HAHAHA this killed me I was literally lying to myself by packing sneakers every week. that's so funny that u do the same with the other bed in the hotel room because i told my team that and they were like but why lmaoo no one understood

@@SamFerro Hahahha. I'm not going to lie. Sometimes I dump my suitcase on it too. Awesome channel btw and would love to collab on a consulting video in the future 👍🙌

@@KajolPhadnis thanks os much girl!! yes I'd love to collaborate on consulting or anything like work related / professional development related- i think that'd be awesome :D

@@SamFerro awesome!!! I will reach out via email 👍🙌

If a good work life balance is a priority to you, then I definitely wouldn’t recommend looking into consulting. The reason I say that is bc the work life balance will often vary based on the firm you work for, the client you work for, the project you’re on, your team, and where you are in the project timeline. The “it depends” answer is going to be true for any company or job, not just consulting, but since there are so many more variables that impact your work/life balance in consulting, it makes the job/hours quite unpredictable and more often than not, a more demanding than other roles. That said, I’ve had many weeks were the project was slower and where my work life balance was great, but other weeks where I’m working until midnight every night. It absolutely varies but if consistency and predictability are high priorities, in my experience consulting isn’t the best route to take. Hope this helps!!

Hi! I work as a consultant for a tech company, so the type of consulting (whether it be process consulting, design consulting, strategy, etc.) has been different for almost every project i've been on. I have a more in-depth video on my experience thus far if you're interested in learning more! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nKxin7Zzr9i3fWg.html

New subscriber also!

Aw thank you so much girl!! Its been an incredible experience thus far with many ups and downs but overall I'm very grateful to be in this field for my first job out of undergrad. I'm looking forward to seeing videos of yours!!

Sam Ferro 🥰❤️

HAHA yes!!

@@SamFerro ;-)

Sure! What would you like to see in the videos specifically? Feedback is so helpful when coming up with what I wanna highlight in each video 😀

@@SamFerro Maybe like how you proper to for a meeting or more of you prepping for a meeting. That would be nice.🥰

ohh i love that idea!! jotting down notes for it now :) would you wanna see it in a work week type of vlog where i highlight that part specifically? or as a video on its own@@oliviaalleyne6794

@@SamFerro I'm a consultant myself, recently became a business and management consultant. It's a great journey but I feel more inspired and motivated when watching other women such as yourself making "day in a life" videos because I can relate and take notes lol.

@@oliviaalleyne6794 omg girl i appreciate that more than you know!! its definitely an intense lifestyle so also find inspo from other youtubers working corporate jobs. One of my youtubers to watch for videos like this is michelle reed!

Sure but no one has to do it for 10 years. I would get into consulting to gain the learning curve that everyone is talking about and then do an exit after 6 years. Also if you are not into long hours of working, don't go into this industry. And if you got into it and realised afterwards you don't like working that long, you can still make an exit and go into another company with better work/life balance.

@@planic8128 i think you will find work/life balance is hard to find no matter the industry. And the pay incentives are such that it is hard to get out of once you get into it. But the key is for people to KNOW what to expect and exactly what it is they're getting into. And my comment was the video does not paint a realistic depiction of what the "consulting life" REALLY is. It's long hours. STRESS. Fatigue. And most of the time no work/life balance. My boss had a heart attack on the job. Too much heavy drinking, bar food, eating out. No enough exercising and healthy eating. The "lifestyle" takes it toll and you have to make a conscious effort to eat healthy and exercise, which is hard to do living out of a hotel. THAT's my point. It's not glamorous all the time. It's not glamorous most of the time. And people who are considering it should know that.

@@planic8128 and as far as the experience goes. If you are starting out in your career, consulting is the absolute WORST experience you can get. WHY? because as a consultant, you have to work with the client where they are, how they prefer. So you have no concept of what industry practice is (because you're new) or what best practice is. What you'll likely learn is BAD practice. If the company were all that great operationally, the wouldn't need to bring in consultants. IMO consulting is only a good experience after you've been around the block a bit and have a good understanding of who something SHOULD be done or have some industry expertise to know how a particular industry does it. THEN you have expertise to bring to the table and you can add value. WIthout that, odds are high you'll learn bad habits that will come back to haunt you should you land in a place that knows their stuff and executes well.
