      @@bykchoi I would definitely give it a listen if you make one. I think a lot of young professionals / college students are interested in interviews with other professionals in their careers (diff industries), how they got started, career advice, how to prep for interviews, resume advice and the like! I think financial management tips are also really useful -- I guess similar to this video and other content you make but because it's a podcast, it can go for a lot longer, have more content & be more informative in a way. Other topics that are interesting could be networking tips, project mgt / time mgt tips, and the like! I'm a college senior btw! :)

    So great to see CZcams videos highlighting on the consulting careers! Wish I had these back in college. First then big 3, and then the big 4! Have you considered interviewing a consultant from Accenture? I’m a tech consultant at Accenture, and I also have a CZcams channel focusing on technology consulting as well!
    So glad to see other consultants on CZcams and showing people how fruitful this career is! We need more on CZcams! ❤️ I follow both you and Steph & Den!

    Great video! I really agree with what your friend said at 14:06, people create this illusion of what working for these companies are like and it’s can be a letdown. I live in an area where Big 4 is huge and everyone wants to work there. After being exposed to that world for over a year it really isn’t all that great to be in. This is just my personal opinion .Big 4 experience will be different for everyone.

      Agree. Lots of young people go there fresh out of school with no real experience to offer as a consultant. It'll take years to cultivate and work your way up. Honestly it's probably better to work for a consulting firm when you have some actual work experience and understand the day-to-day challenges of the business world. Big picture is great but the politics and nuances are something you learn in a workplace.

      CornishPasty exactly, especially having to adjust to the complicated timesheets that are used to log hours. Not to mention the stress of possibly not having a client and being benched for a period of time. The worst part is having a SM or Manager that do not teach you how things work for the tasks you’re given.

    Hello, I am from India and am pursuing my management studies here. I am not having great grades in my schooling and have decent grades in my undergrad. I am pursuing MBA from a tier 1 B school here. I have prior work ex in Marketing and also as a consultant with reputed firms. I also am having international recognition as my extra circulars. Looking at my profile would bad grades affect my chances to get recruited by the Big4 consulting firms?
