Beautiful office! Stayed in One Hudson Yards (the building next to the red brick house in the background while you were waiting for your Uber) for two weeks a few years ago. Was an amazing experience, right next to the High Line, and nyc‘s „city that never sleeps“ vibe is truly unique. Keep up the great videos :)
Love your content Matt! Keep up the good work :) always fun seeing life in the perspective of other NYers
Hey Lily! Glad you liked the video, and happy new year!
Dudeeee. I thought you were some big time UA-camr with the way you curated your content here.
So glad I came across your channel :) I've been looking into HRM and Managing Consultancy.
Its only a matter of time before your channel blows up.
Appreciate it man! Glad you liked the vid 🙏
Please keep posting videos like this, I am so curious to know about the life of Management Consultant in NYC
Will do! Stay tuned
It's not as it's glamorized out to be.
Nice aesthetic vid! The BCG office looks amazing! So many stairs tho lol
Haha fair point, I don’t mind getting the extra steps in though!
Moving such a good k-drama!!
Straight gas! Loved this one brother
Appreciate it bro!
great vid matt!
Hey Sean! Appreciate the support and hope you are well!
Great video! Keep up the great work
Thanks for dropping by!
@@matthuang21 Thanks for dropping this video!
Great cinematography
Great video. Great production. The content is improving consistently.
Few suggestions:
1. You should narrate things that you want to say rather than just showing them written on the screen. In my opinion that would more impactful.
2. Would have liked a look into post office life as well. (ofcourse if you want to share that). I mean you seem to be in pretty good shape so I assume you work out. Would have been good to know details regarding that. Do you work after office etc
But overall a solid video. Your job and office is proper fancy schmancy.. May God bless you more.
Thanks! Will keep these in mind for future vids
my opinion: I think keeping it this way - written notation rather than vocally spoken- is very nice and suits with your energy..
@@alixfabrizi I appreciate it! Thank you for the feedback
Wow the free food looks so good! 😮
It is!
Nice food and working environment👍
Thanks for this Matt. You did 1.5 years of IB analyst at Solomon in consumer m&a I think
And then pivoted to BCG without an MBA. Was the pivot easy or how did you go about that since there wasn’t some structured recruiting path I imagine for that? Sorry if you’ve answered this prior. Assuming I saw the right LinkedIn lol, undergrad at Georgetown. Most people making this post into associate level at MBB do it via MBA. Have you considered it or maybe later on?
I’m pre MBA currently trying to pick between consulting or banking but leaning banking. Still not sure
Thanks for the question Bakul! Correct, I lateraled to BCG directly from Solomon. It wasn't an easy transition to make (it involved prepping during the little free time I had on weekends as an IB analyst) but I was also fortunate that at the time consulting firms were very actively hiring from not only on-campus backgrounds but also experienced lateral hires. I also networked with quite a few MBB consultants while I was still in IB, so I had referrals and specific knowledge on how to best navigate the interview process.
If you are on the fence about consulting vs banking, one thing I will say is that I personally have seen more people switch from IB --> Consulting, but less the other way around. It's also worth noting that if high finance is your end goal, it makes more sense to go into IB - there are far more investment banks on Wall Street than Consulting firms where you can get into private equity (i.e., you basically have to be at MBB or a Tier 2 strategy firm like LEK to have a shot at PE). However, if you don't see yourself going into finance, I personally think Consulting is the best route because it tends to be a more sustainable career with wider exit options than banking. Ultimately, make the decision based on what feels right to you - hope this helps!
great video!
thanks Joseph!
Nice job
a realistic day in the life of a consultant: Kpop music video starts playing
hahaha best comment
Hello, I see a lot of these videos about MC and IB in the US, however it's rare for overseas countries for example being a MC or IB in Australia for example where i'm from. Do you have any insights of potential differences?
Probably varies by firm, but at BCG the US offices tend to get paid the most. Certain offices in Asia and Europe are also known to work pretty long hours consistently, and the track to promotion is slower outside the US (3 years as an associate before promotion to consultant vs just 2 years in the US)
Where in New York do you live? And how much do you pay for rent?
Hey Matt! I would love to ask what the work hours are like per week at BCG in Management Consulting. Thanks!
It typically ranges between 50-70 hours a week depending on the project
What kdrama is that? It’s interesting that you show it at the same time you mention that you’re not yet where you want to be. Perhaps showing that your goal is to be the big boss like you’re showing by video while you say it?
The kdrama is called “Moving”. Very interesting observation! I didn’t realize that when I was making the video.
Why do some UA-camrs I've seen rarely show or talk about their work as a consultant for a long duration? Most of what they show is food, drinks, and office interiors
I think it's easy to show your fancy office and perks. But harder to make a video talking about what you actually do since the work is not as glamorous.
Not trying to be weird or anything but you have such a good body? I hope I’m able to manage my physical health while living a successful life at the same time
Appreciate it! I'm planning to make a video in the future about how I stay in shape while working a demanding job, so stay tuned
Good job you have there but is it really worth it. Having a job where living expenses are high and you dont really get to save as much
New York is really expensive but that’s the case regardless of what job you have. I actually manage to save a decent amount since I have roommates to split rent and most meals during the week are expensed to the company.
@@matthuang21 well whatever works out for ya man. Work hard and keep searching out the purpose of life, best of luck :)
hey there, where's your mic from?
Hey Angela, I'm currently using this mic from Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BZZ964PH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Man, I got so triggered when I heard the alarm at the start of the video 😅
my sincerest apologies 😂
Nice! I’m at one world trade and really prefer your view better
I’d love to see the view from One world trade haha
@@matthuang21 I’ll DM you photos on IG
Guess you just walk the whole day. Nice.
Do you workout?
Yep, I try to lift weights ~3x a week
Sunscreen everyday 👍🏻👍🏻
You know it 😁

Thanks for the feedback!
