Prob my most HIGHLY requested video to date!!! 🤠 What are your thoughts on this ~interview process~ ???
Hey "Bell Grande" great job explaining the process! What questions would you ask the interviewers once "the tables were turned"? I'm not sure about the consulting world, but asking the interviewer good questions is key.
Also, do you recommend your audience to perform mock casing with multiple people at once?
Lastly, I'm sure you'll be due for a raise or even a promotion this year. Maybe consider including the negotiation process in one of your vids. Keep up the great content!
what framework did you use for your interview
Nice channel, boy we have a lot in common. NYC is a huge city , maybe I should do a video on my position in a city that makes NYC look like a side order of French Fries CHONGQING CHINA
LOVE your channel and content !
YOU..YOU..ILOVYOU..ILOVYOU..YOU..YOU..ILOVYOU..ILOVYOU..ILOVYOU..YOU..YOU..YOU..OVYOU..YOU..YOY
Great video! Good honest advice, well structured, well elaborated. Good video and sound quality. Subscribed!
I am so so so happy I found this channel. Finishing up my bachelor's in management and am going to be a consultant in NYC as well. Looking forward to binging your videos three next few days!
As a junior year business student I'm so glad I found your channel when I did! I'd love to see a video on extra-curriculars if that's something you'd be willing to talk about, maybe some personal examples or how best to apply your personal interests to strengths utilized in consulting
Perfect timing for this video as I have my first interview scheduled this week. In the email they only mentioned it being a general screen interview to go over my resume and experiences, so maybe a little different process than what traditionally happens but I’m excited/nervous nonetheless
Career coach here scouting out work "Day in the Life" videos for my clients! :) Your video was informative and helpful for anyone exploring management consulting. Thanks for all the great resources. Looking forward to more videos!
Great video Taylor and so much fun to watch and so calming too :)
your videos are always interesting and I like your honesty, and professional approach to the topic. hello from London.
Hey Taylor, I have recently subscribed to your channel. The content that you share around Consulting is extremely value-adding and helpful. Thanks a ton! Love from India :)
Hi Taylor! Just started watching your videos a few days ago and they are awesome. Love the content and how you are able to explain and tackle some of the most asked questions in the area. Keep up the good work! :D
Hiii there! Thank you soo much, so happy you’ve been enjoying these vids 😊
This channel is so entertaining and full of info. Any time I watch, it pumps the energy and pushes you to the dreams. I just feel I am 23 :)
I LOVE your videos Taylor! Thank you so much it helps a lot!
thank you SO much!!! I'm so happy to hear that 💜 😊
After watching three of your videos one after the another I feel super motivated to become a management consultant!
Great video! Would love to hear more about your change of heart from finance to consulting, what were some reasons for not going back into finance and what advice do you have for students that are tossing up between these two industries?? Thanks
Great video Taylor.
Would also be interesting to learn how to switch your career into management consulting. I am personally working in tech sales at a startup and wanted to learn how to get into management consulting.
Perhaps you might have some colleagues who have gone with that journey.
Ooooo was waiting for this!! Been watching u for awhile but I’ve been loving your content the last few months❤️
woohooo thank you so much 😊 Makes me happy, have been putting in extra time the past few months 😊
Your video is super helpful! The advice helped me land an internship at one of the MBB firms!
You are very good at explaining things that I can understand. Keep it up!
Aw thanks Audrey!! Happy to hear that 💜
Don’t stress about going to X or Y university. I didn’t go to an Ivy League and my first job was at GS in London. Be good at what you’re doing and enjoy your life!
Super solid advice! I had just gone through the Case interview process at an MBB in the fall and this was very accurate to my own experiences :) Thank you for all your videos and everything you share! Love to see more transparency in the process that people only learn in business school
Awww of course, so glad you enjoyed! And hope your interviews went well 😊
Loved your video Taylor , looking forward for more videos from your side 🥰🥰
Thank you so much!! 😊
Nice and succinct with all the key details covered!
This video was INCREDIBLE!!! Thanks so much for the advice 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Aw thank you sooooo much Johan! Glad you liked it 😊
Very exciting to heard your explanation..thank you.. 😁🙏
Great video! Lots of great information! Congrats on all the new subscribers you've gained in this past week! :)
Thanks so much Mike! It's been very exciting 😊
@@TaylorBell You're very welcome! 😊
Beautifully Explained
Taylor you're looking gorgeous and compelling as always. As a global management consultant (mainly focused on EMEA and APAC) this was an interesting video and I enjoyed it and watching you obviously as you know.😍🥰😍
Please do a video about career progression in consulting! How long does it take to become partner? Work life balance? Compensation? etc.
Taylor , thank you for the video maybe you could start a business where people can book sessions with you online to practice their case interview skills! I know I would certainly love to do that with someone with your experience prior to a formal case interview!
Precise and on point, love it!
Thank you so much!! 😊
@@TaylorBellHey Taylor, I am in my first year of graduation and I wish to join the big 3 after graduation. Should I start my preperation from now itself? Also I am interning as a creative content writer for a small company, would this experience be of any value for a consulting placement or should I look a business/consulting related internship?
Hi Taylor! I stumbled across your apartment hunt video a few days ago, and I’ve been watching through your other videos since. Loving your channel! I’m also a 20something in NYC. 😊
Hi Hannah!! Aww thanks so much, makes me happy to hear! Hope you're staying warm here ❄
Thank you taylor! I'd love to see your resume!
Very interesting video once again, I've interned at an engineering consulting firm (aerospace R&D) and the interview process was interesting, there were some kind of group activities with something similar "case-study"-like but it was much much much more laid back than your case studies, it was more of a back-and-forth group brainstorming than something so in-depth that you prepare for at home. I didn't like my actual experience at the place even though on the surface i was involved in interesting projects and had nice teams because i felt underpaid and undercommunicated lol and that demotivated me which made me work less etc, but tbh it was just an internship and i haven't even graduated even though i'm your age.
BTW on that note, some content that you could make that may be appreciated by the YT algorithm and that you touch on this video could be something like "Advice for my X year old self (14? 18? idk. 18+ probably better for adsense & CPMs i'd guess) as a Consultant" or something like that lmao. Doesn't concern me anymore but i'd still watch it lol. might get some hate tho considering the "why do ppl hire 23 year olds for consulting" response you've had, some ppl dont like young ppl giving advice even tho they're the ones that know what's like being interviewed by boomers and can talk about what's like lol
I'd also like to ask if you've seen any coworkers or people from other companies that you know (or ex-classmates albeit unlikely considering ur ivy league) etc that were failures in life but got their shit together and are now working at environments like yours. I don't personally think I wanna go into consulting again but I don't wanna cross any paths and since you mention the "story" component is paid attention at fit-based questions maybe it's not as crazy as an idea as it may seem.
Oh and like Isabel, I'm international too so if you could gather some insider info on when do companies like yours select internationals when they literally have ivy league right there at their feet i'd like to know about that. Not sure if these last two are video worthy but i see a lot of intls (esp. indians) in the comments so maybe this last one could make for an insightful video.
Even though this topic has nothing to do with me your thumbnails are so clickable Taylor! Awesome job 👏🏻
Aw thank you Macy!! 😊💕
Omg I watched all your videos and just realize I hadnt suscribed 🤭just hit the buttom 🥰💪🏻love your videos!!!
Awww thank you so much for watching! No worries at all hehe 💜
You're eyes are so hypnotic!! Another great video. Can you also do a video of any books that you are reading/recommending that have helped you in your life please? Many thanks Taylor. Keep up the good work. :)
Thanks very much! Will def do some type of book content on here soon :)
Wow this video came out right when I needed it! I just decided to do a career change and I'm now trying to get into consulting so this was super helpful! Thank you :)
OMG fantastic! Glad it was good timing for someone, already got a few DMs saying "where was this vid a month ago when I was interviewing 😩" ahhaah best of luck! 😊
but also do you have any advice on how to get my foot in the door into consulting if I have been working in another industry for a year outside of college? like should I go back to school and get my MBA first or is it possible to land a job if you aren't in school anymore?
What job do you work now?
@@TaylorBell So I was pre-med and after graduation in 2020 I decided to take a gap year to figure out if I truly wanted to go to medical school. I've been working as a nursing tech ever since then but I decided that med school was really not for me and instead I wanted to follow my passion for consulting/business. So basically now I'm here trying to figure things out 😅
Thank you so much!! You’re the best💕🤩
Aw of courseee! Thank you for watching 😊 💜
Awesome vid, thank you for this.
Definitely helped me get some clarity in regards to consulting as I wasn't able to gather a proper first-person opinion anywhere else, am honest one for that.
Thanks so much, and of course! Glad it was helpful
This video was very helpful. Thank you!
I'm so glad!! Thanks for watching😊
This was such an awesome video Taylor, you actually mentioned you did two internships! Could you make a video about where you interned and your experience in those industries?
Thank you Alex!!! 😊 Yesss I sure can
Simp
Hey Taylor!!!! You did it!!!! Thanks again for that Nemo pop up 🙂 ! (I was the one who asked about your fav. dory character) Do you like oysters? and how do you like to eat your salmon?
Yessss happy to finally drop this vid! 😊 I do not like oysters, and I like Salmon with a brown sugar glaze and sesame seeds 😊
You so totally rock, Taylor !
AW how nice!!!
Well Taylor you've truly come into your own. Very impressed with your ability to engage with your fans and provide extremely concise and helpful content not to mention leaving them wanting more. Your alma mater would be proud. I especially loved your advise to the 13 year old. Life is meant to be enjoyed especially at that age! Keep up the good work!
On a completely different topic: Rams or Niners?
Thank you so much Lou!! Appreciate the kind words. Ahaha yeah, I just hope that kid doesn't stress too much 😂 Sounds like the over-achiever type, I'm sure he'll do well with whatever he tries. And neither, I'm an Eagles fan 😎 What's your team?
@@TaylorBell Eagles. Interesting. Was that because you went to Wharton? Actually I'm a Giants fan. Unfortunately, haven't had a lot to cheer about for some time now!😂😂
Thank you for this information!!! I’ve decided I too would like to get into healthcare consulting in NYC
You're very welcome!! That's awesome, best of luck! 🎉
Awesome video Tay! Thank you for being so clear and explaining everything in such a gentle and informative way! I have one question, do consulting companies hire people from other countries as well?
Aww thanks so much Isabel!! 😊 YES they absolutely do! The whole work visa process can be a little tricky, but yep they definitely hire internationals 😊
I can watch this all day ... :)
I have watched the first two seconds atleast 20 times. Love the way you said hello
Ahah thank youuuuu. Love throwing on an Aussie twist when I say hello lol 🦘🇦🇺
As someone who transitioned out of Industry and into consulting with a major international firm after two years, I can say that these tips are spot on. One thing I would really stress that was briefly mentioned by Taylor is brushing up on your mental math well in advance (2 weeks minimum) of your case interview. You'd be shocked how much your quick percentage skills deteriorate if you aren't using them regularly, even as someone coming from a math heavy industry.
Which industry did you transition out of? I'm a BBA graduate, and I'm wondering if it is too late.
Wow, those case studies sound intense! I would be so nervous if I had one! Hope you are having a great weekend!
They’re definitely a little nerve wracking! Ahah and you too Nathan!😊
This is so informative and helpful, appreciate the great insights. You rock Taylor
Aw I’m so glad! Thank you so much!! 😊🎉
That video was totally wicked dude!!
Hey thanks man!!!
Dam Taylor!! Your back at it again with another great video. :) A very insightful and educational video. And BTW I have smashed that like button once again!! I dont know why more people are not subscribed to your channel. Lol
#TeamTaylor
Awww thanks as always Daniel!! #TeamDaniel
I can see why you're successful in the business and consulting area. You're well spoken, thorough and have a strong confident presence. Hearing about the case interview and all these interrogation like scenarios in the interview process is just cringy. I've always been intrigued by business, completed my minor in business and even finished an interdisciplinary engineering management undergrad degree (masters in pure mechanical engineering though). The process for engineers can be daunting and extremely stressful with such as personality interviews through Gallup, homework-like tests during in-person interviews, and brainteaser type questions at some heavy-hitter companies. Interesting you mentioned superday interviews....Pratt & Whitney flew me out on-site a couple of times and called them superdays...I didn't realize that was a common title for on-site final interviews. The process of interviewing post-pandemic has been great though, often restrained to an HR screen and simple panel TEAMS calls for an hour or 2 max.
Thank you soo much for those nice words! And that’s awesome. Pratt & Whitney is a super cool company! Interesting how much the hiring process has changed post-pandemic. Sounds less stressful in most ways
Would be interesting to hear more about whether you received other offers besides OW after your final round and if so what factors went into your decision to choose OW etc
Greetings from a fellow OW colleague (although an intern in KS) from Germany.
Great, helpful video! Thank you!
Thank you so much!! Glad it was helpful 😊
Love your video’s!!
Thank you so much!! 💜
Hi Taylor! Thank you for providing all of this helpful insight! I'm wondering about the timeline of your onboarding process. Specifically, when did you actually start working at the company after you were hired? Did you start the summer after you graduated or in the fall?
Hey, Taylor!
I'm not so interested in a consulting sphere, but I really like you talking, keep on please))
Hahaha well thank you so much!😊
I'm two minutes in and the video feels like an answer to a case question:)
ahah you're not wrong!
This is a great and useful video, I'm looking forward to an video about investment banking or private equity
Thank you! And awesome hehe
This was an awesome and an informative video! Hopefully I'll make it to an consulting firm in the upcoming years. Here's a big THUMBS-UP for this video. 👍
And please say hello to Willie and biscuit from my end. :)
Thank you so much, so happy you liked it! And best of luck on your journey 😊 awwww love that you know their names, I’ll tell them hello from you right now 🐶🐶
I came across your channel yesterday and I have already watched almost all of your videos. You are making great content which is really helpful, especially for me as I am aiming to apply to UPENN (Wharton) next year.
Also, it would be really great if you can make more videos about Wharton and guide people like me.
Aw Thank you so much!! Glad they’ve been helpful 😊
Great video angel Taylor. Thanks.
Thanks very much for watching! 😊
I personally have no interest in consulting but this is a fantastic video for those that do and I believe some of the tips could transfer to other careers! Thanks for the great content.
Aw thanks so much for watching anyway!! Happy to hear that 😊
@@darthvader1793 it is just not something that peaks my interest. I rather work on building my own business than giving someone tips to grow theirs.
Your channel is really amazing. Really wish to someday have a work area like you in New York!
Thank you so much!! Best of luck, it's a fun place to live for awhile 😊
@@TaylorBell yeah, New York is superb!
As someone fairly new to this whole ‘management consulting’ thing, your videos are super helpful. My question is, what are some hard skills/technical skills you need to acquire to get into this field?
If possible, can you somehow share your résumé? It will help me a ton to see what a profile of someone who works at a consulting firm looks like.
Thanks so much! And will be doing a separate video on skills needed, excited to make that one 😊
Ur videos are amazing I am also pursuing my career in finance and Entrepreneurship ur videos really motivates me to do great . Thanx Taylor 😃 really appreciate ur hard work in making such nice videos . Love from India 🙂❤️
Love to hear that, thank you so much! 😊
Can you do more Videos about living in NY or a day in my life in NY? Thank you for uploading this useful video!
I absolutely can! Have been riding the consulting wave lately but will be back to adding in some NY content very soon 😅
Hi Taylor, thanks for this super informative video! A question: how was the process of applying for jobs? Did you need to send several cvs, how much interviews were you getting…?
she's already living my dream life.
Aw 😊 there’s definitely some less pretty parts behind the scenes! Ahah
foof I love Nemo
great video keep um coming
Nemo is the best!! Thanks so much
Good video, Tay
Thank you so much!!
I enjoyed the tips and Humour! :-P
Woohoo! Thank you
I find it very funny how i have been a big fan of Graham for years and i found you some months ago because of consulting, and it took me a while to see that you too did a video together 😂
Ahaha yep I went on the podcast when I first started my channel!
@@TaylorBell omg hello haha yeah I've already binged the podcast + the related videos (that's what happens when you work from home and need something in the background haha) i really enjoy the consulting content, i am trying to transition from law to consulting and i can't get enough of it! 😂😅🎉
12:16 Rightly said about fit-based questions.
I love the memes you put in your videos like the forest gump XD
Thank you!! Ahaha and yay I'm glad you like them too 😂 😊
@@TaylorBell ofc memes are engaging and makes a good impact. Everyone likes a laugh or two don't they ?
I have no interest in consulting but it sounds cool! You explain things in such a great way
Why thank you, I can be pretty cool for sure! And thanks so much, glad you think so 😊
Thank you for the free Finding Nemo picture... I would have liked anyways 😊💕 Loved listening to your experiences with your interview process!
Aw you’re the best Lindsay! 😊💕❤️
Can you do a video on your internships while in college? Great vid btw
I can!! Thanks so much 😊
Awesome video (as per 😉) I've applied for so many internships and placements (not sure what they're called in the U.S.) I feel like I've gone through the process so many times 😂😂 I struggle greatly with the recorded virtual interviews as the lack of human interaction is odd and I'm socially awkward at the best of times. After finally getting the phone call that I got accepted for a one year placement I was so in shock I asked the recruiter 5 times if they were being for real 😂😂
Thanks so much!! Woohoo congrats!! And yuuup I don’t think I’d do as well virtually either
I went to CC for 2 years and transferred to a 4 year public state school. It’s definitely possible to get into a consulting company (in my case big tech) even if you didn’t go to an Ivy😊
Pls make a video on finding remote consulting jobs/internships. (If possible)
May I say that you communicate so well that I believe that you would be great on the FOX Business Channel.
Aw wow thank you so much! How nice
You set a high bar in these videos - definitely educational for all and anyone curious what life after school is like. My question, though rather trivial, is how your current and possible future employer deals with your online presence? Soon you will hit a million + subscribers and everyone in your field will know who you are. Do you think you will go solo sooner than anticipated? Cheers from Norway.
Also, and off color, you would be an amazing agent for higher end athletes. My 0.02.
Thank you so much for the nice words 😊 And that’s a great question! Lots of people at my firm (including my staffer, career advisor, and every manager I’ve worked with) know about my TH-cam channel. I have not posted anything that I wouldn’t feel comfortable with them seeing, which I think is a good rule of thumb to go by (not that I would even if they didn’t know about my channel, but you know what I mean). In general, I don’t get TOO personal on here (that’s just not my style), so I think it will be fine for future employers as well 😊 and cheers from California (where I am right now!) I have wanted to visit Norway for such a long time
And thank you so much!!
i got a consulting book for fun and even though i havent really read it i hate you for being good at math
¡Hola Taylor!! 😊 Antes de ir a cenar (aquí en España ya es de noche y los españoles cenamos muy tarde 😅) he visto el vídeo y le he dado al like 👍🏻😁
Estarían bien más vídeos sobre Nueva York y cómo es la vida en la “Gran Manzana” 😃
Yo también estoy trabajando fuera de mi ciudad (soy de Valladolid, ciudad del norte de España, pero ahora trabajo para la Administración pública en Córdoba, en Andalucía 💃🏻😀) ¡Un saludo!! 🤗🤗
Hola Javier! Yo también comí muy tarde cuando estuve en España 😂 muchas gracias por el "like" y buen fin de semana! Haré muchos vídeos de Nueva York muy pronto 😊 ah y es un trabajo muy interesante el que tienes!
hey taylor, please keep making such videos. any advices for a Canadian university student who is planning to work in the New York-based finance and investment industry in the near future?
Hi Taylor! I recently got an internship offer from a big four for tech consulting, do you think consulting has better exit opportunities than big tech for an engineering student? I am torn between the two. Also, love your channel keep up the good work!
You are perfect! Intelligent and beautiful inside out!
Aww you’re too kind! Thank you 🥺
Hey Taylor thanks again for yet another honest insight video. How do get comfy on camera? And what do you like best about consulting?
Helllo! Of course, thank YOU for watching! I must admit I've always been fairly comfy on camera (modeling in high school plus TH-cam for 1.5 years now) BUT I would still say that my camera presence has improved A LOT during my time on youtube. So, in short, time and practice 😊 I like the camaraderie with my fellow entry level consultants the most!
@@TaylorBell thank YOU for replying! I like this answer. You’re like my modern pen pal in the year 1871 writing with a feather pen. Burning question: do you think consulting’s for everyone? What kind of person (upbringing personality skill set) does consulting attract in your opinion?
Taylor, you give me a motive
I'm glad!!
Loved the video all the way and important things to learn to get in to consulting firms and could you share how to get an interview or prepare a resume so that it stands out form IVY league students ain order to get an interview in MBB and all other consulting firms....... and Eagerly waiting for the second part missed the dog in this video.....👍🏻
Thank you so much!! I’d say just having as strong of metrics as possible on your resume and LOTS of networking with contacts at the respective firm! Hahaha Aw more pup content to come 🐶🐶😊
Seductive thumbnail 🔥
i am in love the way you play with your face ( eyes, eyebrow, lips ) ......u should give chance to series acting
Hi Taylor! Penn freshman here :) Love your video and channel a lot! Do you have any tips on handling consulting club applications specifically at Penn? I literally have no experience and I really wanted to get involved but unfortunately I was rejected from all the clubs last semester.
Hiiii there! Hope you’re loving it so far 😊 oh man I know it’s stressful. I actually wasn’t in any of the consulting clubs, but I know how frustrating that process can be. Keep applying around to options you find interesting and I’m sure you’ll end up happy and meeting amazing people no matter which clubs you end up doing 😊
I have in fact incinerated the like button
I really like your vlog
Thank you!! 😊
Why are you so clever! 🥰
Aw why thank you!😊
Hey Taylor, thank you for another wonderful video! Couple of questions - Did you have to do a case interview to get accepted into an internship? Do advanced degree applicants have to go through the same interview process as undergrads?
Thank you so much for watching! I believe it is the same/similar case interview process for internships, and then I’m not too sure about the interview process for MBAs
Awesome video! What advice for a Truck driver? 🤔🤣😂Jking Very knowledgeable video for consulting! Keep up the awesome job putting very entertaining, and knowledgeable content! 😎👍
Thanks Anthony!!😊
