you know shes a consultant when she says 'leverage' and 'value add' outside of work
This was so helpful! As someone from science and trying to navigate the business world, it's been a lot of trial and errors. Thank you for sharing these insights!
I especially cherish how Judy is down-to-earth and able to talk about her failures. Thx
This is so helpful, thanks for sharing. Judy's so pretty❤️
Recent Health Science and Business major here. Was struggling a lot of finding my passion and a career I could see myself happy in. Thank you for your videos, knowledge, and love for your career. I can definitely see myself in consulting and it’s something I am trying to get into, cheers!
This is so relatable! I will be starting my journey at Bain with no idea what I want to do in life, with the current aim of 2 years at Bain and then sponsored MBA. I keep thinking that I am forcing myself by defining this plan, but it feels good that thinking of these plans is normal, and people get the courage to change the plan if they figure out their passion down the line.
The interview was fascinating and full of info..it is a great job...just found your channel a couple of days ago and i totally hooked up with the consulting series...
This is sooo helpful and loved hearing about Judy’s career journey! Also, please share your beautiful writing, can’t wait to read on your blog 💛
coming soon!!!
So insightful on so many levevls
best thing that i learn: apply as many as you can get. great stuff
You asked so many insightful questions! Wow!
this was super helpful!! great questions and great responses. judy speaks so eloquently and seems so chill haha
Thanks for sharing your video. Getting stressed so much about attending uni for so long without much work experience, this video helped me to get rid of stress by watching an interview with someone who's been in the consulting industry and currently at the grad school! :)
Great interview! It’s really informative and inspiring. Love the high quality content.
Recruiting season is on the way so this is much needed. Thank you so much!
good luck!!
love your vibes and energy girl, keep it up :D
Y’all are awesome happy to see y’all crushing it in life :)
Amazing stuff! Answered so many of my questions with actual human experiences instead of the more numbers based explanations I usually find online. On top of that, you both seem like awesome people!
so glad it was helpful! :)
@@bykchoi does she have a youtube channel lol
Thanks Kchoi! Your content is informative as always! Thanks for sharing
This was a great video! Thank you for asking such relevant questions.

"I came in like a blank sheet of paper" - relatable, I'm inspired
Love this video! I love watching videos of people who didn’t necessarily major in business or engineering during their undergrad and have great careers in business!
i honestly love k.choi and her friends! super helpful and informative videos! :)
Soo insightful, keep up the good work Kchoi
Honestly, this is such an engaging and informative video. You asked great questions & Judy spoke eloquently. As someone who's starting to think about business school, it was helpful to hear her journey to/experience of it!
she's so great and i'm glad i got to have her on my channel! thanks for watching :)
Thank you for bringing this video to us!!!
Really interesting perspective about starting from consulting and the type of engagements you get as a junior consultant!
Such an awesome interview even though I'm not specifically interested in getting into consulting! I'd love to see another interview with one of your friend's experiences going to business school, as this is something I hear a lot of mixed thoughts about nowadays. Love your videos~
Glad you were still able to enjoy it!! I have a few friends who are in/went to bschool, so I’ll see if I can compile their thoughts on it!
What a helpful video, it answers a lot of my question about consulting and even career journey. The best part is that you both talk about it in a friend-to-friend situation, so no exaggeration and over/underestimating stuff. Thank you!
thank you so much!!
Feeling super motivated and touched. Wonderful girl! Well done!
Interesting ! Thanks for uploading 💪🏽

Valuable video!
Stumbled upon your channel, and it feels like a sign haha I’m graduating w a business degree this spring and this helped with some direction in my job search! Looking forward to more videos
thanks for watching and good luck!!
Heading to an MBB this fall:
3:40 Although there is some seemingly arbitrary variance in the recruiting process (e.g. kids getting interviews wi MBB/Tier 2s but not Accenture/Big4, some getting offers with BCG but not McK interview, etc.) I'd really advise students (especially those from non-targets) to focus on 5-6 firms where you can see yourself working there, and network/prep hard for those select few. Perhaps from a target like Berkeley, Judy's volume approach may be more feasible, but generally firms like seeing dedicated/continuous interest
loved it!!!
Thank you for this !
This was so helpful and insightful, thank you both! In the case of a career switch, should you address that in your cover letter and in that case, should you do a comparison when saying why you picked consulting over the other option or should you just stick to the why consulting format?
Lots of similarities in my experience at BCG. I will agree and say the brand value you get from consulting is really unparalleled, particularly at MBB
Thank you for the video, really enjoyed watching it
thank you for watching!
Thanks. This was so helpful.
This is great!
Really helpful video!
Great video Ms Choi
Wow great story, thanks for sharing. It help a lot.
What’s your (or Judy’s) advice for someone coming from a non-target MBA program who wants to break into consulting?
👀
she's so pretty. thanks for this very informative video
OMG I’ve subscribed to your channel for a while; I can say that this video is one of the best from yours. Thanks for asking so many insightful questions! Greetings from Indonesia ❤️
aw thank you so much!!!
thank you so much! this is very helpful :)
glad you found it helpful!!
This is the first time I've heard anyone refer to a master's as a gift to themselves. It is refreshing. I'm taking a mid-career break by earning a full-time masters abroad and yes, I will start to refer to it as a present to myself from this point on!
As Berkeley student in a consulting club this was super helpful! Love your channel and the help, go bears. :)
Cal Efornya I wish they had a club like this at my school
please make more videos like this, it was soo helpful!!
more coming soon!
Thank you so much!!!! this was super helpful :D
i'm so glad it's helpful!!
Oh my, i love her shirt, like combination of red and pink ranger.

Why so many beautiful people out there? I do not work in the business field but I love your sharing. Keep it up
Hi Kristina! I found your channel about a year ago and I just wanted to tell you that I honestly have enjoyed every single video you have uploaded since I subscribed. I see your videos as the perfect combination between informative, entertaining, relaxing and inspirational! Really appreciate this video since I'm currently pursuing getting into a top management consulting firm :D Thanks a lot for the great content you are putting out here in TH-cam, looking forward to the next one, saludos desde México :)
This is so sweet!! Thank you so much! 😭
Just got an invitation to interview for Bain and this video really helped with my cover letter!
How did you get to apply? Would want to try it out.
Kchoi please make videos like this again !! You and this friend.
new word learnt: externship
Omg my two favorite peoples🖤
Hehe
@@bykchoi Hi kchoi, I request u to kindly answer few questions of mine.
1. Can Ppl with low GPA in engineering bachelor's degree get into consulting jobs ?
2. Is MBA compulsory to get a consulting job ? Wic specialization I need to choose to get a consulting job ? Is it marketing, finance, operations, systems and IT ?
3. Is there any age limit within which I shud get a consulting job ? Or age is not a constraint?
Great video. I used to be interested in this field in college. I love the interview!
glad you enjoyed!
Not sure if you remember me from Porter (lol), but really enjoy your career videos, and find them quite inspiring. You do a great job of striking that balance of personal and professional with informative content. Keep it up!
hahaha hi! thank you!! :)
Both of you are perfect! They way you speak. The stance and control in communication. Perfect. You guys deserve your perfect jobs ❤
