Love working 1 or 2 days a week from home. But I live 5 min from the office so this is pretty much the reason. Watch out for these expenses and your standard of living increasing with fancy dinners :P
@신자 adriana starr God call himself as Lord too. Moisés you have to Go there and save some people. Moisés Said no... He wanted to call you. Then God Said. Ok i Will destroy the people you want to save take this cajado Moisés Moisés took. Lord Said drop It. It became a snake (he is going to be betrayed without the cajado). Lord Said take him at the bottons. Moisés took It. Lord Said now Go. And Moisés Opened the Sea and saved his people. If It was you... You had failed. ♥️♥️😘
As a recent grad, who just started my first real corporate job, this was exactly what I needed to see lol. I still haven't made up my mind about wether I prefer WFH or in-office--I FEEL more productive in the office, but I think I get more work done at home, which is kinda weird.
Aussie here (Brisbane)- I am still working from home since March 2020 (actually, we're now being pushed back to it if we weren't already due to the new variant) and wouldn't trade it for the world! I do not miss the 45 min commute one bit, though I do believe at some stage we'll be doing a hybrid model (still being argued!! about (2or 3 days/ wk in the office). The big thing with WFH which I sorted out from day 1 is to have a routine. Do NOT go doing work stuff then getting breakfast etc etc. Get up, do all your personal stuff, have breakfast etc then get ready as if you're heading into work. And close the door (if using the spare room!) at the end of the shift. I've been very lucky to keep my job the whole time, in fact, I even finally got a promotion 6 months ago!
Hi there!! Tell me about it, commute time is such a nice part to be able to cut out some of the time. That hybrid model sounds ideal!! And big congrats on your promotion 🎉
I'm about to go from working in person for 8 years at various companies to working full remote and I am a hardcore extrovert so I get energy from being around other people. This was a great overview and I can relate to a lot of it, would love to hear more in the future.
I completely agree with all the pros and cons you are mentioning! I love working with my dog next to me all day but yeah, sometimes having contact with other people at the office helps, specially for your mental health! Thanks for sharing your consulting life!
Awesome video, Taylor!! Great sense of humor. Reminded me of my days working in PR consulting and living in NYC back in the mid to late 90s. Back then, it was working in the office EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! You are so lucky to have the flexibility that you have now. But one cool thing was that, for a good while, I was living on 49th Street between 1st and 2nd Aves and my office was on 48th and 3rd Ave. I used to say: " Even when I'm late, I'm early!" OH, to be young and living in Manhattan!!...the best!
Not my usual type of content so I am not really sure why UA-cam recommended your video HOWEVER I’ve loved it and I’ve loved you’re energy and smile and how genuine you are. To sum it up, you very much got yourself another subscriber, can’t wait to watch more content (rest assured I’m gonna catch up with previous videos) 🥰
I'm an executive assistant in TV who used to be in the office 4 days a week and now at home for that time - it's definitely changed the role a LOT as so much of it is dependent on my relationships with my execs. However, I think we've genuinely all learnt to work together much closer/collaboratively - so I'm definitely looking forward to a hybrid model in the new year!
So interesting to see the differences in how the pandemic is affecting work. Personally I haven’t been to the office for 20 months. We still mask in coffee shops etc, and an in-person social event is unheard of!!
Wow still very intense! What city are you in (just curious)? Looks like things will become a little stricter for us now too since there are so many omicron cases in NYC
yaimavol I’m not hiding in my house! My kids are in school, and I’m out and about doing things every day. Just wearing a mask when I do so that I keep safe and out of respect for other people. There are some things that we prioritise to do in person, and some (like work for many people) can very happily be done remotely.
Taylor, I just want to say thank you. Because of this exact video, I started following you (it costs 0$ right?) Thanks to you, I found the motivation again to pursue a career in consulting. I was doing Uber Eats and Doordash for the most part in the last 2 years. I got a MSc in June 2021 but still I was stuck, I was consumed from the inside by imposter syndrome, lack of knowledge about my future job and fear of failure. Now that you showed us what it looks like, I sent out 10 resumes in one afternoon, more than I had ever sent in my entire life. I start my career next Monday. You may not realize it, but your vlog will have been life-changing for at least one person. Have a wonderful day 🫶
Hii Taylor! I am from India. I work as Cloud Engineer with Hybrid policy. I can relate to you. Most of the times I work from home and when I'm bored of WFH I do WFO! Commuting is tiring. I like WFH more as I can spend time with family, help mom in kitvhen when im free, take nap(best part), and first login and then freshen up in the morning! But when this gets broing I got o office to meet collegues and have fun there too!!:) Blessed to have Hybird policy job! Cheers!🥳 :)And you are so pretty!
Aww. Love to see you progressing in your career! I want to say you have inspired me to look into consulting (more specific governmental) so thank you for that. Love your videos! Happy Holidays 💜💜
Well.. WFH showed me that the only great thing about my job was my colleagues, so I just quit. You inspired me to go into consulting, so I just stated my own company and things are looking great so far. So, thanks for your videos!
That makes a lot of sense ahah I’m sorry to hear about your old job. BUT happy to hear things are looking great now! 🎉😊 you’re welcome hehe thank YOU for watching!
This is the first time I came across your video, i must say it’s soo relatable! I found your content to be very genuine. Definitely going to watch more of your videos. I’m a consultant as well at Deloitte USI and I do understand the state of mind during morning zoom calls, lying on bed in between. Kudos to your effort!
This is definitely a must-see work vlog. I enjoyed all the aspects of what was talked about in this vlog. The funny bits here and there are very entertaining. And just all the content was amazing. You have like the perfect work view. Its pretty inspiring.
I am old and am in Canada where the labour market is different, but I find it so interesting that Management Consulting is now more of an entry level position. Back when I first started, Management Consultants are those that have been in the industry for many years and are near retirement. They would not really work on projects for a client, but moreso on looking at the organization from a higher level strategic level. It sounds like this is what we would call more of a Project Coordinator position. Very interesting ! Great video.
So true, I'm from Sri Lanka, Our management consultants are so old and with years of experience. How can you consult without experience. This is more like strategic level coordinating with a fancy work title. 😘 Anyways love your content & loads of love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰💛
I just started working from home after almost 10 years in a regular in-person job. It has its pros and cons like you said. I also I agree that waking up and getting dressed helps put me in the right headspace
I teach downtown Las Vegas, NV & taught 1st, then 2nd gr from home during Covid. Definitely more cons but enjoyed the pros while I had them- lunch with my husband every day (my biggest pro since we work opposite shifts), no commute so more me time, walking the dog mid-day so getting a brain break, sharing my life (my dogs, my family, cooking, etc.) with my students. As much as I loved being at home I’m so grateful to be back in the classroom with my coworkers & students. Love your vlogs- take care❤️
Hi Taylor! Hope you are doing well! Thanks for taking us on a day in the life! I prefer “going onsite” for work for the social component, but I agree that working from home has its benefits. Sleep is so important!
Hi Taylor, love your video, and your VIEW! my brother and his wife lived in NYC for 10 years (upper west side, then west village, then Brooklyn for 2 years) and they LOVED IT. I personally liked their upper west side appt the most because it overlooked the Henry Hudson River, but they always tell me West Village was their favorite. I always wanted to get into mgmt consulting but I ended up in corporate finance which is where I still am. I am on par with your routines as well (I'm usually up at 6:15a) and I login right away but usually don't work straight through unless we're insanely busy. I go out for coffee everyday!
Aw thank you so much!! Wow 3 awesome locations in NY, good for them 😊🌃 And love your routine! I try to go for coffee or at least a short walk every day too, so important to get outside 😊 thank you so much for watching!!
Omg the realist of vlogs I’ve seen most people stop their careers n we just see them talking beauty n I love the realism of this gives people more want to go out there and get jobs other then beauty n health love it
I’m excited to have a future hybrid model- we are still almost fully WFH. But 2x per week with a lot of flexibility on time to go in is my future. Agreed with most of your pros and cons. I get more done at home cuz I’m not being constantly interrupted. But it is nice to just quickly show someone something in person.
Crushed the like button like that view crushed it! Would love to hear more about how you manage work life balance and what you've learned about business in your first few months of consulting.
Totally could relate with this video! London (UK) has been an epicentre for Covid since the pandemic began, lucky for me we were already hybrid before perks of Project Management but now is mostly from home and I can go to the office whenever necessary, which I actually makes me go in more often 2/3 times a week sometimes! :D Incridible what people do when they are not forced. It's quite beneficial to have a choice because no one can afford central London so travelling is expensive and tiring. Great video and so cheerful, keep it up :)
That's awesome!! Agreed that it's so nice to actually have a choice in the matter 😊 Your hybrid model sounds ideal!! Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed 💜
What’re the times you work each day? Are you working long hours, and if so are you feeling any burnout? How would you suggest to avoid or minimize burnout? Sorry Ik that was a lot, just curious to see your POV on consulting
All really great questions, and no it's not too much! I specifically held off on responding to your comment becauseee... I address it all in my latest video! I talk a lot more about the ins and outs in this one 😊 ua-cam.com/video/yxatKGh_z5s/v-deo.html
I´m living and go to college in germany and just discovered your channel and watch it to get motivated and stuff in the early morning. Real good stuff! keep going
My first job out of college was a remote job as well. It was kind of hybrid if you lived near the office (which I did until I moved). Definitely is nice to be able to go in the office and mingle with other co-workers but I'm pretty introverted and really enjoy working from home. However, going into the office is nice!
I find your videos so interesting as you are basically living my life, but 20 years later. LOL I entered consulting at 24 after university in 2001 and the hours were rough, and there was no concept of working from home. The first year all of my work was in NYC, then they put me on the road and at first it was awesome. But like you said, the 5:00am wake-up calls every Monday and the Thursday (or Friday) rush home started to hurt. LOL Now, I am fortunate in that I have my own business that almost runs itself. I think consulting is a great experience, but it's not an easy one, for sure!
I became much happier working from home. Those face-to-face interactions aren't important to me. A lot of the time in office, it was just random discussions about stuff that didn't matter, which made me feel that my presence was just to fulfill someone's social life. As for showing someone something, we just screen share and voice chat, works the same. I'd just much rather be at home with my cat and personalized work space. Fantastic view BTW!
I LOVE your channel, nearly binged every video and Taylor you are absolutely amazing! Truly setting such a wonderful exampe for young people to not be afraid of aiming high, it's beautiful and inspiring.
Just got this video slid in my recommendations and I must say YT never disappoints me. Great video Taylor. And that view from your desk is to really die for :)
I've been a consultant for a year and this video validated how my past year has been. I honestly felt that I was still yet to experience real consulting 😅
Glad to hear that!! I'm a general business consultant, but have mainly consulted in the financial services industry (and I hope to get on some projects in aviation and consumer products this year). I go over it in more detail in my latest video 😊 ua-cam.com/video/yxatKGh_z5s/v-deo.html
Such a great perspective of working from home. Funny how applicable this video can be even to non-consultants... like myself 😆 Thanks for sharing this Taylor!
Yay! Congrats on 20k! I've been looking forward to this type of videos. It's nice to see your wfh setup and in the same kind of industry (i'm also in my first job post-grad)! Would be nice to invest in a laptop stand to avoid eye strain 😉👩🏻💻
1:18 5-10 minutes after you wake up you’re in front of a zoom meeting still half asleep. 5-10 minutes after I wake up I’m already on the freeway going a buck-10 screaming ac/dc “highway to hell” trying to be less late to work than I already am knowing I’m still half asleep. We are not the same person.... 🤣🤣 Keep up the great work! Edit: 9:30 yep. All that in 5-10 minutes....
I wish my "consulting days" in Chicago were these chill. Congrats for not waiting too long to leave. The longer you wait, the more difficult it is to leave. I waited 11 yrs. 🤪
Hey Taylor! It was fun getting a glimpse into your day. Your breakfast looked so yummy. Made me wonder though, where do you get groceries in NYC? Is there a little grocery store within walking distance of your apartment building? Dinner looked amazing too!
Aww thank you Macy!! Love me an eassyyyy breakfast. And GREAT question ahah it can be tricky finding decently priced groceries. I have a market right at ground level from my apartment which is mega convenient but not the best prices. So I order Amazon fresh groceries to my door when I buy a lot of things at once :) (Wish I lived closer to one of the NYC Trader Joe's 😩)
Heyy girll,,,, watching your video on Monday, what an inspiration, ah! it is not just was fun. Okay bye....untill next time. Oh just saw it is a year old video 😀 but okay
Hi Taylor, congrats on another wonderful video! I started following your channel after I saw your videos about UPenn and it really inspired me to apply there as well. I applied ED this year and on Thursday I found out that I was deferred to the regular decision round. Would you be able to share with me any advice about what I can do to improve my chances of getting accepted? Warm regards, Mandy
Thank you so much!! And congrats 🎉 I'm not totally sure as I applied regular decision, but I would probably try to get an admissions officer's contact and reach out to further express my interest if I were you! Best of luck 😊
hey, cool video. which consulting firm do you work at? also, since you asked for suggestions, it would probably be helpful to have time stamps across the video at every cut (7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, etc)
Great video, loved the details! Would love to see a day in the life with a lot of time stamps. Many of us, like me are looking at the hours of jobs which we are getting into. Just an added detail that make the day in the life better. Thanks again for the video!
This is a nice video to wake up to🙌🏼 really inspiring and I would love more content like this perhaps also more about combining work and what you call having a life👀. Cheers smashed the like 👍🏼
Great video! Would love a makeup tutorial (day-to-day vs. night out), since you always look perfect!! An apartment/room tour would also be great, when you have a sec 👍
Thank you!! I was in a dual degree program at UPenn! So got a degree from Wharton in economics with concentrations in business management and business operations, and a degree in international studies from the college of arts and sciences. Bit of a mouthful haha
i also work from home, im a software developer, and i take some naps...sometimes i dont sleep, but just think about some problems that i need to fix its very usefull for me
I understand you so much! I have been doing this life for 5 years now. I'm a manager in MBBs in Dubai, flying back and forth to Saudi has not been easy at all! Great video anyway!
OMG I love those tiny plants 🪴 Absolutely loved the day in my life video, you should make more of it! I too am a consultant and there’s no way we can have work day with less than 12 hours in front of the computer lol 😆
Thank you so much!! Haha I’m glad someone else likes them too 🪴 and yup tell me about it, that’s how it is most of the time! Ahah thanks for watching 😋
Awesome video! You are obviously very smart and very hard-working. Having said that, the part which bothers me the most about management consultants is they are never responsible for execution. If the end goal is not met, blame is always - failure of execution! The plan produced by management consultants is useful/good but for many projects, it is impossible to have all the model variables well defined. Rarely is there a feedback mechanism to correct them during execution and of course consultants never take responsibility for that.
Just a note: the sauce on the steak is bearnaise, named after French region of Bearn. But 99% of the planet calls it bernaise, perhaps called after the Swiss city of Bern 🤷♂️
Great video! You make the consulting life seem like a lot of fun and you seem like a very energetic person. Would you make a video about case practice and getting into consulting? Thanks!
Thank you so much!! Hahah there are pros and cons for sure, I try to show the good parts 😊 Yes I think I'll talk about that a bit at some point in a consulting Q&A! :) Thank you for watching!!
lol! As Forest Gump famously said "life is like a box of chocolates - you never know what your going to get". Had just logged off from a 'Paris evening walk' walking tour and in the recommendations as I scroll down (how many late nights has that caused me) I spy a young woman staring out promoting this particular video. Why did I click on it? haha! don't really know. Anyway to cut to the chase just the most flawless presentation / editing. The subject matter tbh is only interesting because of the manner in which it is presented - very entertaining. The mastery of the spoken word is quite impressive, not an umm or an aah in the whole video that I could hear. Soooooo I have subscribed - how did that happen?lol! Well done Taylor.
Awww what a sweet, lovely comment! Thank you so much, so happy you enjoyed it despite the subject matter ! And that Paris evening stroll sounds pretty perfect 🇫🇷🥖
I loved this video Taylor!! I have always wanted to be a consultant.. but am more of a creative person than a "heady" one if that makes sense lol. So I wonder if it would be a good fit for me as an entrepreneur :) Thanks for sharing your day! Loved watching
Ahah I know exactly what you mean! Sometimes I feel the same way ahah but you definitely learn some valuable skills regardless! thank you so much for watching! 😊
Do you work from home or are you back in-person?! 💻
Love working 1 or 2 days a week from home. But I live 5 min from the office so this is pretty much the reason. Watch out for these expenses and your standard of living increasing with fancy dinners :P
@@og7952 Makes perfect sense, that's a good balance!! AHaha it's a company dinner, I don't pay for that 😎
@@TaylorBell Fair enough, I understand now why consultants cost a lot. Kidding, we do the same in insurance aha, enjoy!
WFH but going to clients occasionally
@@Michael-ok6pe same pretty much! A hybrid
I am a consultant in Canberra, Australia and its so strange to see the similarities in our days from opposite sides of the world! Keep it up Taylor!
I love that!! Am always curious how consulting differs across countries. Thank you so much for watching! 😊
@@TaylorBell When you say "Hello" you sound Australian! LOL
So you use zoom too !? 😂
Hi Sarah cousins
@신자 adriana starr God call himself as Lord too.
Moisés you have to Go there and save some people.
Moisés Said no... He wanted to call you.
Then God Said. Ok i Will destroy the people you want to save take this cajado Moisés
Moisés took. Lord Said drop It. It became a snake (he is going to be betrayed without the cajado). Lord Said take him at the bottons. Moisés took It. Lord Said now Go. And Moisés Opened the Sea and saved his people.

Aw thanks Nathan, you too!! And yep I’d probably say the same, or a mix of the two at least! 😊
The beauty of remote is getting up 5 minutes before. Way better than getting up early to commute and especially when its cold in nyc.
Tell me about it!
please do more of these!! also would love to know more exactly what consultants do and the work you do during the day:)
Will do!! Perf, will add some more explanations in the next one 😊 Thank you so much for watching!

Crushed the like button like that view crushed it!
Would love to hear more about how you manage work life balance and what you've learned about business in your first few months of consulting.
WOOP WOOP thank you so much!! Ahh that’s a great topic, can definitely talk about that! 😊
Totally could relate with this video! London (UK) has been an epicentre for Covid since the pandemic began, lucky for me we were already hybrid before perks of Project Management but now is mostly from home and I can go to the office whenever necessary, which I actually makes me go in more often 2/3 times a week sometimes! :D Incridible what people do when they are not forced. It's quite beneficial to have a choice because no one can afford central London so travelling is expensive and tiring. Great video and so cheerful, keep it up :)
That's awesome!! Agreed that it's so nice to actually have a choice in the matter 😊 Your hybrid model sounds ideal!! Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed 💜
You are naturally perfect you don't need anything else
What’re the times you work each day? Are you working long hours, and if so are you feeling any burnout? How would you suggest to avoid or minimize burnout? Sorry Ik that was a lot, just curious to see your POV on consulting
All really great questions, and no it's not too much! I specifically held off on responding to your comment becauseee... I address it all in my latest video! I talk a lot more about the ins and outs in this one 😊 ua-cam.com/video/yxatKGh_z5s/v-deo.html
the way she's using the windows as table is appreciable! btw loved your video and this my dream apartment, hope to see myself there soon
Thank you so much!! 😊
From procrastinating from doing work to watching this and then being inspired to actually do it... Thank you ahah
Omg love to hear that 😂 I could use a little motivation myself rn ahah
I´m living and go to college in germany and just discovered your channel and watch it to get motivated and stuff in the early morning. Real good stuff! keep going
This makes me so happy!! Thank you so much for watching 😊 more to come soon
I love seeing what others do in their daily routine. This was a great video!!!
Me too!! Thank you so much😊

"Just woke up Taylor" is a whole different person (in a good way, it's kind of funny)
HAHA facts. My brain literally was not awake yet 😂 and thank you ahah
❤❤❤
My first job out of college was a remote job as well. It was kind of hybrid if you lived near the office (which I did until I moved). Definitely is nice to be able to go in the office and mingle with other co-workers but I'm pretty introverted and really enjoy working from home. However, going into the office is nice!
I find your videos so interesting as you are basically living my life, but 20 years later. LOL I entered consulting at 24 after university in 2001 and the hours were rough, and there was no concept of working from home. The first year all of my work was in NYC, then they put me on the road and at first it was awesome. But like you said, the 5:00am wake-up calls every Monday and the Thursday (or Friday) rush home started to hurt. LOL
Now, I am fortunate in that I have my own business that almost runs itself. I think consulting is a great experience, but it's not an easy one, for sure!
I became much happier working from home. Those face-to-face interactions aren't important to me. A lot of the time in office, it was just random discussions about stuff that didn't matter, which made me feel that my presence was just to fulfill someone's social life. As for showing someone something, we just screen share and voice chat, works the same. I'd just much rather be at home with my cat and personalized work space. Fantastic view BTW!
That's great!! The new way of things definitely has its perks. And thank you so much!!
You are super cute Taylor... Was looking up ServiceNow Business Processing Consultant info and ran across you. Amazing.
Dude you wake up with that face? you have a natural beauty 👏
Aw shucks thank you very much!
That's def not how anyone wakes up
Lol no one wakes up like that, it's dolled up for the video
@@skyward7903 Really? So you thinking me that she is wearing a make up?. I know some girls who don't wear make up and clearly a natural beauty.
Simpanzee!
I LOVE your channel, nearly binged every video and Taylor you are absolutely amazing! Truly setting such a wonderful exampe for young people to not be afraid of aiming high, it's beautiful and inspiring.
The audio choices!! The editing!! The girl!! Loveee this vlog Taylor!
AW you're too sweet!!! Thank you love!! 💜
Just got this video slid in my recommendations and I must say YT never disappoints me. Great video Taylor. And that view from your desk is to really die for :)
Aw Thank you so much!! I appreciate it 😊🌃
I've been a consultant for a year and this video validated how my past year has been. I honestly felt that I was still yet to experience real consulting 😅
Ahaha I know how u feel! A weird time to start in consulting for sure
I love your bubbly personality!!
Awwww thank you!!
Great video! I loved the views and the L shaped glass desk! I loved all the windows! Looks very nice! I enjoyed watching!
Thanks Mike! Loving all the glass myself 😊 thanks for watching
@@TaylorBell You're very welcome! :)
Remote working is great when you hate seeing your boss! All interactions are mainly professional and it does a lot for your mental health!
UA-cam recommended this video. Question: a consultant in what exactly?
Glad to hear that!! I'm a general business consultant, but have mainly consulted in the financial services industry (and I hope to get on some projects in aviation and consumer products this year). I go over it in more detail in my latest video 😊 ua-cam.com/video/yxatKGh_z5s/v-deo.html
@@TaylorBell That is awesome 👌
NYC is definitely an imposing place, but honestly I would take upstate and have a view of a lake any day of the year over a concrete jungle
Such a great perspective of working from home. Funny how applicable this video can be even to non-consultants... like myself 😆
Thanks for sharing this Taylor!
Aw thanks so much!! Hehe I was hoping it would be applicable to non-consultants as well so I’m glad you think it was! 😊 thanks sm for watching
what is your skin care regimen? you look so fresh even in the morning. please it would be nice if you share or make a video about it . thanks
Love this Taylor. Thank you for sharing your day as a consultant.
Thanks so much!! Of course, more of these to come 😊
Finally someone who even includes "the toilet break" in there "Day in my life" youtube videos!
Ahaha tried to make it as realistic as possible! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 😂
I just found your channel and I'm digging your vibes! I love how you edit and your life seems so interesting!!
Awww why thank you so much!! I try to show the best parts ahah but plenty of long nights in front of the computer too 😂
Nice transition; like a blooming flower 😁🤙🏼
Yay! Congrats on 20k! I've been looking forward to this type of videos. It's nice to see your wfh setup and in the same kind of industry (i'm also in my first job post-grad)! Would be nice to invest in a laptop stand to avoid eye strain 😉👩🏻💻
Thank you soo much!! Oh awesome, love to hear it!! Ahah that’s not a bad idea 😂 def plan on enhancing the wfh setup a bit more in the new year
Damn just 3 months ago she was at 20k and now it’s already close to 60k that’s a nice growth, hope you reach your milestone
@@omkarjadhav4645and I’m 2 years she’s reached more than 459k subscribers!
1:18 5-10 minutes after you wake up you’re in front of a zoom meeting still half asleep.
5-10 minutes after I wake up I’m already on the freeway going a buck-10 screaming ac/dc “highway to hell” trying to be less late to work than I already am knowing I’m still half asleep.
We are not the same person.... 🤣🤣
Keep up the great work!
Edit: 9:30 yep. All that in 5-10 minutes....
Woah I remember when you were on Graham Stephan’s podcast and your growth has been incredible since then. Congrats!!!
You're an OG! Ahaha thank you so much, the growth from this vid has been so fun to see 😊
@@TaylorBell your videos have gotten so effortless now too! I am very impressed. Maybe they will have you back on the podcast for a status update :)
@@TylerStanczak Aw thank you so much, I appreciate that! And ahah that’d be awesome
@@TaylorBell I think you could make it happen :)
I wish my "consulting days" in Chicago were these chill. Congrats for not waiting too long to leave. The longer you wait, the more difficult it is to leave. I waited 11 yrs. 🤪
Hey Taylor! It was fun getting a glimpse into your day. Your breakfast looked so yummy. Made me wonder though, where do you get groceries in NYC? Is there a little grocery store within walking distance of your apartment building? Dinner looked amazing too!
Aww thank you Macy!! Love me an eassyyyy breakfast. And GREAT question ahah it can be tricky finding decently priced groceries. I have a market right at ground level from my apartment which is mega convenient but not the best prices. So I order Amazon fresh groceries to my door when I buy a lot of things at once :) (Wish I lived closer to one of the NYC Trader Joe's 😩)
As a man, I have to said, your life is so complex and very good. I have to study like you, have a nice day.
Taylor is living my dream life
Heyy girll,,,, watching your video on Monday, what an inspiration, ah! it is not just was fun. Okay bye....untill next time. Oh just saw it is a year old video 😀 but okay
Hi Taylor, congrats on another wonderful video! I started following your channel after I saw your videos about UPenn and it really inspired me to apply there as well. I applied ED this year and on Thursday I found out that I was deferred to the regular decision round. Would you be able to share with me any advice about what I can do to improve my chances of getting accepted?
Warm regards,
Mandy
Thank you so much!! And congrats 🎉 I'm not totally sure as I applied regular decision, but I would probably try to get an admissions officer's contact and reach out to further express my interest if I were you! Best of luck 😊
Thanks!
Please make more consulting videos! I love them
Definitely will do!! Thank you for watching!😊
girl I realize you have really good thumbnails XOXO
hey, cool video. which consulting firm do you work at? also, since you asked for suggestions, it would probably be helpful to have time stamps across the video at every cut (7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, etc)
Thank you so much!! Ah thanks, that’s a good idea. I’ll include timeframes in my next one 😊
Great video, loved the details! Would love to see a day in the life with a lot of time stamps. Many of us, like me are looking at the hours of jobs which we are getting into. Just an added detail that make the day in the life better. Thanks again for the video!
This is a nice video to wake up to🙌🏼 really inspiring and I would love more content like this perhaps also more about combining work and what you call having a life👀. Cheers smashed the like 👍🏼
Aw glad to hear you liked it!! That's a great topic ahah I take my work life balance very seriously. Cheers and thank youuuu
Yeah we need more daily life of your videos it's so peaceful while watching your vlog ❤❤
Great video! Would love a makeup tutorial (day-to-day vs. night out), since you always look perfect!! An apartment/room tour would also be great, when you have a sec 👍
Aww you’re too sweet, thank you so much 😊 will do both of these videos super soon!! In January is the plan hehe 🎉
Bossa Nova soundtrack, love it ! Thanks!
I wanna know What kind of degree did you get?
Cause this looks fun
Thank you!! I was in a dual degree program at UPenn! So got a degree from Wharton in economics with concentrations in business management and business operations, and a degree in international studies from the college of arts and sciences. Bit of a mouthful haha
i also work from home, im a software developer, and i take some naps...sometimes i dont sleep, but just think about some problems that i need to fix its very usefull for me
😂 Consultants are having similar life style as I can see, I am one🙋🏻♀️with exactly the same attitude of waking up before 5 min from my morning call
Ahaha love it!! So nice to be able to do that sometimes 😊
I understand you so much! I have been doing this life for 5 years now. I'm a manager in MBBs in Dubai, flying back and forth to Saudi has not been easy at all! Great video anyway!
OMG I love those tiny plants 🪴 Absolutely loved the day in my life video, you should make more of it! I too am a consultant and there’s no way we can have work day with less than 12 hours in front of the computer lol 😆
Thank you so much!! Haha I’m glad someone else likes them too 🪴 and yup tell me about it, that’s how it is most of the time! Ahah thanks for watching 😋
Hey! Can u pls tell me how did u become a consultant ? I just graduated high school and I'm thinking about becoming one !
Thanks for the positive energy 💓
Always! Thanks for watching! 😊
Congratulations on your move to NYC! 👏🏽 #Goals
Thank you so much!! 😘
Having some interviews as a business analyst coming up thanks for the updates! Very helpful!😃
Amazing dynamic girl keep going . perfect
Thank you!!
I like your personality!!! AMAZING!!🥰🥰
Awesome video! You are obviously very smart and very hard-working. Having said that, the part which bothers me the most about management consultants is they are never responsible for execution. If the end goal is not met, blame is always - failure of execution! The plan produced by management consultants is useful/good but for many projects, it is impossible to have all the model variables well defined. Rarely is there a feedback mechanism to correct them during execution and of course consultants never take responsibility for that.
She literally wakes up beautiful;) funny beautiful and kind . 3 for 3
Do you have any advice about how much location matters for consulting? I have offers in LA and SF I'm stuck between.
The projects might differ a bit (e.g., SF will have more tech projects), but I'd personally base my decision on whichever city I like better ahah
Have you seen the videos coming out of SF lately? Who would move there?
just curious, how can we be a management consultant "right after school" without prior management experience and skills ?
Just a note: the sauce on the steak is bearnaise, named after French region of Bearn. But 99% of the planet calls it bernaise, perhaps called after the Swiss city of Bern 🤷♂️
Ah didn’t know that! I’ve always called it Bernaise, it’s my fave
The music in playing in the background of your videos is a nice touch.
Greeting from Berlin, the view is amazing. Can't imagine how it feels like to wake up with it. Here in Berlin it's all flat .. no skyscrapers at all
Aw thanks so much! Excited to visit Berlin again at some point in the future 😊 I thought the TV tower was pretty neat hehe
you're so pretty and i love your vibe so much! thanks for sharing a day in your life
Great video! You make the consulting life seem like a lot of fun and you seem like a very energetic person. Would you make a video about case practice and getting into consulting? Thanks!
Thank you so much!! Hahah there are pros and cons for sure, I try to show the good parts 😊 Yes I think I'll talk about that a bit at some point in a consulting Q&A! :) Thank you for watching!!
lol! As Forest Gump famously said "life is like a box of chocolates - you never know what your going to get". Had just logged off from a 'Paris evening walk' walking tour and in the recommendations as I scroll down (how many late nights has that caused me) I spy a young woman staring out promoting this particular video. Why did I click on it? haha! don't really know. Anyway to cut to the chase just the most flawless presentation / editing. The subject matter tbh is only interesting because of the manner in which it is presented - very entertaining. The mastery of the spoken word is quite impressive, not an umm or an aah in the whole video that I could hear. Soooooo I have subscribed - how did that happen?lol! Well done Taylor.
Awww what a sweet, lovely comment! Thank you so much, so happy you enjoyed it despite the subject matter ! And that Paris evening stroll sounds pretty perfect 🇫🇷🥖
I loved this video Taylor!! I have always wanted to be a consultant.. but am more of a creative person than a "heady" one if that makes sense lol. So I wonder if it would be a good fit for me as an entrepreneur :) Thanks for sharing your day! Loved watching
Ahah I know exactly what you mean! Sometimes I feel the same way ahah but you definitely learn some valuable skills regardless! thank you so much for watching! 😊
@Taylor Bell Hehe I see you girl!
You've got my same desktop wallpaper :)
