I seriously LOVE the way you created this video! It's so cool to be able to get your insight on consulting but also to hear it from other people!

I feel like I didn’t have that much experience and also consulting is so broad so I wanted to get other people’s opinions too

This is insanely helpful! I love how you have so many different perspectives & everyone is so articulate! Definitely learned a lot!

This is such a great video- extremely insightful! I’d definitely watch if you did a video like this for other professions. It could become a series ...

I agree with Samantha, I'd like to see more videos about your business and industry perspective.

The fact that you got your friends to chime in with their own experience took this video to the next level. I got a lot of value from this. Thanks!

I appreciate how much hard work you put into this video, I love how informative it was and how you got different people’s insight! I hope you make this a series bc I love these kinds of videos and it’s refreshing to see this kind of content since no one seems to do it

I currently work in Consulting and made a similar video to this just last week! I agree, I wish there was more content like this out there. Natalie did a great job!

OMG thank you for this vid! It is so informative! The facts that it is 40mins+ & you list all the questions below even make me feel more appreciated 💛

I worked at Accenture, Google and a Deloitte last year for my internships. Have accepted Deloitte as a graduate and super excited to get started! This video was so up to par with what consulting is like and I wish I would’ve known all this before I got started ☺️

this was SUCH a great video! i can’t even imagine how much time went into editting all of this and it’s so inspiring how talented you are at utilizing your resources and experiences to create content. ugh, so motivating to me. you’re my fav 🤍

Love your hair in this! 😍 You’re such a hustler and I really admire that! You motivate me a lot with my life & channel! 💕✨

This is such a great informative video. It was so nice hearing about your experience and views but even more interesting to hear about your friends' experiences and thoughts. I would definitely watch a similar type of videos series!

This was seriously so helpful and informative. Thank you all for putting so much time and effort into this!

ahhhhh I love this video!! The set up, the information, everything!!! thanks Natalie, Tochi, Anna and John 🤓

This is what I like, full in-depth videos! Great work!

This is such a helpful video, not even interested in the field but it’s so cool to hear ab

Great insight, all of nailed it! It was definitely interesting hearing everyone's experience! I work for a big 4 here in Toronto and love being able to hop from project to project. I just shared a video on how to get into consulting, specifically a big 4 firm✨

“I was only there for 8 months before I quit” 👀👀🤭🤭😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I am extremely interested in consulting, and have literally been waiting for this video!!! I also love how long it is! Thank you :)

Adriana Estefania I’m a data science major rn and hopes to become a data scientist / developer at one of the big tech companies like Apple/amazon/google/Microsoft etc. , but now that I’ve read about consulting how would my role change? Would I still be a data scientist just working in a tech consulting firm and helping other companies? What would my role be? Thanks

I’ve been waiting for this one!!

Wow all your friends put so much effort in their answers. I loved it!

love that you share the timestamps, thank you! 😃🌻

one of my FAVORITE videos of yours. have fallen out of lifestyle vlogs so this really peaked my interest. Love it!!!

Thank you so much for this video Natalie! This video went in depth on many key points from so many perspectives! I recently secured an offer with one of the Big 4 and preparing for the role has been heavily technical and interpersonal skills driven. I’m SO excited to start and after watching this video I feel really confident going in! 💃🏾 I will be watching again, thanks!

Loved this video - super appreciate you all making it

Been waiting for this vid!!

Your videos are so open and honest I love that! 💕

Thank you for this. The differing perspectives offer a great insight.

This video was so helpful and informative. I loved how you brought in multiple perspectives from your friends and discussed both the pros and cons of different people's experiences. It's so interesting to see what consultants do! Before going into the tech industry as a product manager, I really thought I was going to be a consultant after college. Thanks for another great video, Natalie!

Great video! Also worked for Accenture during my undergrad, but then started at McKinsey afterwards. Recently started my KZread channel as well on my experiences in consultant, would love to hear what you think! Best, Heinrich

Great work Natalie! Somehow i expected this type of content after your move to NY, a bit more elaborated and rich in content! Well done! A very nice surprise to see you 3 times this week with different content :)!

This was a great and beneficial video. Thank you Natalie!

It's really really really informative!!! Thank you all so much for doing this!!! 💕💕💕

Great content Natalie! You Rock! Keep it up💖

I have been working for Accenture as a software developer for over five years. The length of each project varies. I had a project that lasted for over four years and I had another project that lasted for a year. The number of hours a person works each week depends on the project. For each of my projects, I worked between 40 - 45 hours per week. I would work on some weekends. After you get hired by Accenture, you are put on the bench. While you are on the bench, you need to find a project. You can spend time in training, but finding a project is your first priority. Before you start to work on a project, you have to get interviewed by the client. If you pass the client's interview, you can work on the client's project. If not, you have to find another project. I have been on three one-week business trips. I've been to Denver twice and to India once. (I live in California.)

The video I needed!!! Thank you!!

this was a great and informative video! I would love to watch something like this on the topic of public relations

This is a great video! Thank you Natalie!

Thanks for this video because I’ve always wondered who a consultant is because I’m a doctor & it means something essentially different in our field. Not in terms of being a professional but in terms of day-to-day work.

Natalie, you have done a great job!! Wonderfully putting different perspectives and still keeping the core of the video idea. Thank you for sharing the inside of the life in the consulting work-life world :))) It is a really good way to learn the ethnography of how corporate life operates. Educational. Definitely ;)

Totally love this type of videos! So informative! 😍

Hey, love this video, it was so useful! I wanted to ask, how do you recommend preparing/practicing for case study interviews? Especially for those with degrees that aren’t in a business or technical field.

thank you for all these info, i’m currently finding what i wanna do, this vid really help me a lot. 💕

I work in one of these companies and I totally agree with the thoughts spoken. Really great video, Nat !

I love all the different perspectives

This was helpful and eye opening to the consulting area I was interested in - as I'm quite lost as a soon fresh grad

Thank you so much for this video! So insightful and informative. I was unsure about whether or not to apply to a student-run consulting club at my university but I think I will, after watching this :)

Love your makeup and hair in this vlog! You look gorgeous

awesome video wow, really cool hearing from all these different perspectives. Really interested in consulting, i feel like it just fits who i am (people person, big on communication and critical thinking skills, love variety and travel)

This is amazing. Im about to start working as a designer at one of those companies right out of college :) thanks for ur content, you are an inspiration

Love this and how you got multiple point of views from you friends great video love

Thanks for making this, I found it very helpful :)

The last dude is so profound and honest in his explanation, this is a great insight into the career itself

Hey Natalie! Thank you so much for this video! This is super insightful! I love hearing other peoples perspectives on consulting. I really enjoyed your other life/college/ career vlogs as well. Do you know anyone in Pharma or in HR?

Thank you so much for this.

I’ve never imagined myself working for a single company forever but this sounds so interesting! Definitely going to look into this as I look for jobs after graduation in a couple months 🙌🏼

This video was very informative! I think it would have been helpful to have some insight into firms outside of Big 4 and Accenture, especially the highly competitive firms like McKinsey, Bain & Co., and BCG. They’re also well known, but their interview processes and work/life balance are more intense, and it would have been cool to get perspectives from both Big 4 and MBB.

I agree! I just picked from my friends and don’t know anyone that works at those companies unfortunately.

My cousin studied industrial engineering and business at NC State. He worked as a consultant too. Loved hearing your stories. I’m looking into public sector consulting after the Peace Corps and graduate school. Also Anna is a mood💗

Loved this, if you do make this a series I would love to see very different fields and don't forget the creative's too like designers or so on

Very insightful!

Currently interviewing for consulting company and this is super insightful. I didn't really know what to expect as they have been considering me for several different roles at the firm to get started. I really appreciated the varied and diverse opinions presented. And as for Anna, I'm probably a little weird in liking airports and dining while traveling :)

i honestly didn’t know a thing about consulting before this video, but i always thought about doing something in business. this seems like a super interesting career. it sucks however about the whole “just a number” thing :(

Sooo Beautiful!! Brains, Drive, with a Incredible Personality... doesn’t get any better that this.. 👍👍

I'm 40 and just retired from the military. This was very helpful for me even though everyone was very young.

Best video I've watched. I'm currently in the struggle of where to apply and how, will be graduation in May majoring in accounting with a minor in marketing. Thanks for sharing, it really opened my eyes. I also do KZread, very small KZreadr from Puerto Rico and I was so scared that accounting firms would not like that I do this as a hobby but you have proved me wrong.

Thank you so much for this video. I have been contemplating on whether I would be successful in the field of Industrial Psychology. If I do decide to pursue that avenue, I would love to be a consultant at a firm such as Deloitte. This video helped me to gain some insight. Thank You, Natalie!

great, comprehensive video!

I don't know what you're wearing but this color looks so good on you! ♥ Thanks for the video, it was very interesting & informative!

Wow I just made a video on this same topic! I currently work in Consulting and always get questions about it. Great seeing other perspectives!

This video actually helped me calm down about a new job im interviewing for. I’m completely out of my wheelhouse but I think I’m actually more qualified than I thought.

I love this video!!! You can do a theme on Instagram for a certain video and interview your followers working in a particular field!

Amazing video! Makes me feel more comfortable going into consulting coming from a psychology/neuroscience background. 🤍

Hi!!! I was just wondering if you use anything on your eyebrows, what you use?!

This is very interesting. I'm working on writing something in which the main character is working at a consulting firm. This is really helpful!

I'm in consulting, and this was pretty accurate!

This was really cool and useful. Would you recommend consulting as a good entry-level job for a recent college grad even if you want to build a career in a different industry?

Natalie this was super helpful, can you make more content similar to this?

FANTASTIC video

I'm kinda shook by the concept of being "on the bench." I work in civil engineering consulting and there is no such thing as that in my industry!!

Wow really? I've always felt there's no reason to be middled by your "pimp" If not for the perks of having a talent management rep with a vested interest in keeping me staffed and the peace of mind I get knowing I'd be on the bench and have a week or two to react if ever I were rolled off before being squished like a cockroach rather than right away.

beautiful - thank you excellent video - Raouf

Hello ! Thank you so much for those precious information.! I have done my college at Dakar Senegal with a MBA in Business Administration specially in Tax System advisor , I m in US now about 2 years and I would like to work in consulting or accounting .. but I don’t really know where to start ,. I have also a bachelor in Private Law .

I started working at PwC right after I graduated, it's a great place to challenge yourself and learn more. Co workers can be quite rude and demanding, but I think it depends on your line of business, team or location/country. After almost 2 years I figured their culture just wasn't right for me, so I moved to a big TECH company.

I was wondering how you would answer a question like the interview question you said about implementing A new system in a place that has a lot of different ones. I am a freshman going into industrial engineering and I do want to do something along the lines of consulting for my first experience in industrial engineering so I think knowing that would be helpful or at least understanding the basic concept.

thank you for this video. I started studying business and I'm not sure of my decision. Your video would help me to reflect about my future and inform me about this job :)
