What was most surprising to you about Den's work week? What would you like to see next time?! Let us know! ⬇️
Good video Bro a dream of mine is to be a consultant and work in NYC!
You made the TTC look glamorous
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks
@@Benard-em However, if you do not have access to a professional like JUDITH ANN PEACE, quitting your job to focus on trading may not be the best approach. It is important to consider all options and seek guidance from reliable sources before making any major decisions. Consulting with an AI or using automated trading systems can also be helpful in managing investments while balancing other commitments
@@pius45 Oh please I’d love that. Thanks!
@@Benard-em Judith Ann peace is her name
Lookup with her name on the webpage.
finally got to sit & watch! Loved it!! cant wait to see more, and can't wait to see Steph's work week 😇
Thanks Zoe!! Coming soon 👀💛
Absolutely love this! Don't think I've ever had the chance to follow a Consultant for a day! So great for people considering this path
Thanks for watching, Anna - glad you enjoyed! ✨
I'm interviewing for an internship at a Big 4 tomorrow and this was such a useful look into getting a feel for what it's actually like, especially for the fit portion where you need to show a good understanding of what consulting life actually means to show you'll be happy working as one. Also probably the best consulting week in my life video on TH-cam! Thanks so much, keep em coming!
Amazing, good luck with your interview! Thank you so so much! More to come for sure. ✨
I’m looking to join a BIG4 for internship too! But there’re like advisory and transaction advisory. Not sure which one should I apply for
That’s awesome 😊 what are you more interested in learning about right now? And which one are you more likely to get a job in given your current experience? An internship at the big 4 is a great way to get to know the firm and the type of work that any practice does! As long as you get in you’ll have the opportunity to discover which line of service you want to dive into in the future ✨
It is always interesting to see a day in the life of others. Great video!!
Agreed! Thanks for watching! ✨
This is so useful for anyone thinking about working in consulting! Great vid!

Thanks Lauren! 🙂✨
Hey Den! Got a video idea for you, maybe you do could one showing what you generally wear in a week or even just a few different clothing options you have, loving the vids and cant wait to see more from you two!
Love it, great idea! We can definitely share some work outfits and options - thanks for the support, my guy! ✨

Loved the video man! I actually just accepted a consulting position with the company I’ve been with in operations for a few years now; we’re a cloud computing and IT consulting firm. I know our experiences will be different, but it’s always great to have insight in someone else’s life. Def subbing!

Great video!!
Thank you!! ✨
I love these videos! Very insightful as I am interviewing for a Big 4 job soon! I am wondering if you could comment more on your work/life balance? I love maintaining a healthy active lifestyle and I am hopeful that this is attainable working at as a consultant as well.
Hey Hannah! Good question - we’re going to be talking about work life balance more in our video next week! At a high level, it’s definitely a busy work environment - so you’ll have to prioritize and plan your time well to attain balance. But we’ll share more if our thoughts and our experience in Monday’s video. 😊 Good luck with the interview!
Dude. That bokeh is insane! What camera/lens. I love it!
Thank you!! 🙌🏾 Camera, lens, etc are all linked in our description box!
This video was recommended to me (I don't know why as I have been watching Predator Poachers all night). Decided to watch for the sole purpose of ripping you a new one. But, I actually enjoyed the video. Cool apartment. Cool clothes. Cooler office view. I refuse to hate. Live your life, man!
Thanks, Kevin! Appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed 🙏🏾 now back to Predator Poachers, haha!
Interesting! Starting at one of 4 Big soon, it was very helpful!
Good luck with the new job! 😊
Great video! Thank you
Thank you! 😊
Great content!
Thank you! 😊
I recognise a lot of this! I was a consultant in a global Fortune 50 corporation myself for ten years. This resonated very well!
Thanks for watching, Stephen! So glad it resonated with you! ✨
@1:30 = the moment I "liked" vid. I love seeing happy couples. :)
Awe, thanks so much! And thanks for watching! 😊✨
Let’s get itttt Den!! nice suit buddy
🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you!
Great editing!
Thanks, Lance! 🙌🏾🙌🏻
Fabulous thank you
Thanks for watching!
I can tell this is similar to the life a CPA at a public accounting firm! Let me tell you I dont miss those days but it was fun while I lasted!
That sounds like an accurate summary! 🙌🏾
loved watching this!! I'm beginning my consulting job this summer so it's so cool to your perspective. this video made me excited :)
Thanks for watching, Francesca! That is exciting, good luck! Let us know if you have any questions we can help with 😊✨
Busy week for you!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Den, Sohaib here from Toronto! I'm new to your channel but I'm absolutely loving the content. I'm interested in this career path but wanted to know how is the work-life balance? Do consultants have to travel far/a lot? Thank you, you've got my subscription!
Hey Sohaib! So glad you’re here and loving it! Consultants definitely do work a lot (depending on your exact team and clients), so I’d say if you want a good work-life balance you have to make time for yourself and ensure that you give yourself time for what’s important to you! Travel wise - pre-pandemic, it again depends on the client - when I (Den) do travel, it’s typically from Monday - Thursday (working from 8am-10pm, ish) then home for the weekend. ✨
Steph & Den Thanks so much for the response Den!
How would you compare working for Deloitte with the other companies in the Big 4?
It looks like you have a fun job!
Thanks for watching!
Super interesting! Just curious: how many hours did you have to work during your busiest week? Also, how has the social distancing/work from home measures affected your job? (same question for Steph!)
Thank you! During Den’s busiest week, he says he worked around 75 hours during the week, but also worked the full weekend as well (Saturday and Sunday) so approx. 100 hours - that was a crazy one, thankfully not the norm! Work from home has fortunately been a smooth transition for us work wise, but we chat about general concerns and how our work set up looks in our newest video! 😊✨
@@stephandden Wow that is a real eye-opener! Are Steph's hours just as intense working in accounting/audit at a Big 4? My cousin works at a medium sized accounting firm and sometimes(often) clocks 60 hours a week. Great - I really enjoyed your newest video as well :)
Those bowls 😍
Love them 🎉
hey guys, can you guys make a video explaining how to land a job in consulting straight out of uni?
Hey Anujan! We have a video on our channel called ‘How To Become A Management Consultant’ - we touch on getting a role in consulting in general, either during or after university! 😊
Hopefully I can look forward to working from home as an engineering consultant! Lol great vid man!
Yes fingers crossed for you! Thank you! ✨
@@stephandden of course! And thank you very much!!!
Such great energy!! absolute goals!
Thank you! 🙌🏾
Hey man, I got a question. Could you be doing TH-cam or releasing music on Spotify while working for big 4? I thought outside businesses weren’t allowed?
It'll be good to e have this question answered. Thanks.
Technically they don't want you to be making money from any other sources - I just keep it on the down low. It's also subjective - more traditional businesses are more 'okay' because the firm could potentially make money off of you - online businesses like TH-cam or Spotify music are less understood.
Hii Den, thanks for the cool video!
I really like your Jacket (Parka), could you name me the Brand plz?
BR from Italy
Hey! Definitely - it’s from Uniqlo 😊
Oh this was fun! I have never had the chance to follow a consultant for the day! SO cool!
Thanks, Aida! 🙂
What kind of consulting do you do exactly? Sorry if I missed it.
Hey! You can learn more about what I do in our ‘Types of Consulting’ video! Simply put I’m a finance consultant, primarily for company’s controllership functions. 😊
Hats off to the film production on this video.
Thanks Omar! 😊
Hey man loved the video and I’m considering this as a career. Did you go to college and if you did what did you major in. And do you need a degree to be a consultant?
Thanks, Gandhi! I went to university in Canada - I did a Bachelor it Commerce, specializing in Finance and Accounting 😊 Typically the minimum education for a consultant would be an undergraduate degree, but it differs depending on the type of consulting and the firm!
Engineering consultant for IBM working from home as well :) Much xoxo to you guys!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Hi great Video, whats the backpack model at 2:00?
Thank you! It’s from Matt & Nat - the ‘Breman Backpack’ in Black 😊 Highly recommend!
Sick... I wonder if it had been Covid-19 at the time. Not a laughing matter but that's still quite funny to watch back on. These videos are just awesome! Fellow Canadian here btw
Thanks so much, Jaden! 🙌🏾
Just saw this video. Just wanted some insight into consulting. I'm also in Canada. I'm currently doing accounting but was thinking about switching to finance. Do you believe that would still allow me to get into consulting with a finance major? Or would you suggest sticking with accounting. To get into consulting.
If you got a finance major (Bachelor or Master Degree), you can absolutely switch to consulting if you're working as an accountant now. I got a regular BBA and I'm working as a Junior consultant at Deloitte Switzerland.
Hi, Tahir! You could definitely get into consulting with a Finance major - Management Consulting positions in particular take candidates from a number of specializations. 😊
Agreed, great insight! 🙌🏾🙌🏻
Glad to know I'm not the only one using Lulu Lemon bags as a lunch bag lol
The easiest bag to use 🙌🏾🙌🏻
I'm so jealous that you get to wear a hoodie to work! Lol
Casual Friday's perk 🙌🏾
so yeah
👍🏾👍🏻
i wish you went into more actual detail of the work. im interviewing for big 4 and have no idea what to expect haha
We have a few different work day / week in the life videos that might have a bit more info in them 😊
Awesome video,i need advice, İ want to become the CEO in corporate World ,So what is the best option to choose Audit or Advisory consulting in big 4 as a career?
Hey Fawad! Big goals, we love it 👏🏾👏🏻 It definitely depends, but likely going the financial or law route would be the best bet (CEO’s often have a financial background/designation or a JD). That’s not to say you can’t be a CEO of a smaller company/specific industries with a different career background, though (like tech, engineering, etc). 😊
@@stephandden Im graduating as ACMA from ICMAP as well as A CA program.
So if you want to be a consultant which cause must you study in varsity
Consultants tend to have a variety of different educational backgrounds, but typically a business or engineering degree! ✨
Guys I NEED TO KNOW THAT SMOOTH SONG AT THE START OF THE VID PLEASEEE
Hey Michael! It's Wntr & Brandy - Baby. 😊
@@stephandden thank you 😎
I’m considering going into consultancy, and am applying to one of the Big 4. Would you say that being a consultant is intense / stressful? I find it really interesting but am worried my mental health won’t be able to take prolonged periods of stress. Obviosuly that comes with any job, but you know what I mean! Thanks in advance :)
It can definitely be more stressful than other 9-5 roles, as there are high expectations, and you’re consistently dealing with a variety of stakeholders (that change frequently). I think that if you go for it, ensure that you’re checking in with yourself and asking if it stills feels right for you. :)
Nice
Thank you!
"You guys are going to get to see how I work from home"
Proceeds to spend most of video in Kitchen and with Steph. Noice.
Small apartment = working at the kitchen table!
How many hours a week do you work on average? Obviously every week is different, but it's just go get an idea
Hey Simon! It definitely does fluctuate, but I'd say around 50-55 hours per week currently 😊
@@stephandden Thanks for your answer! How many of those 50-55 hours on weekdays and how many during weekend?
Usually all weekdays going later into the evening - if it’s the weekend it’s more hours on top of all of that - either due to a deadline, or getting prepped for the next week if it’s going to be a crazy one!
How do I become a healthcare consultant
We don't have experience in healthcare consulting, but from what we do know you need a bachelor's degree, potentially a Master's degree (in either business or healthcare), and job experience in the healthcare field could also be an asset. 😊
Usually it is not like this. It gets really busy and constantly that you would want to tear your brains out. Consulting is a hectic job.
It definitely depends on your specific team, project, and how well you handle the chaos! Every week is different. 😊
love you video! please make more this kind of content. xD
Thank you! 😊 We have a few more work days / weeks up!
2:16 Did I just see my BTS Omg I will watch every video.
🥳🥳
Regards from a fellow colleague at Deloitte Consulting India. Enjoy it while it lasts...get out before it kills u...lol
Hahaha - I feel you!
I feel like you're both tense.. is everything okay?..
🤔
What Uni did you go tooooo??
University of Ottawa! ✨
Steph & Den what was your program?:)
We both have Bachelor of Commerce degrees! I (Steph) specialized in Human Resources, Den specialized in Finance/Accounting. 😊
@@stephandden that's cool 😃
Do consultants be on the computer all day cause my eyes will hurt
Yes, there is definitely a lot of time staring at the screen! ✨
Thankyou for responding I want a career that is off computers
Do you travel for work??
Hey Thana! Not right now with the pandemic, but pre-pandemic yes, I sometimes did travel for client work 😊
I'm so glad your channel showed up in suggestions! My boyfriend also works at Deloitte - he's a management consultant! I'm super interested in the consulting field, but currently, in graduate school working on my Master's in Education and curious if consultants take on Education/district level work or if there are clients from the education sector? I know being a consultant means being able to work in different industries, but don't know much about consultants working at schools.
Kristine Le Hi there you should check out this consulting company called strategies 360 I know they focus on various fields with on being education. Here is a link if you’re interested:
www.strategies360.com/education/
Hi Kristine! So glad you found us 😊 and yes you’re definitely right on being able to work in different industries! What I will say about the Big 4 specifically is that we do work within education or the public sector, and have clients including schools and their boards - but the approach is from a business perspective and focused more on the specific areas like change management, organization transformation, finance, etc. Let us know if you have others q’s ✨
Whats a salary of a big4 consultant?
It definitely differs - my role's Assurance Advisory - I started @ $52.5k and after three years am at $78k.
Good content but need more context which is something I noticed from your videos.
Thanks for watching! ✨ Are there any specific topics that you’d like more context on?
Steph & Den I think maybe it’s due to you not wanting to share too much about the company details. You shared interesting content but only touch base a bit here and there so as a viewer I get excited and then the content ends haha. Can’t really say what is the additional context needed.
Michael B jordan?
Honoured 😂🙌🏾
No offence but this turned me off lol the corporate puppetry and fake pleasantries, almost like no energy field but thats just me im energy driven everyone's different thanks for posting
It’s definitely not for everyone! I’d say there is a lot of energy put in, but there is also a lot of corporate politics involved. Thanks for watching!
Dude's in deloitte
Ouuuu you got me!
@@stephandden Ayeee. What practice are you in if you don't mind sharing? New hire starting next week within controllership :)
Ouf that outfit tho
🙌🏾🙌🏾
he did not work lol this is not real life. hahaah this is not how that job actually is !!!
Lots of working, but it’s not very interesting to watch that part! You saw all of the in between 😊
Bruh you got the whitest teeth I've ever seen
