Got some juicy lessons that I learned during my first year as a consultant! OMG, I made so many mistakes (who hasn't?), and honestly, I'm pretty sure no one would have guessed the last one, so definitely stick around for that one. I wanted to make this video so any of you that are about to start your job in consulting can be prepared for what there is to come and also to avoid making my mistakes. I also provide you some tips on what you can do instead to avoid these traps!
If you're a consultant, comment down below on one of your biggest mistakes you made as a consultant! If you're interested in consulting, which mistake did you find the most shocking (or interesting)?

Hey Christine been watching your vids for a couple of weeks now. I start ACN consulting (cloud security) this week. Thanks for the advice and tips. Liked the preparing for absentees and being ready to take over for anyone. Definitely will keep all these in mind when I start. Thanks!

Thank you and congrats on your job! Reach out to me when you start! Yeah, the absences one is something I started to do later in my career so I’m not always on edge and I’m prepared!

@@ChristineWong thank you! I’ll definitely reach out once I get all situated.

Great video! Make another one related to this :)

Thank you! What kind of video would you want me to make? More mistakes I made or maybe mistakes I made in my second year?

@varunnair6657 3 жыл бұрын

@@ChristineWong I would say common mistakes by tech consultants irrespective of their level, maybe Senior level?

@ChristineWong 3 жыл бұрын

That’s a good idea. It’s a bit difficult though because as you go higher, the more sales work they get so it’s not exactly something I can do irrespective of their level. I can try my best to come up with some.

Do you still get to go your nyc office to work or fly to client sites with covid going on.

@ChristineWong 3 жыл бұрын

Neither. Working from home now! Some people are allowed to go onsite to client locations but it has to be essential work. As for NYC office, they actually do allow you there but you need to reserve your office/desk ahead of time. The hotel style desks (open layout) isn’t available anymore.
