What I Spend in a Month as a Management Consultant in London

[@paulmaddison121]

I am an IT contractor. Before the lockdown I had to work on site for all my contracts, so was in London for years. Now work is mostly remote so I can live on the river in Liverpool city centre in a 2 bedroom apartment for less than a bedsit costs in London working remotely. I am amazed rents have not collapsed in London with remote working, hardly any companies are 5 days a week in the office now. I would explore airbnb for a few days and live somewhere else in the country Living in centre London this day and age is financial madness, granted the culture is great and there is lots to do etc but living costs are astronimical and not worth the lifestyle. Its much much better in the likes of Liverpool, Bristol and Manchester in my opinion. Even seaside places on the south coast are a better option

You should do a tour on your new apartment

Kudos for being so frugal. I hate it when young people spend money on frivolous things. I think its bad behavior and not appropriate especially when they are just beginning their financial journey as working adults.

Do you have a stocks & shares ISA Abbey? Understand from finance channels that that's the best way to save long term, just have to ignore the fluctuations.

Please can you make a video on how to go through the Cambridge application properly and how have credits with the personal statement and also talk about your application and the personal statement that got you into Cambridge

Such a nice blazer! What is the brand? ✨

[@AbbeyRobinss]

Thank you! It’s OddMuse, a little spenny but can be worn with literally anything and I wear it all the time, so in my opinion it is worth it!

[@engineeringmadeasy]

It's very strange, that Oxbridge Engineering graduates often end up in Finance or types of jobs. Most of them dont do what they mention in their Personal statement. 🤣

You are absolutely right. She has a masters in chemical engineering, it's really confusing. Why is that the case, you think?

[@Cardioid2035]

do you enjoy what you do?

[@AbbeyRobinss]

I do, I get to deep dive into how big companies function which I find interesting!

[@ducnguyentai6975]

Whereabouts in central London can you find the rent at 988 pounds? 😯 such a gem!

[@lucysjourney]

She shares with a flat mate and 988 is half so it closer to £2000

[@engineeringmadeasy]

I'd just move to a village just because of that rent

Hello😊 I have a question: Is your current job closely related to your degree ( che eng. ) ?

[@AbbeyRobinss]

My current job is not in the engineering field however it does require problem solving skills which are massively developed in an engineering degree!

[@atanusarkar8384]

@@AbbeyRobinss So, do u plan to move on to hardcore che. eng. jobs, eventually? Actually, I am also an eng student (last year), I'm tryna get an idea about the pertinent job market.

[@engineeringmadeasy]

What does actually Corporate Consultant do 😂. What is that?

[@AbbeyRobinss]

Great question. We basically aid companies on their business management and corporate strategy, by doing analysis and advising on solutions to problems.
