This video is also a bit shorter but I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments + I'll be making more future content about my new job, the startup life, crypto/NFTs, etc... 🚀
I left consulting for the same exact reasons - I wanted to build my own company and I didn’t see myself becoming a partner at a professional service firm. Im glad you’re pursuing your passion sooner than later!
I quit my job as a registered nurse last two years ago after almost 12 years in the field. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work everyday. No amount of money can buy real happiness lol😁but friends I'm not asking you to resign from your job or abandon your business but be wise!
I don't particularly enjoy enjoy my profession, but i appreciate the benefits it provides for me and my family. People are considering and working in this economy.
You're quite right ma'am how did you prepare before you quit?
@@thelmajack4364 I prepared for early retirement while still in service, earning roughly $1,900 per week from my Investment portfolio while attempting to establish more side hustle and income.
@@lopezclara1782 Stunning! Speaking of inv esting, I've heard of it but I'm not sure where to begin or how to make a decent one. Could you please provide further details?
@@thelmajack4364 There are many Investment alternative available, including real estate, exchange_traded funds (ETFs), stocks, and cryptocurrency, but my best advise is to hire an expert to guide you into a profitable one.
Dude what a vibe! Honest genuine content, I love this kind of stuff!
so excited for your new job!! I just pivoted from Big 4 audit into a consulting firm and hoping to transition into start up companies in the future like you :D good luck with everything!!
thank you & congrats! enjoy the new consulting job :)
Hi! Congrats on pivoting from Audit to Consulting, I'm consideringoving from audit to consulting too, may I know what type of consulting did you exactly pivot to?
We wish all best for your new career. Take care always baby
Thank you for sharing, really inspiring at this point in my life/career. All the best with what you gonna do next! ❤️
Can’t wait for even more vids!
amazing video as always🤩✨
oh my god this just happened with me , I was an intern in a consulting company and I couldn't really finish it. However it's been a while and I am still figuring it out what to do next . I guess I will do better.
Also Congratulations and all the very best for your new journey ! 🌸
When I saw the title of the video, I was like WOAH that went 0 to 100 real quick haha since I only discovered your day in the life video 2 weeks ago. Congratulations and best of luck on your new adventure Aaron! Can’t wait to see the future content!
I procrastinated a bit on editing that video 😅😅 but thank you and excited to share more of it on here :)
As a previous consultant, consulting is the quintessential “fake it til you make it” career. Imagine someone telling you how to improve something that they’ve actually never done in their entire career but something similar “worked” w/ another client and then putting it in a pretty deck, that’s literally consulting (as well as superficial “coffee chats” w/ Partners and Senior Mgrs lol).
All the best for your new journey!! Keep fighting💪🤩
would love to see a video about the pros and cons of starting in a startup company! also best of luck and happy to hear about your interests aligning!
It is nice to explore more when you are young. All the best ;)
loving the music choices !!
What is the song, totally blanking
The song is Hawaii
I just started working in the creative end of a consulting firm and I'm also not sure if this is the career I want in the long run. It's inspiring to know that we don't have to always stick onto one thing and can switch to whatever we feel comfortable in. Hoping for your best in your new career. Good luck :)
Kinda in the same situation, hope i’ll like my new job better 🙍♀️. Love your vibe 😊 good luckkk
good luck and I hope you do too :)
yeyyyyyy new videooo 😊
congrats to find the most suitable choice for you and wish you all the best in web3!!
Really great video! Investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity. And not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed returns. Also do proper research and invest with the right approach. Stocks, forex, crypto currency, real estate, Hedge funds and ETFs are good investments as well.
Great stuff, how did you go about that please enlighten me, I'm interested.
@@user-qg7og5pl3v I made a couple of investments but my investment in forex and crypto has been yielding good profits and I don't think of stopping anytime soon.
@@tinamanuel2305 I'd like to learn more about forex, I've made research but I still get confused at some point, what do you suggest.? Really looking into investing for a long time now. Can you share how you started your investment, type of investments and how you are earning from it please.
Nice one 👏
@@joereid2106 I had similar experience until I met Timothy Scott Taylor my FA, investment or trading is not what you do without proper guidance. He handles all my investment and trading activities and makes sure my portfolio is diversified into various sectors of the market.
if you are not making money while sleep then you are in the bad situation, just you feel numb and don't feel it. a fellow creator
Great video! I'm starting as a consultant this year straight out of university. I think I went in it for the right reasons, however, I noticed that I really resonated with you when you mentioned you like 'responsibility and flexibility', and that you're interested in entrepreneurship and felt drawn to creating and building something. I guess I'll have to wait and see how I feel about the work
that’s very exciting! let me know how it is :)
I like the songs from this vlog!!
I'm an intern at a management consulting firm. I always wanted to work in this area, but now that I know the reality, I try to absorb as many experiences as possible to open my business. I like consulting but I see that it is not healthy in the medium and long term for me.
Kids. Suck it up and be a man.
can you tell us why its not healthy ?
inspiring!
What was your degree you took in college/university? was it just a undergrad?
Hey! I also just graduated from college and ended up working in a consulting firm. I was wondering if you can make a video about how to make the most out of your time in consulting and use it as an opportunity to explore what you’re truly interested in
yes! that's a great idea :)
same situation here, would also love to see a video on that!
Hoping to see some web3 content, I've been in Web3/NFTs for almost 8 months now. Really excited for your new journey, Good luck :)
Please know I am not trying to be rude in any way. I just was waiting for this video because with other management consultant videos they would show their life and then a few months later post a video of them quitting. I just keep on seeing it happen and it's so interesting. I recently watched your vlog awhile back and wondered if you were gonna quit soon as well. Here it is. Legit after many management consultant vlogs they all ended up quitting in a pretty close time frame. I hope all goes well with you now.
how's your web3 startup recently? I'm a vc investor interested in web3. would like to reach out. thanks
how is management consulting pay? Especially in Toronto... i know Toronto is notorious for lower salaries especially for fresh grads
it varies a lot depending on your firm (maybe 70-100k base) but yea still significantly lower than salaries in the US since it’s in CAD
your BGM is always good
Lol I’m starting a graduate job in management consultant soon and I watched your day in the life video before my interview so I’m hoping this video is not too negative haha. But yeah I doubt I’ll be in consulting for more than 2-3 years either
that’s exciting & congrats!! hopefully you didn’t find this too negative :)
Was it easy getting a job in management consulting right after college ? Were they picky with “experience”? Good music btw! 👍🏽
it’s a competitive recruiting process & internship experience is def helpful but they interview a pretty wide range of candidates so it’s important to prep a lot for interviews
@@kwoknation good information, thank you
the spanish song sounds really cool! omg what is that spanish song title? ty in advance!
it’s Hawai by Maluma 🏝
Cool wish you the best.and may i ask you ,where do you see yourself in 6-10 years from now?
Hey man, you didn't ask for this. I'm a new viewer to your channel, I noticed a lot your statements end with a up intonation, even though it's not a question. An up intonation is normally used in a question and makes it sound like you are unsure. Try using a downward intonation in all sentences that are not a question to make yourself sound more confident. :)
I recently created a "I quit my job" video on well which is probably why I got recommended your video. Best of luck with your new job!
i am unsure 😔 but that is very valid advice 🙏 appreciate it!
I actually talk like this too and my mother is always like "why do you always talk like you're asking a question?" 😂 She calls it the valley accent.
Any tips? I landed a degree apprenticeship at Accenture for 3 years. I am 16 and start in August...
Dude thats big
Suggest after u finish that,,,apprenticeship, find a new location. For pay hike n everything. IN d BIG 4 consuting. Its Dog eat DOG. Lots GOOD dogs, n lots evil, also there some slackers where they just blend in trying to wait for other dogs get tired, they jump ahead. BUT the ones actually consultant, do their work, and have high interpersonal communication/set bundaries, bridge the gap (if LARGE coprations clients throw shades, buffer the insult n deliver to lower tier gentally, stand up for team mates, n defend urself etc when partners, other coworkers/managers try to malicious throw under the bus, NOT OVER share ur personal info, or silly things do at work, so ppl wont pass around back stab).
This sounds inane evil. ITS--in every work environment. But just d BIG FOUR is so LARGE, it concentrate a LOT of talented ppl together, thats when the Adequacy is NO longer enough, interpersonal communication skills n over all adaptation comes to play.
When I was 15, my Dad in Busienss consulting,,,,always busy. N told me he had to deal with extremely insane clients wants INSULTING high quality delivery in low budget price, while how to deal with ppl work UNDER u ,that in small companies u contract them to do d work that had to pay 300 workers to feed their family. Etc. n Once a YEar, just take the job that FEEd the Factory/production keep Their Busienss flow, so next yr they keep their PRODUCTION LINE FREE (high quality production line), that when GOOD contract come in, he can have First pick. N dealing with Douch bag bankers, government officials, transportation, docking, booking rentals all sorts.
Its INSANE. Every day diff challenge. IF someone Hired as Junior in BIG FOUR--n they quit, it could be finance, audit, real estate , IT llllall sorts consulting.
That means the company hired them as Junior with no prior experience, n they are NOT going to move UP MUCH. 1 Government REQUIRE large companies to hire New Grad/interms, 2 they do have junior role to fill.
But ppl get HIRED TOO early they do NOT learn MUCH at all, n they stuck in boring role. Thinking they are GOING to move UP, but they never willl, or they move slow very slow, because . MID/HIGH tier high pay constants have MIMIMAL 5-10 yr Professional working experience (matching working field ) . Like something breaks down. They know exact what --Caused it, what they need to do. What this the Possible best choice when there all bad out come with whatever problem solving it is there (things fall apart not at fault but something breaks at clients site, still have to fix for the client).
N usually the NOT evil, NICE honest , good workers are VERY VERY well liked. Cuz the Douch bags in those companies ppl are fed up with, n the ones want SKIP to the top,,,they dont cover well, ppl do NOT like them cuz they see enough of those. They are quickly :”u are fake. “
GOOD LUCK. ITS VERY challenging but HIGH reward. Some Black guy, Indian guy in the team that someone that I know closely,,,,r like just good good good workers, their job get recognized. The Indian guy was sent to d other team innitially, that team manager turn out to be an Karen thats actually abusive . They Unpluged the guy send to diff team, n took the Manager away from “ppl managing all together”. The guy just be thriving ever since. Like so happy. So stories like that are very very common. Thats like Dog eat Dog, but most Tod them are NOT bad dogs, u meet good dogs, they HAVE your back n going forward unified.
Good luck young man. :)
Hi, I'm a huge fan of your tech reviews, please keep going
Like this video and may I know the name of the song in the beginning? Thanks!
it’s Hawái by Maluma!
which background music plz?
Panama looks great. The balance of love and work is crucial!!!! Yet don't you have any fears about the volatility of bitcoin and nft???!
Great quality video!
I support your choice :)
Wow I just saw your management consulting vid
Hmm ‘consulting’ is super varied so there definitely is a range from more exciting ones (e.g. strategy, commercial DDs) to more, let’s say niche areas, like IT implementation / PMO work so would be great to elaborate what you actually did in your job. Management consulting is still a pretty general term in the consulting world which I know the work can range from quite exciting stuff to downright boring
Ya consulting is a really broad umbrella term but my role was in strategy & operations consulting so pretty generalist
Hey man, what specific model is your Canada Goose coat?
I believe it’s the Edgewood Parka Black Label
nice video, greetings from germany
Hello, my name is Ana, I live in Brazil, I really liked your videos, you are very nice, I wish we were friends lol, I love Korea, I hope to visit this wonderful country someday. your videos are great.
do you get paid? how do they pay you if they are a startup?
yes! venture backed startups have a lot of capital these days to pay employees + most startups will offer generous equity as a % of your total compensation
为什么不在b站上传视频
you are really good looking
2:48 SHES SO BEATIFUL
Hie, Can you post a video on how you got into consulting and in which consulting company you were associated with..?? I am from India and i want to get into consulting in Canada, so it would be a great topic for me and other viewers like me..!!
yes! I can def make a video about that in the future :)
@@kwoknation yes, pls.
LFG!
Good decision. Would you recommend a career in Mgmnt Consulting ?
yes! it's a great place to start your career after business school
@@kwoknation Thanx. Projects are always related with strategy/finance (like MBA needed), or not necessarily ? Wich kind of projects did you participated ? Kind regards,
Good Maluma song 👍🏽
hiii ☺️
how much is the range of pay in management consulting?
in Toronto probably around $65k-120k for new grad consultants!
Depends. If u are intern, prob 30-40k something. Doing things that robotic n generic. IF u are FULL time contractor, Full time Junior role, 55-68K depends ur experience,
IF u are like NEW GRAD. Expecting buttom pay :) :) :) , its ITS an UTTER INSULT for the Senior consultants who has gone thru like Full term school, actually worked at least 2-4 diff companies for diff roles with real life experience. That new grad….just auto bump. New grad get over $70000 It NEVER happens. Because their is a cap how much they can do. Very little beyond cozy up to clients. Its unfortunate cuz they are NOT there.
Kinda like Team coach, u cant really coach much when u are like new grad. They do NOT give u coach job so u end up learning. So new Grad going to Big four is not gettin BIG pay.
The ppl make $120/k are HIGHLY skilled ppl CANT even have time to EAT LUNCh that even someone bring food to their desk . They do NOT have time to make youtube videos. Lol.
what is the name of the spanish song in the beginning of the video？ Its so beautiful～
it’s Hawai by Maluma!
可以加上英文字幕吗？😳
which company may I ask?
it was a big 4 firm in Toronto!
Soooo the next Luna Terra? 🤣🤣
What did you study again?
I studied business/finance & economics
What university did you go to?
I went to the university of toronto!
@@kwoknation nice! I’m going to western next year kinda interested in the same career path as you. Congrats
Still thought u were in college
😅😅 i wish
@@kwoknation hehe
커피빈이 저기도 있네
Man I like your videos but what is up with the trashy ghetto music you use sometimes? I can't imagine someone like you listening to that music.
You speak good English for a Chinese person.
thank you i’m canadian
When did he say he is Chinese?
Based on his accent he would be an American or Canadian.
Ethnicity wise, he could be Korean, Japanese, etc
@@kwoknation Nicely handled
Dang, he has such great patience and politeness for people like you. However, I am not the same. It would really benefit you in life if you stopped generalizing people. I'm Chinese, but I don't know Chinese and I have never been to China. Please educate yourself to avoid sounding ignorant.
Take a hike buckeroo
Please remove that lame intro music
hey bro may i have your LinkedIn
