Your enthusiasm is impressive, a great asset in any industry.

[@bykchoi]

thank you!!

[@Ricccardo80]

Thank you so much for posting this very interesting videos. Once more, congratulations on the moving to your new place. I wish you a happy weekend 😊

[@MsOverachiever9513]

Awesome video! I was recently offered a position at a healthcare tech company that requires travel so this is very helpful to know, especially since I plan on working my way up to the Consultant position within the company!

[@elliegrizz]

Hi Kchoi, I am always looking forward for your new videos! and I'd always find great comfort in watching you (for like 3 years now!). You really inspire me to do well in my job even though I am not a consultant by profession but still, I love your authenticity in creating this type of vids! Hope you could create more vids perhaps on project management for different clients? I am working as a campaign manager for an advertising agency and sometimes find it challenging to handle or manage multiple clients with different output expectations. Just sharing! :)

[@ND-dd5sp]

I’m graduating soon from my undergraduate degree in HRM, and I got an interview to become a trainee recruitment consultant. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾😮‍💨! Love your content !

[@ra_vlogs998]

Thank you so much for all your consulting-related videos (and even your day in the life of a consultant vlogs)! I'm a junior in college with a science background - your videos definitely helped me a lot to get to know the industry better as I transition to the industry.

[@bykchoi]

this makes me so happy! good luck! :)

[@nickstemberger1289]

I appreciate this video! I'm graduating with my MBA in Supply Chain/International Business later this spring and I'm excited to apply to consulting firms. This was just what I needed. ☺️

[@bykchoi]

yay good luck!

[@alanrutherford5724]

Great video (as usual) and great list! Most of your reasons have also applied to my career in public accounting while serving privately-held middle market clients, especially the exposure to so many different types of businesses and non-profits, and the variety from one day to the next. (Big 4 - not so much.) Still interesting, after all these years.

[@bykchoi]

glad you could relate!

[@vandabiss]

loved this vid! i hope u have settled well in your new apartment :))

[@bykchoi]

getting there!

[@xliu6848]

Hello Kchoi, your vedio inspired me to study change mgt, and I'm going to graduate soon. Thank you very much!😘love to see more videos about work productivity. love u! 😘 Take care!

good luck!!

[@Foreverizzy5]

It’s great to see someone enjoy their consulting job :) I’m in consulting as well but my clients are not in the private sector- which is a different beast 😆. Have you made a video on federal consulting ?

[@bykchoi]

i have not! and i don't know too much about it but would love to know more!

[@Foreverizzy5]

@@bykchoi I think it would be a good idea to interview someone who does it. I do that type of consulting and there are so many moving pieces and advice out there especially for those who are new to consulting :) Government Clearance, Contract Renewals, networking you have to do etc.

[@ddaphne4718]

Do you enjoy consulting

[@Samir-tr3he]

Also, you mentioned you have been in consulting for 4 years now. Do you have any videos available on different types of exits and what that process is like? In terms of how long one would have to be in consulting to successfully exit into their desired field, etc.

[@bykchoi]

I have a video about exit opportunities (mentioned in point #10)! don't necessarily have how long you need to be in consulting to go into that field... but it would be a combination of your consulting experience + other experience you have. Or what type of work you did during your consulting experience.

[@funwithsarah1586]

@4:00 this perk is not true for some consultants compagnies. I work as a UX Designer in France and I need to go onsite everyday. This depends of the clients compagnie of course but lots of them ask that consultants come work onsite.

[@tusharpandey962]

In which consulting company are you working?

[@krishnasamandhayala2584]

How easy it is for people from marketing background to break into mbb or big 4?

[@Samir-tr3he]

Do you think travel will ever return? I feel that those perks were one of the draws for new grads to pursue consulting.

[@bykchoi]

not sure! i don't think the type of travel i was doing will be the same for a while (going to clients for half-day to 2-day meetings, sometimes multiple clients in one week), but maybe the type of travel that's the more "typical" consultant lifestyle (traveling to the client side on monday, staying there until thursday/friday). all depends on what the client wants though.

[@haeunlee7769]

There are diverse sectors and departs in consulting like finance, strategy, risk, ESG. Did you decide one before staring a work? Thanks for your video😍

[@bykchoi]

well i work in change management consulting specifically so sort of! i didn't pick any specialty once i joined my firm

[@haeunlee7769]

Thx. Can you explain in terms of ESG consulting? In korea, this topic is significantly hot in corps and consulting firm. Curious State!

[@nicolasm9391]

Can you go into detail about what a consultant does? Like giving an example of a recent job you had in change management. I'm still not sure what are the things a change management consultant does; I understand what it means to do (like, the goal of change management consultant) but not the things that are done.

[@bykchoi]

My vlogs are probably the best for that! I don't ever go into too much detail though.

[@nicolasm9391]

@@bykchoi why not? Can't you talk about something you did years ago. Or something a friend that works on the same field did? You don't even need to say the names of the companies just be like "company x" company y"

[@bykchoi]

I touch on things in vlogs (facilitating a session for a company about X, or traveling to the client to help lead a workshop). I'm just very risk-averse so I am very cautious about everything I share online in general :)

[@kayflip2233]

Technically you're not supposed to work from anywhere as there are tax implications for your employer based on your physical location. Has to be approved by HR before you leave your state and even city in some states.

[@bykchoi]

good point! when i fill out my time entry sheets, i have to mark off where i'm working so that part is covered. i was also thinking about how in many cases, you can get hired regardless of your location. :)

[@octaveekewou1563]

It pretty amazing how versatile consulting jobs are. Can I be a consultant? Even if I have a tech background.

[@bykchoi]

a tech background is probably very useful!

[@octaveekewou1563]

@@bykchoi Thank you.

[@alpha29637]

Hey kchoi, If you don't mind may I ask what did you study in your bachelors and masters, I mean the courses and if you did ur masters from an American university can you pls tell me the name of the university :-)

[@bykchoi]

bachelor's in english from uc berkeley and master's in management from UCL (university college london)! between undergrad and grad school i worked in public relations for ~3 years

Heey thank uu great video I'm in high school majoring in economics and I'm dreaming about becoming a management consultant in Mckinsey ur helping 💖💖❤🤝

good luck!!

[@prasadpatil7675]

Can I get into Hedge funds/private equity after doing a Masters in Management then working as a Management Consultant?

[@lookitsnics]

You said that there are transferable solutions in your line of consulting since it involves change management. Would this transferability be rarer in other consulting areas like strategy? Since this would be more nuanced to the industry itself

[@bykchoi]

possibly! i still feel like there are only so many solutions and even strategies. but to your point, different industries or types of businesses would have different strategies. I can still see things applying cross-industry though.

[@letechnicaljames]

Me: Watches as a New Consultant. What type of consulting? I am on Data Engineering Team.
