Appreciate it!!

thanks man!

thank you!!

Hey! I am happy to answer any questions you have here or you can dm me on Instagram and we can chat there

It can be hard! I used to lift 3-4 times a week, nowadays it's more like 3 times max. On busy week maybe just once on the weekend, but you can definitely fit it in if you are keen enough.

Hey Calvin that's super cool! Always love connecting with fellow HKers. Hours varies a lot, it really does depend. Ranges from 9-5 to even 9-1, depending on the type project and the project timeline

My firm is pretty flexible, but most of the time I work from home either 1 or 2 days a week :)

Thanks for the support! It is definitely do-able to switch over to management consulting. I do not think the interview will change much because of your previous experience since it will focus more on the type of skillset they expect every candidate to have. Just prepare for consulting interview like how any other person will do, but maybe prepare more for the motivational/aptitude part of the interview (e.g. why have you switched from software dev. to consulting, what skillsets do you think you can bring to the team...). Best of luck!

PowerPoint :)

Oh nice! I also have friends in Oliver Wyman and have heard good things about it :) Feel free to give me your email and we can chat over there!

Looks like PWC office to me

Strategy& I think

I work for one of these companies as a Partner....hours really vary and can be very up and down depending on loads of factors yes sometime we work long hrs sometimes we def don't....and I quite like that variability.....

no haha, I have just finished my undergrad law degree last summer and jumped straight into consulting! Might make a video soon about why I didn't go into law instead...

Yep Yep Casio digital watch. So cheap and one of the best value watch I've ever bought!

Hey! Thanks for the comment. MBA is not necessary for the job. If you only have an undergraduate/masters degree you will join the firm in their entry role (different firms call it differently, some call it Associate other call it analyst). If you have an MBA you will join the firm in a more senior role. Not sure if I can reveal which firm I am at at the moment but I might make a video upcoming about the job experiences I had before joining consulting!

@@Jason_lai a last question from my side does Management Consultants require coding skills ?

@@sudhanshurasotra no, coding skills is not necessary and we do not use it in our work. However if you know some data analytics that might be helpful. But if you don’t already then I will not spend time learning it, your time is better spent making sure you have good work experience, writing up a good CV/cover letter and preparing for interviews

We're on the same boat! I don't know how I feel about coding, but it gives me hope that if I don't like software or web development that there's other jobs for me. Thanks Jason for the videos, I wish I had more of an opportunity to get a minor in business but it's kinda too late in my college career. Just two questions, how stressful is the job? And are there other roles that you think C.S. graduates could get in the more business world?

Work on it! Make it happen :)

My team actually doesn't travel a lot! It really depends from firm to firm (e.g. McKinsey consultant travels to client site a lot)

@@Jason_lai Thanks mate

Have a quick Glassdoor search on management consulting salary in London :)

It's 'With Somebody' by Public Library Commute :)

this day was very cheap, I think around $1.5 on my breakfast, $5 on my lunch and $0.5 on my coffee? I can't say exactly where I work because I am not sure if my company policy allows it haha. But I work in one of the big international strategy consulting firms

@@Jason_lai i mean the building is on at 0:28?

On a busy project around 12 hours, On a less busy project 8 hours I’ll say

yep hahaha so we got a good deal

I do! It's @jason.yslai :)

Can't say sorry hehe

Each to our own! Thank you for liking the video/narration and the kind words. Personally I like being a consultant as I think it is one of the best entry level graduate job- will probably make another video deep diving into it soon!

I feel like this is a very narrow way of thinking. It’s a very secure job, lots of benefits and flexibility. You’re able to combine research, problem solving and creativity into one. Not every job is suitable for everyone. (This is coming from a person in healthcare trying to transition into business)

You say nothing personal as you judge their personal life. You should know everyone has different goals in life and if it's saving a ton of money and then being able to move to industry where you'll have less work hours and more pay for appearing competitive than most then I don't think I can blame any consultant. As a consultant, you travel and meet so many different people. It can be fulfilling for the short term and then you chill in industry.

Are you lgbtq

I am certain that the executives of the billion dollar companies who decide to hire them know better than you

You sound stupid

Hey! you can dm me on instagram and we can chat there

@jason.yslai :)
