Hello everyone! In this video I talk about what consulting is, how consulting works, what my experience in consulting has been like, some pros and cons of consulting and the travel lifestyle.
Since there is so much to cover with this topic of consulting, i really tried to do my best to cover everything that was either requested for me to discuss, or that I felt was relevant to the topic.
Also protip watch this video at 1.25 speed bc for some reason I speak 10 times slower in this video than I normally do.

I really love this video. Its so informative. I'm an economics and stats major student and would love to get into consulting. I'm doing my second year/ "sophomore" ( I think that's what you call it in the states. I'm South African 😅 ). There's an information session from one of the big 4 consulting firms that will be happening in 2 days on campus. I'm really interested in going, I believe that this will be a great opportunity for me to network and get more acquainted with the world of consulting. However I'm a bit nervous, I've never really known what to do or say during a networking session. In your opinion, what are the questions I should ask, or what information should I know before hand? Also, regarding my resume, what exactly are firms looking for in a candidate? Thanks a lot New Subbie 💞

Hey Didi! I’m so sorry I am just responding now, but I hope your networking session went super well! If you have any additional questions or still would find it helpful to receive advice, feel free to email me and I can help you with anything else! Apologies again for the delay and best of luck with interviews !! ❤️
