the juniors to those below partners, as they did not see you as important in their career growth. so if you were in the middle between grad and partner, you sometimes got no respect from those above, nor from those below. but again its is very team dependant. if you are in a good team it can really be great. but most people did not want to kill themselves to be partner, and were looking to leave and join a firm in industry as a 'head of' type role.

Would love to hear some spicy Deloitte stories

Consulting doesn't seem sustainable for what my dreams in my life are right now. I would love to have a deep conversation with you about what I should do to map out my career and dreams in life. Where would be the best place to have a chat?

I love them hot IG chicks.

I will absolutely learn these morning routines.

Great message, love what you're doing with your life now Eunice. Moving from Deloitte was a great transition into something you're passion about and very much enjoy doing:-)).

So, happy to hear you weighted out you life from Deloitte to a wonderful Podcast channel. You seem so happy just listening to you speak about your life.

Eunice, great content love everything you're saying about working for consulting companies. Thank you:-))

What you are describing was a good position many would have liked to get. Most workplaces have toxicity none are perfect none . If you became a lawyer or doctor, etc, the hours and workplace are ALOT more stressful. Earning 6 figures and above is a privilege that most do not get.

I definitely want to hear the crazy stories! Some tea has been spilled but there is a lot left in the cup!

that thumbnail tho lol

It’s 1:00 am and I am on same boat.

I’m 54. I’ve had a Ph.D. for 20 years. I think I know exactly what I want to do finally!

It's so interesting that during my research for this career I came across so many consultant CZcamsrs who hyped up the life, and then after a few months passed they'd post how they quit/left. Just goes to show in-depth research is important cause if I just watched the videos that showed they were happy then I would still believe I wanted this career.

The big consultancies are insidious, poisoned places. They don’t care about the morality of the work they take on, they don’t care about being successful for the client, they certainly don’t care about the resources (people). They care about the money and they care about deepening their integration into organisations (fat, suckling pigs) and leveraging often corrupt business relationships to slice off more parts of the businesses they embed into. CONsultancy. The clue is in the name.

Pretty, smart but made mistake after mistake chasing Chad. Now, in early 30s and approaching the wall, she is tired of working as well

thanks for the info

Hey I got an offer recently from Deloitte and hesitating to jump or not.

Me ,24 years old fresh grad still lose way of finding passion whether choosing which career path in business filed(accounting, auditing , marketing or finance) .May I know how to find my passion like you at short time?

Coming from a product based super chill and fun company...i quit Big4 in just 3 months. I realised one should either choose Bug4 or Life! And i strongly believe this is a very subjective experience and could vary from person to person. Just wanted to share how I felt.

Thank you for sharing! I would be interested in learning more about your data science experience as I tried to learn this online and I was overwhelmed..to me statistics is the most difficult part

I really love you for this ! I’m a data engineering manager I’ve quit yesterday and can resonate with you like 💯 ! Now on my way up to find my mission and lead my life as it’s very finite ! 🥰 thanks again for this video !

So I have a question for you. I'm in my early forties and thought about applying to Deloitte so I came across your videos. After watching a few of them I am noticing a central theme. Happiness, fulfillment and whether or not you have achieved it. My question is, as a young Millennial, are you going after what will make you happy or what your peers and the media say will make you happy ? I can read your body language and it's not matching what your mouth is saying. I swear I don't mean that as an insult but it's more than obvious something is missing. I saw your video when you were taking advice from that girl about being thirty and the one about the four coffee ideas looking for approbation. Have you ever thought about having a baby ? Talk about having approval from someone in life, try someone you gave birth to. Drop instagram, Facebook and all that other fake nonsense about how great others have it start making your own memories with someone that will guaranteed love you back.I mentioned before I'm in my early forties and looking at Deloitte. It would be my first job in 15 years. That's because I had kids of my own and decided to be a stay at home father. I may have been broke that whole time but I still managed to feed my kids and keep a roof over their heads. Not to mention get them to school in the morning and take them to the park after. I figured I could always finish college and go back to work once they got older but I could never get the best years of their life back. It was tough but I made it work and It's been the ABSOLUTE GREATEST TIME OF MY LIFE. The billionaires workout, oatmeal lattes and and the quest for total enlightenment by Chopra are all superficial garbage. Meet a significant other if you haven't already and laugh. Laugh, have good sex, travel, argue and apologize so you can do it all over again. That's the real Ying and yang to happiness 🙂 I hate for this to sound preachy but I just wanted to let you in on what really made me happy. If I had one regret it would be that I didn't have kids sooner. We are only getting older and holding onto your youth is worth more than gold. Anyway, I hope you find your happiness whatever it may be. For me it was a little baby staring at me and holding onto my thumb.

thanks for sharing, i.am working in one of the big 4 and also considering moving

Work for "de lowt" and I dream of leaving everyday. Its been 4 months 😔 Oh and I owe them money for a training they require that I failed ☹

but couldnt you push back on the working weekends or after office hours? Sometimes the work life balance issue is localised (ie within a department)

the podcast is great <3, maybe the music could be less than your voice. you're great

Can you make a video on your next steps. How did you realize your why/ who/ next career? How did you move towards that? Basically the continuation after this life event. Thank you

The background music is so distracting

Helpful insights. Consulting is really sounding more brutal the more I see videos like these. Thanks.

Your new subscriber here! :)

Love it
