What is Consulting?
In this video, I decided to dig deeper and tell you all about IT Consulting since it's not as popular as Management Consulting that everyone is talking about!
So I am going to tell you what is a Consultant, what is an IT Consultant more specifically, what they do exactly in a project, and why it is one of the hottest jobs right now!
Do you have any questions about Consulting?

Thanks Naym :)
To shingle out as IT Consulting Engineer,one should have degree in CS(Computer Science)/ CpE(Computer Engineering) / IT(Information Technology)/ SE(S/W Engineering) with Gov't License as PE/PEng/CEng. But SE degree holders with License may work only as S/W Consulting Engineers & not as H/W Consulting Engineers or N/W Consulting Engineers
Pretty accurate! Cheers from Argentina, your videos are simply amazing and really well elaborated. No doubts you deserve more views.
Keep it up!
Thanks @Facundo!
I felt the bus never coming scene, that hit deep....
HAHAHA always bro
Awesome video as usual Mahdi. Definitely agree this is an awesome career to get into. If I recall correctly only around 1/5 of things that will eventually be on the cloud are on the cloud at this current time. Cloud migrations are a huge area and also lots of frameworks + apps are cloud hosted, e.g. Workday, Xero, machine learning frameworks by google or IBM, and more and more companies will use these going forward. If you know how to use these and configure these for different clients you will never be out of work.
If anything, I feel like the difficult part is trying to figure out what exactly you want to specialise in, because you're just spoiled for choice.
So true! I feel the easiest way you have is to actually speak to people working in the field, then look for product demos and see what's the most interesting software/ERP for you! When you're inside the industry I feel it's easier to switch!
Hi!
I wanted to know what are the different roles that are on an IT consulting team. I presumed that an IT consultant just does market research and provides some data based on which decisions can be made related to the project, didn't know that they actually solve the project (create the application).
Can you please clarify on this.
Thanks
I’m here preparing for an interview because I have zero IT consulting experience , wait…I have a little but I need to refresh !
Insane that the jobs only dropped 5%! Not sure why IT consulting doesn't get the hype that other types of consulting does. Over the past 5 years, it is the fastest growing part of consulting (especially digital) - bringing the most revenue in and hence, since you get promoted based on that....a good career to be in! Super informative video! Loved the bit about we have to do it all over again haha!
I know right! When I meet other Consultants in Networking events I used to get anxious when I have to explain what I do because most of them won't get it, that's why I tried to use the cellphone analogy haha! Thanks for the comment :)
@@independentconsultant Hi Mahdi, Could you please update the link for the resume with no experience check-list. The link in the description does not work anymore. Thank you so much. I am speaking about the link in the description section of this video : How to Get a Job Without Experience: 5 [Actionable] Strategies that Work (in 2019)
@@zenithzenith8627 Hey ! Can you email me hello@primalcareer.com, I'll send it to you :)
@@independentconsultant the email was just sent. Thank you in advance :)
Easy and well explained
Thanks Dinesh!!
Hey! Hello in 2021
Thank you so much for this info. I was looking to get info about IT Consultant & after watching your video I feel if someone asks me what is that, I can explain them.
I am confused in my career. I took a job break to break into IT but I am still feeling lost.
I was in a hotel job which I never liked & I started learning Python but felt overwhelmed after reaching to intermediate level. I am learning SQL nowadays & Excel but really not feeling much excitement.
Could you advise me on what would be best path to choose as an entry level in IT ?
I’m looking forward to knowing more about IT consulting. IT is extremely important nowadays.
Tune in at 11AM :)
Primal Career Oh wow, it’s a very useful and interesting video. How long did it take you to complete the video from beginning to the end?
Hmmm around 3 days let's say! Maybe 4 including scripting everything
Primal Career Wow... So you spent ~32 hours on this video?
@@CPACareerPaths ~2h writing, ~2h planning shots, ~3h filming, ~5h editing so around 12-15h let's say. That's my approximate per video! Longer videos like when I tell stories can take up more!
Elaborately explained. The typical Glasses & Buttoned-up stereotype though? Hahaha Classic.
Do more on quirks & expectations of Tech Consultants.
Awesome video! Graduating in December 2020, and I want to get into Technology/IT consulting, so this is the perfect video. Any advice and tips for resume and job search specific to this position? Thank you!
It really depends on your specific situation, but in general (and especially in IT) if you can align your experience & skills with every bullet points you find in job postings you'll have an edge over the remaining 95% who will not do the same with their resume! DM me on LinkedIn if you have other more specific questions ! :)
I think you have to turn it on! 😂😂😂😂😂 yassss!!! Can’t wait to start helping my clients get the most out of their products! Whoop whoop 🙌🏾
😂😂 clients are special sometimes! Best of luck to you, Im sure you'll like it!!
Looking like you about to drop some knowledge and re-do my corporate taxes
HAHAHAHA YEAH bro, call me!
Please Next video make it for me that how will be question and answer in It consulting & thank you so much for explain me. what is it consulting.🙏🔥
Plz adv who can becomes IT consultant and how? Does one need to learn any coding to become IT consultant.
Hi Primal, I enjoyed your content very much! I have a question that I'm kinda wondering: Is IT consultant essentially the same as a system integrator? Or are these two handle 2 completely different tasks?
It's kinda different! IT consulting can involve helping clients decide what IT solution is best for them, then implementing it while customizing it to that specific client. System integrator is a bit more technical and square
Now I believe law of attraction I decided to start career with consulting I found this video 🙂 thank u❤️
I believe in this law as well 😂
@@independentconsultant I Don't understand why Orientals cant get in to PWC its just prejudice they must think we are bruee lee with the corona virus
What's the difference between management consulting and tech consulting?
Im pretty late to this video but, im majoring Management information systems. I have done three internships two in IT and one in Data analytics. Do you believe I would find a job in IT consulting?
Will be grateful to whoever can explain if what I have done is good so far
Love your videos, Can you please tell us about cybersecurity consultants?
Thanks man! Will see what I can do about it :)
like your content !!!
Thanks Lukas!!
I’m at IT Consultant at Capgemini! Definitely not always talked about because it’s not in the top 4 but it is a great industry to be in
So true!
Hi
Hey could you send your email id, I need a help from you
Great video! There's no doubt that IT consulting is a growing field but do you think the focus on a specific software (Workday in your case) hurts your exit options?
Hmmm it's all about how you market yourself when you want to exit. I know many people who switched ERPs quite easily, because at the end of the day, they all "work the same way".
How do I get started with the I.T Consultant
So you still do a considerable amount of coding even as an IT consultant? I was expecting hands-on coding for this to be very minimal to none, and more one client-facing, documentations, and presentations.
Minimal "coding" even though I don't consider what I do as "coding" - When working with ERP like Workday and SAP it's more similar to the drag and drop and other type of "simple" configuration and more client facing/presentations. You still need extensive training to know how to configure both solutions tho
So do you build the prototype and app yourself? Like ure basically like can do software engineer but also a consultant?
We build the prototype but not all by ourself, we're a team of 15-20 people per project! Also it doesn't involve coding, so I won't call myself a Software Engineer, Workday looks like a drag and drop software (but more complicated)
@@independentconsultant so no coding required to be an IT consultant?
@@kingdoge69 nope!
Do IT consultants build the software themselves? Or do they have developers
For ERPs like Workday - we do it ourselves, we don't need developers
For others like SAP, sometimes we do need developers
I have an HR background and some experience in Workday HCM. I love technology as well. Do you think that I could become a Workday consultant?
Of course!
Thanks for such an informative video. I have a doubt though, isn't this a lot like the business analyst profile? as per the video it is requirement gathering, understanding and advising..but where is IT in this? doesn't it look like business analyst profile?
The IT part is working AND configuring IT systems to suit clients needs
@@independentconsultant thank you :)
hey I am from Bangladesh.
are you a Bangladeshi??
Which course we have to do for IT consultant?
I studied Commerce (Business), with an IT Major!
@@independentconsultant any online courses u recommended ?
Could you guide me for my career...... Can I mail you for any queries??
Yes of course!
I want to become it consultant and i choose bca in undergraduate. Should i become it consultant . Pls tell mea mehndi i from India.
Hey Saad! You can become an IT Consultant, there are not a specific degree requirement
@@independentconsultant thnkx for reply
@@independentconsultant mehndi pls guide me to become it consultant. And i hope u will .
@@KhanSaad-gm4eh add me on LinkedIn, it'll be easier!
Bangladesh 🤟
lol
No offense, but IT consulting sounds boring as fuck especially if you came from actually technical/coding background want to to actually tech stuff 😂 so you are almost like a “customer success manger” using to help client to know how to use the tool
as IT consultants we dont "start over". sorry as a real IT consultant I vehemently disagree with this statement
What do you do with new clients then Mr. Real IT Consultant? :)
@@independentconsultant work with their needs primarily. Aligning your goals with the needs of the client ensures that your final product appeases both parties
@@SuperBoxhead and you don't consider this starting over the process of understanding the clients?
@@independentconsultant i think we operate in very different spaces within IT
