- When I was at university I had no idea what consulting was really about, so hopefully this demystifies the industry a little bit. I also share my experience as a consultant, the things I liked and didn't like and also how I think it compares to other careers.
But I'm now working for a TH-camr called Ali Abdaal as his TH-cam Producer.
I write a weekly newsletter for TH-camrs and about things I learn about TH-cam working for Ali here if you're interested in checking it out: youtubehowto.substack.com/
I also tweet about TH-cam here: / tintinsmith

I did not know anything about consulting but I really want to become a consultant and your video helps a lot. Love from India ❤
Even I'm not a consultant, def love your cool-nerd style 😚
Thank you Tintin :)
I desire to be come a consultant. am in my first year in university, majoring development studies am seeking advice on how to achieve my goal
Thanks for the insight. 🙂
No worries!
,@@tintinsmith I love your content by the way. I am interested in consulting at the moment.
Hi Tintin! It would be nice and helpful if u could share some more info about the hiring process u went through, the qualifications needed, how did you prepare for the interview in general. I'm a new subscriber and your content is really inspiring :)
Hey Matteo! Glad you’re enjoying it, interesting that you want to hear about that, I’ll try to make a video about it in future! Thanks for the comment :)
Fingers crossed!
I LOVE CONSULTING
Hi Tintin! I like your videos! They all look amazing! Just planning to go to the UK to study a GDL, but not sure if can use the GDL result to apply for graduate programmes :( Do you have any thoughts on that? Thankss
So as you did consulting
What would be your opinion on the salary ?
depends on the salary! but broadly very good
No skin in the game is totally a tricky aspect, great perspective
Thanks Tomas! Yeah I think it’s an important idea, Nassim Taleb has a book called Skin in the Game which I’m keen to read in the future, I’m sure it’d give some more useful perspective
@@tintinsmith I think it is tricky though as having skin in the game also clouds perspective with agenda/politics/tactical mentalities - can be extremely hard to be truly strategic (which almost requires some dispassion) while you are in the trenches of a problem/organisation. Its something I think you mentioned at the front of the video around the focus of consulting needing to be on value added to clients, and having a professional pride around that and using it to create an almost virtual skin in the game.
Yeah completely agree, I do mention when I talk about skin in the game the benefit of perspective which you’ve just mentioned, I think thats also really valuable

It was deep
Wonky intro - I rate it boi
Yeah just messing you know, all about trying new things :)
How old are you ?
25 at time of posting :)
You are so cute hhh
How can you give advice without experience? You have absolutely zero business or work experience. Is this what companies pay millions for?
That’s an aspect I still don’t understand if I’m being quite honest. This is a good video, but yeah, how do consultants, who tend to be recent graduates, lend weight to their ideas and arguments?
