The man himself!!
True inspiration and well said things don’t always go as planned
Bro your content is exetremely helpful man. Thank you
Congrats and good luck with the future independent practice!! I'd love to know more about how you're finding clients and fulfilling all the roles from sales to being an actual consultant.
Congratulations! Very excited to see the rest of your career journey :) Best of luck.
Appreciate it Benny!! 😀
Congratulations! You're helped me so much in my search for career questions (specifically with interviews and consulting) and I wish you the best in this new endeavor. Also keep up the amazing YT vids!
Thanks so much John!! 😀😀

You're a true inspirations for students/upcoming consultant like me. Keep up the amazing work brother! Much love from mtl
Thanks bro! Your words mean a lot!
Very happy for you Mahdi. You inspire me and hopefully one day I can also run my own company.
Thanks Jalal, Im sure it will happen sooner than you think!! Let me know if I can help!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Wow. Really nice man! I recently got a tech role in a big 4 and I'm thinking about going independent in the long term myself. Looking forward to seeing how your decision pans out. Rooting for you! ☺ 💪
Thanks Tobi!! Good luck in your new role!
ATB for the new phase of your career!
Enjoying this content!
Thanks man!
I love these semi-vlog style videos like at the start,, very refreshing and I like how you flow into the premise of the video after
Thanks man!! 😁
Congratulations man. Might be oversharing a bit but I actually was just laid off from PwC and really needed to hear this. Not planning on going independent just yet, but I definitely feel empowered after hearing your journey.
Hey Lucian, it happens man, good luck on your new journey, you'll see that life after PwC is even better :)
Congrats 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Santo!!
Congratulations on taking the step! I did the same not long ago… it’s a big (yet small!) world! I wish you every success! Thank you for your content - I came across your video after your duo with Kajal!
Thanks man, I wish you success too!! Are you a Consultant too?
@@independentconsultant Yes! Used to work with one of the Big4 too!
I smell a new series coming soon “How to make your own consulting firm” 🔥
Congrats on going independent! I hope you learn a lot and can share your journey with us 🙏🏽 Thanks for making such valuable content
That would me an amazing series 🤩 thanks man for being here and commenting, I appreciate you!
Hey, I see that you were at the peace bridge in Calgary! Hope you enjoyed your stay - Much love from Calgary
Loved Calgary and Banff man! Thanks Sean!
At a first glance, didn’t believe it, thought there must be a plot twist. I had got to know your passion for consulting and knew how much you loved your job , you were a source of inspiration as to why I got into consulting myself. But then the end is bitter sweet . Wish you all the best , Mahdi , keep chasing after your dreams and peace of mind wins , your consulting business will grow into a household name ! Go get it !! Can’t wait to go with you on your new independent contractor consulting journey ! and learn more about your your unfiltered experienced of working for over the past 4 years at big four and DXC , as i bet your audience here is thirsty for more nuggets
Thanks so much Farah for being part of this journey, truly appreciate it! I hope you're doing well!
Good luck bro. I went independent consultant for some years after working at IBM, CSC (now DCX), and other notables… definitely more money… but went back to corporate America after I got married and had kids. Will be going to a Big 4 in April after 10 yrs at a Fortune 13 as an Enterprise Architect.
Congrats Mahdi, wish you the best in your New Endevour. In few years time, looking forward to go independent too in Salesforce practice. Please create more videos about your life as independent consultant, how you find new clients and build trust with them, and also in the future how are you planning to compete with the larger Tech Consulting firms 😉
Thanks so much Waqas - if you ever need help, my good friend is an independent Consultant in the Salesforce practice and he's good. If you want any tips let me know, I'll connect both of you!
Thanks for your reply Mahdi. Sure that will be great if you can connect me with him, it will help me in better planning for the future.
@@waqasmahmood2560 send me an invite on LinkedIn!
I didn't know there was so much opportunity for going independent in consulting. Congratulating for taking your fate into your own hands, Mahdi!
Appreciate it Jesse!! 😁😁
Wow goodluck
Thanks Marlon!!
More videos about being an independent/startup consultant!
Hard decision but you seem mature for it. Also the freelancers or independant-workers who have already been consultants often have the keys to success because they have the rigor, the sense of work and the organization skills to succeed in their future missions : good chance bro
Thanks Salah, your words are encouraging! 😁
Congrats! Are you keeping your certs (if so how)? How are you finding clients? Keep up the great work (currently a workday consultant at a big 4 so would love more workday vids haha)
Hurray another Workday Consultant! Let's connect on LinkedIn! I was thinking of creating more Workday content, and how to find clients!! Thanks Josh!
For now I took the recent update before leaving DXC, there are some clients that will keep your certs, but not all. Most clients don't care about certs (that's what I heard, we'll see if it's true!)
@@independentconsultant This would be awesome, mind if we connect? I am a analyst coming up on a year. Hard to find good Workday Content
Can you make a video on how to find clients? And are you working in a specific niche?
Good idea!!
I used your video to see how to submit resignation in workday 🤣. Got the offer from DXC but they revoked my candidature. :3
First!!! 🤗
Thanks for the support!!
Congrats! I have just been accepted into a PWC school leaver (degree apprenticeship in accounting) what can I expect in my first week or year bearing in mind I am also studying towards a degree. Thanks!!
Good luck to you too!! 😀😀
Hi Primal Career, i am future CPA planning to move to IT consulting precisely on Workday Finance. Any advice for me please? i have nobody near me working in IT consulting!
could you say what is your role in pwc. i mean did you worked in finance sector ?
How did you search for clients that needed consulting services?
What was the ost at 7:43 ??
It's been a year and I don't see any recent videos. What's life been like since this video?
Hey
I want to be in management consulting sector.
I am planning to do Ms in management from Ireland but I don't know where it gonna led me ,
Please can you help me with this ?
I have send your invite in linkedin
Thank you love from India ❤️
3 months into PWC and I am about to leave because of careless team
PRICE WENT UP!
In which country do u work?
Canada
How’d you get to six figures so quick???
Change jobs often, work in high demand low supply industries like tech
@@independentconsultant okay, thanks for this. Im 17 and looking to apply in a few months for Big4 apprenticeships in the uk, so I’ll be sure to check tech out. If you’re open to mentorship, I’d really appreciate this, but I understand you’ve got a lot going on.
