So I am going to tell you what is a Consultant, what is an IT Consultant more specifically, what they do exactly in a project, and why it is one of the hottest jobs right now!

    To shingle out as IT Consulting Engineer,one should have degree in CS(Computer Science)/ CpE(Computer Engineering) / IT(Information Technology)/ SE(S/W Engineering) with Gov't License as PE/PEng/CEng. But SE degree holders with License may work only as S/W Consulting Engineers & not as H/W Consulting Engineers or N/W Consulting Engineers

    Hi! I wanted to know what are the different roles that are on an IT consulting team. I presumed that an IT consultant just does market research and provides some data based on which decisions can be made related to the project, didn't know that they actually solve the project (create the application). Can you please clarify on this. Thanks

    Awesome video as usual Mahdi. Definitely agree this is an awesome career to get into. If I recall correctly only around 1/5 of things that will eventually be on the cloud are on the cloud at this current time. Cloud migrations are a huge area and also lots of frameworks + apps are cloud hosted, e.g. Workday, Xero, machine learning frameworks by google or IBM, and more and more companies will use these going forward. If you know how to use these and configure these for different clients you will never be out of work. If anything, I feel like the difficult part is trying to figure out what exactly you want to specialise in, because you're just spoiled for choice.

    Hey! Hello in 2021 Thank you so much for this info. I was looking to get info about IT Consultant & after watching your video I feel if someone asks me what is that, I can explain them. I am confused in my career. I took a job break to break into IT but I am still feeling lost. I was in a hotel job which I never liked & I started learning Python but felt overwhelmed after reaching to intermediate level. I am learning SQL nowadays & Excel but really not feeling much excitement. Could you advise me on what would be best path to choose as an entry level in IT ?

    It really depends on your specific situation, but in general (and especially in IT) if you can align your experience & skills with every bullet points you find in job postings you'll have an edge over the remaining 95% who will not do the same with their resume!

    Insane that the jobs only dropped 5%! Not sure why IT consulting doesn't get the hype that other types of consulting does. Over the past 5 years, it is the fastest growing part of consulting (especially digital) - bringing the most revenue in and hence, since you get promoted based on that....a good career to be in! Super informative video! Loved the bit about we have to do it all over again haha!

    So you still do a considerable amount of coding even as an IT consultant? I was expecting hands-on coding for this to be very minimal to none, and more one client-facing, documentations, and presentations.

  • @independentconsultant

    @independentconsultant

    3 жыл бұрын

    Minimal "coding" even though I don't consider what I do as "coding" - When working with ERP like Workday and SAP it's more similar to the drag and drop and other type of "simple" configuration and more client facing/presentations. You still need extensive training to know how to configure both solutions tho
