4 years ago this video randomly showed up on my recommendation page back when I was still a high school kid. Fast forward to now, I have accepted my first M&A strategy consulting internship. I am truly grateful that I have saw your video and this video truly inspired me when I first entered university and thinking about what career I want to pursue. I look back and rewatch this video over and over again to continuously motivate myself. Now I can finally say that I have made it. Thank you!

I avoided a career in consulting because of all the travelling that it required... but now in my current non-consulting position, because my clients are all over the world, I still ended up needing to travel a bit. I hate living out of my suitcase, but do enjoy the work I do. Your day looks so similar to mine! Back-to-back calls, rushing to client lunch, more calls in the car, webex when I get home. I enjoy being busy though, and it looks like you do too!

I'm considering becoming a consultant post-grad. I've had so many jobs where I sit at a desk and practically stare at a computer all day and it is very dull and draining. I'm looking forward to every day being different along with working on challenging projects that will keep me on my toes! I don't have any consulting experience so watching these kinds of vlogs is very helpful for me!

I think you have a good theme for your channel. It’s a good idea to film your working week, business trips and daily routine... Looking forward to your next video =)

Great stuff! I'm a traveler as well and finally figured out what the "luggage rack thing" was used for. Now how about a new video on how a busy consultant spends the weekend. :)

I'm studying MBA and I was considering about my future career! You literally added new clarity to my life!

As soon as I started playing this video, I realized how I missed Kristina’s vlog 😭 thank you very much for this K. Choi!

Hey Kristina!

Plus, I like your attitude towards work and the willingness to still enjoy the vivid details of life(e.g. the morning-time walk) despite the cramped schedule. You're gonna snail it ALL :)) p.s. Remember to take good care of yourself while enjoying the sense of achievements from work. 😊

Do you need me to solve your difficult problem? And to bring you clients!؟

Long story short, 75% market research, 10% coffee, 7.5% group/client meetings, 7.5% Modelling

I just found your channel because of your Korean food videos and I can’t believe that I found you. I need to decided what to study and what I want to do and consulting it’s one of my biggest options so totally watching your videos and subscribing!

So glad this randomly popped up in my recommended! I work as a software consultant and watching your travel for the week somehow makes me feel less stressed about all of mine ... 2 flights in one day sounds killer 😥 I also love the flexibility though. I’m currently working on my Saturday evening since I took it easy yesterday afternoon, I really enjoy having that trust from my boss. Just thought I’d mention one of the pros since there’s a lot of consultancy hate in the comments 😂

Hi kchoi, I am a presentation designer and I work with consultants everyday on their presentations. It's nice the see things from the other end. Hats off to you guys!!! Hope you have a wonderful week 😊✌️

I loved this video. Very interesting to see your day-to-day schedule and how you manage your career as someone close to my age.

I just got a consultant intern for my end-of-year internship, that is so great to know more about life as a consultant. It seems that this job is not easy, but I have the confidence that I could do it well. And I think I'm adaptable to business travel life, as I have no problems dealing with jet lag issues.

Love this video just as much as your PR vid!! I just started college & I’ve decided to pursue a bachelors in communications. You’ve given me a much better idea of what to expect in this field. Thank you & please continue to vlog your journey!

Usually they tell you the stuff you already know and let you do the slides that they sell you for more what you earn in a year. A consultant would charge you for that, I do it as a favor. That also explains why I'm not rich, and not a consultant.

This is basically the same as I have experienced as an IT consultant. Week in week out in Tokyo, Bangkok, and Singapore.

Currently working as a consultant for one of the big 4. All I can say is that being a consultant requires you to be flexible when it comes to skillset, time and knowledge depending on the project you were assigned. You'll come across with different clients, some are difficult to work with and some are one of the best.
