Thank you!:)

Thank you for this informative video! As a uni student who's rlly lost in deciding her career and deciding what to major in/to switch courses altogether, your direct and concise explanation really aided my understanding of consulting. What did u study in uni to get into consulting?

I’m so happy to hear, thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment! Completely relate to the feeling of being lost (still am 😆) and it’s absolutely fine to not have it figured out yet. I studied government and economics for my undergrad and then did a masters in creative and collaborative enterprise. Quite a random mix and to be honest I don’t think I’m using much of the content I’ve learned at uni in my job now - it’s primarily all about transferable and soft skills unless you’re in a more quant/ technical role. I hope it all works out for you and wishing you all the best! ❤️

Hi Anastasia ,,your answers sort of gave me an idea of what you do,i see why they use them ,,sounds very interesting, do you get to travel much to see the projects as all the jobs can not be based in London ,sound like your doing well and enjoying your work ,look after yourself.

Thank you and always nice to hear from you!:) travel wise I’ve not had much at all, I think it’s died down a little bit and is now more for essential meetings only or for more senior members of the team. I only had one short day trip not far from London but my following two projects were London based (and mostly I could work from wherever- home or office) as most meetings are remote. Not mad about it to be honest because I feel lots of client site traveling could be quite disruptive to evening plans and routines! Hope you have a great week ❤️

Is it okay for a consultant to be bit slower than the rest of your team or will this lead to problems?

I think that’s a tricky one - I do feel that often the pace at which you’re supposed to deliver in consulting is not healthy or sustainable so on a personal level I think it’s absolutely fine to be a bit slower, if anything that’s probably a more sustainable pace. From a team’s perspective I think it depends on what your manager is like and whether they are understanding of the fact that you might need a bit longer. Some will be more accommodating than others - I’ve heard of both good and bad from my friends and colleagues. In my experience people have been quite accommodating of times when I needed longer for a particular task (and I try communicate it if that’s the case). Sometimes client pressures and deadlines can add to the stress for the team as a whole though and in that case I think it’s down to standing up for yourself if you genuinely need longer and trying to spread tasks out among the team in a way that will be ok for your workload. Easier said than done for sure and I’ve definitely had evenings where I worked later because I needed to catch up with where I thought I should be on the to-do list (but I think that’s me giving in slightly to the unhealthy workload expectations - so if you can pash back to protect your work life balance you absolutely should!)
