Thanks so much for posting this very educative and inspiring video. I particularly like the part of the one year gap, something I am really looking at as future option. As per idea for next videos, how to tailor made you resume for a job application in consulting would be nice. Thanks also for you IG story on how you are editing your video, it was super fun and educative to look at it. Take care, keep safe and well.

I have a business degree but I've always loved economics and finance. Do you think I should go to grad school and focus on one of those areas, or try to go get a bachelors in order to strenghten my knowledge bases? It's quite a mighty jump to go from biz to econ.
@bykchoi 4 жыл бұрын
Depends on what your career goal is I guess? Maybe I’m not familiar enough with all the nuances but it feels like you would be able to get the job you want with a business degree + relevant work experience - but I’m not sure!

I was fine since I wasn’t earning enough to be taxed! My student visa allowed me to have a job up to X number of hours a week, so I also had a part time job during my second semester.

What's your opinion on applying for business school during COVID? I was originally planning on applying for the 2021 intake in France but now I'm not sure since there's no guarantee whether the situation would be completely resolved by the time I graduate.
@bykchoi 4 жыл бұрын
I think I would just make sure to have good communication and understand what the options might be if you for some reason need to defer your start date. But I’m sure all universities are focusing on dealing with the upcoming fall 2020 semester and nobody has any idea what things will look like in a year to a year and a half! I also really hope things would resolve by the time you would graduate (im assuming 2023)!!

I admire the high degree of openness and inclusiveness in Western society where exchanging between different roles throughout solid related experience or compelling reasons is so welcomed. By contrast in Eastern society but not specifically saying recruiters always want to look for people with 100% matched in working background and past experience to the current recruiting job in which even 10% unmatched is not accepted. And now recruiters can even easily find people they want with that kind of background by using screening tools in job search platform instead of screening by CVs. Their mindsets are more or less conservative and resist to change under mild and affordable risks. As a result, people are hard to make role switch in that context even though they can present skills needed and potential benefits like bringing in diversity or chances or strengthening resistivity to recruiters. Unless the role switching opportunity is bringing by acquaintance.
@bykchoi 4 жыл бұрын
such an interesting point... on a related note, one of the benefits of the US college system is that there's more flexibility in choosing your major (like you can change your major several times and usually still graduate on time), so i guess it makes sense that jobs and career switches would be similar! not sure what that part is like in eastern or asian cultures.

Are internships necessary to get a job as a management consultant for newbies
@bykchoi 3 жыл бұрын
I didn't go straight from undergrad to management consulting, so I can't speak from experience, but from what I've seen, internships are super important for securing a full-time offer after college (even if it's not at the same firm).
