dudddeee how do you manage your time? you make 6 videos a day, work with your course members, live streams, Deep Research on companies and economy, AND ALSO WATCH TH-cam VIDEOS?
If you watched this video and thought, "Hey, maybe I would like to be a management consultant but I didn't get a business degree from a prestigious school", I have some great news for you. Those degrees are wonderful but I have been in consulting for quite some time now and consultants come from all sorts of backgrounds! One of the consultants on the team that I manage has a degree in biology from Kansas State. I have worked with people with degrees in psychology, horticulture, history - just about anything from any school. The consulting firms do have dedicated recruiters for certain schools and certain degrees but that does not stop YOU from reaching out to the company and applying! It doesn't matter if you went to an Ivy League and got a business degree or if you went to college online (maybe not University of Phoenix or Kaplan - those are just diploma mills but so long as it was a "real" school), if you want to be a consultant, just make sure that you sell yourself on your resume! (The MD on my project dropped out of community college after one year and never even finished a degree!) The bottom line is that anybody with the desire can do this. It doesn't take a special degree. If you want to be a consultant, you surely can.
I previously worked for KPMG Consulting and Deloitte Consulting. I think Management Consulting is the best job on the planet for people starting their careers. Good luck!
I accidentally got into management consulting, so I love seeing videos like this where I find others who purposely go for it and explain the process of breaking into the industry
First “Real” Job was working at Indian Motorcycles 🏍 as a help desk IT support guy. And YES! Networking is the key. “Your Network is your Net worth.” Get to know as many people as you can and build those relationships. That is so valuable. Also, like your transitions from the couch to the car and also especially loved your transition at the 3:05 mark from your laptop 👩🏻💻 Good luck on your new job!
What does a consultant do is a very common question. Whenever I hear consultant though I think of veeeery long hours. So I hope we can still see videos from you :( .
Yess the hours are known to be pretty tough (not as bad as finance, but still tough) so I'll have to learn how to balance things! Will be interesting to figure out 😊 Definitely plan on more videos from me though, even when I'm working hehe
Hey Taylor, Graduated in 2020 currently a risk consultant at EY Consulting. I can resonate to your reasons of choosing consulting as I thought the same :)
As a 22 year old, who's about to enter a B-school ( aimlessly ) who has little to no knowledge on consulting, I must say that this video is very informative yet very much easy to understand . I like how you avoided technical terms and simplified the stuff so common folk would understand. I think few years down the line you should write books that improve to demystify the finance world that actually help people improve their financial literacy . You've gained a loyal sub today !
This comments means so much to me, thank you so much my friend!! I'm so glad you found it helpful 😊 And that sounds like a very fun idea hehe I'll keep that in my back of my mind ;) I appreciate it, thank you so much again!!
My first actual job was this yt channel lol. Graduated as an engineering in food technology in 2020 and figured i really wanna create something. That channel is why i got so many job offers from potential employers for video editing. Great video cheers
Congrats! I’ve also just recently started a full-time job at consulting, as a recently graduated student! Best of luck on your new experience and keep posting videos like this :)
Congrats on new venture in your life. You will do well. Remember; Its not what you know; nor is it what you know that you don't know; its what you don't know that you don't know.
Super interesting to learn about your job field Taylor! Awh, sorry it got pushed back, but more time with the family! 💕Ohhh, love a little room transformation! I am excited to see that! 😀
Thanks so much Lindsay!! Excited to give updates on how I like it once I'm a few months in 😊 And yesss exactly, not too upset about it ahah and same here I'm so excited to make the room changes!! 💜 Thanks so much for watching
hello Taylor, very bold attitude to talk about management consultancy on youtube without saying for which company are you working, anyway it does not matter, in the end, all these companies have the same approach and mentality. as for me, having more than 5 years of experience in strategy&management consultancy, I enjoyed a lot learning but not only about methods/way of working but also about human relations, interpersonal relations building, sincerity, transparency, and so on. my little advice to you would be: do not be so idealistic about what you are doing, never give up your life principles and sincerity. greetings from Paris :)
20+ years in consulting here 😱 My reasons for joining were very similar to yours, and I just never left because I never found anything I wanted to do more that my current job. I’ve worked on amazing projects with brilliant people, all over the world! I wish you every success in your new career!
Awesome video! My first job was a management consulting gig as well! We helped companies reduce their costs and renegotiate contracts with their vendors.
@@TaylorBell I did! Was very interesting to learn about the intricacies within a company's spend. looking forward to seeing how NYC treats you. I've always wanted to live there
I just wanted to know more about Wharton, but here I am, seeing all your videos, your edition is amazing, really. I am currently in first semester of university, and I want to become a M&A professional, so it's interesting that Consulting is involved on this area too. Hope I can meet you someday at work hahahahh. I will be really thankful if you do this job interview video!
Aw thank you sooo much for watching! And that’s awesome, I’ve actually been almost solely working on M&A work since I started (I talk about it in my most recent video a little bit). Small world! Ahah best of luck to u 😊
Great video! I enjoyed learning about your job! I can see the reasons why you chose it now! My first full time job was a regular free standing McDonald's.
Thanks Mike! It's been pretty good so far, though weird to not have it in-person. And love that, there's so much to learn working retail or a fast food restaurant as a first job
Just added the time stamps, thank you for reminding me!! And we shall see. If the in-person date gets pushed back again, I'll delay my move again haha but as of now-- June! 😊
As always, Daniel is here to watch your video. It was a Great video Taylor!! I wish you the best of luck on your new position. And of course I have smashed the like button for the youtube algorithm. :)
I work for a top 300 US firm (more in the accounting & taxes/CPA realm) and we've seen a big shift from just preparing information, to actually consulting with our clients on how to more efficiently plan around federal taxation and business development. Not exactly management consulting, but it shows just how big the consulting field can span over! Great vid! :D
Yess 100%! I think there's so much value in asking your clients what type of changes they'd like to see. Helps to get a perspective from someone who is not totally in the weeds of it all ahah and thank you so much!!
OMG! I just fell in love with your videos! I am in my 12 grade or last year of high school in India and yeah just doing my research for college! Again, I instantly fell in love watching your videos!!!!!
@@TaylorBell No, I do not want to take a gap year, especially considering that I want to do my bachelor's (mostly in business) ASAP here in India and come to the US for a master's degree! It's just that I really love the US and sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong country haha
Initially, I wanted to do my undergrad from the US in mid 12th grade but after thorough research I just couldn't as it was getting too expensive for me, had I had the awareness a few years ago I could have prepared a strong proifle for a good school with a fat scholarship, etc. But hey! It's not too late, I can work towards building my profile right now for a scholarship or any sort of aid for my masters! And generally speaking a master's costs less than an undergrad so yeah. I'm so sorry for the lengthy messages
@@gurucharanchundi Yess that makes a lot of sense!! Definitely not too late at all-- it sounds like you've got a great game plan and a very positive attitude in general. You're gonna do great whatever or wherever you end up going!
@@TaylorBell Thank you so much for saying that, means a lot to me! Also, I have felt so happy, positive and had so much fun these few hours watching your videos than I have in the last few weeks, after coming across your channel! I am gonna be here you know, watching and supporting all your videos in the future!!!! 😀
If you want to get insane away from work choose Retail and Consumer Products as your niche. My father is an executive at one of the big4 and everywhere we go he always finds faults and inefficient processes .... Kinda fun for me as I am currently studying and slowly getting this habit as well (we are German btw) ;D
HAHA that's too funny. Sounds like the three of us think alike 😂 Will give some updates in future videos if I start to think on a German efficiency level 😎
It's very interesting you get into a top tier strategy consulting firm without any consulting internships. I guess that's what Wharton does to a CV, but mindblowing nevertheless. In Germany, you'd need at least an internship at a similar firm to even get into the pool of candidates, they want their consultants to have experience before sending their CV to customers and request large sums for their hours.
so late to seeing this video. Great video, also absolutely love how you find creative ways for asking us to smash/tap the like button. very sleek editing there. I also love figuring how to be more efficient, when I use to work a nightshift in a supermarket putting stock out for the next day when it was opened I spent my first 2 weeks on the job figuring out the best way to do the job in the least amount of walking and as quickly as possible (it was 10 hours on my feet ) needless to say I was one of their best workers and one of the few that wouldn't be complaining my feet were hurting by morning.
Noo worries at all friend, thanks so much for watching 😊 Ahaha I loovve that. 10 hours on your feet calls for some efficiency. Sounds like we think alike!
I can't believe you concentrated in Operations. I love operations management and definitely agree that I love optimizing processes. I even optimize the dishwasher to put all the forks in one place, plates in the other, etc. and I get pretty upset if I see people putting stuff all over the place because I know it will take an extra 3 minutes to organize them 😂
That is soooo funny hahah we think so much alike 😂 I'm the same exact way lol I have to admit though... I haven't thought about putting all the forks/spoons/knives in their own designated compartments 😱 That's sounds like a serious game changer hahaha I'll be trying that this week
Wow that is really cool! Looking forward to see how your move and job works out! Of course I'm sure you will do a awesome! 😁 Looking forward to your next entertaining video! 😎
Like some other people I also got into consulting by accident... did two years with an implementation heavy company and now moving to more strategy/process improvement starting next month. I will say that you don't typically move around too much at least in implementation. They see what you're good at and then you're stuck with a client that keeps renewing you and won't let you go! Hope strategy doesn't do that to you! The traveling bit was the best part for me esp in my early 20s... but now I don't see things being like they used to be. No way a client is going to pay for travel when pandemic WFH worked out just fine. Most I see is once a month maybe twice.
Love your videos and all the informations! and by the way I wanted to tell you how beautiful eyes you have, especially with the light they are just shining so bright!!😍 You're so beautiful and nice😊 I haven't started a full-time job. But it will be a teaching job. Currently I'm at University to become a teacher and work some hours at a school.
Fun videos! A McKinsey partner actually told me to go into product management and turn down my consulting offers...best advice ever and I'm way ahead of where I would be. Still, consulting can be really fun and a lot of my best PMs have been consultants.
That edit LOL 🤣, just forced me to like your video.... And helping to grow on the algorithm.... anyways this is the first video I'm watching on your channel.... got in my suggestions
Sorry to hear about the delayed move but at least you'll be arriving as the weather starts getting nicer in NYC. Hopefully by then things will be somewhat back to normal in the Big Apple. As for me my first full time job was in back office operations at a major bank.
@@TaylorBell The pay wasn't great but I learned a lot in those early days. Best of all is that to this day some of my fondest memories are from those early crazy days on Wall St! Met some great people back then! Days and weeks were long but that only made for a much more enjoyable Friday night Happy hour! Professionally, all the hard work never went unnoticed and it paved the way for regular promotions and recognition. Looking forward to hearing all your stories but just try to never forget to enjoy the journey!👍👍😁
@@crashboat01 I love to hear this! So glad you were able to find silver linings and fun times amongst the long hours. I'm excited for all of the ups and downs that will inevitably come with the job. And looking forward to talking about those experiences and hearing your wisdom along the way!
Thank you so much Nathan!! I hope so too-- more updates to come on how I find it once I've been at it for a bit 😊 And nice!! love hearing what others' first full time jobs were
First full time job a Healthcare Management Consultant. Definitely a great first job for learning but definitely difficult to have any stable personal life outside of the job imo and why looking to get out of the consulting life/career path.
Very interesting! Yess I bet it will be difficult to balance everything. Will definitely mention in my future videos how that goes.. will be totally honest too 😂 Thanks for this input Michael!
Haha my first full time job back in the day like 1996 is haha was working in the summer for KOA kampgrounds ...as like a groundskeeper.. it was actually pretty fun. For while I was in Highschool
As I am having an interview for the consultancy firm this week that was very useful and kinda reassured me about what I already new... but I like you and your channel so I am leaving a like and subscribe :)
Management Consulting. And after watching a couple of your videos, I predict that you are going to hate the lack of entrepreneurial responsiblity in consulting. Looking forward to that review video in a few months ;)
Hi Taylor! I’m new to your channel. I’ve been consult on the lower level, looking to grow to full time. You have an awesome personality & High Points on a business application. I guess I’m a New Fan 😊 - Steven ‘Fridge’
I'm a new viewer and this video was super helpful!!! I am a Business & Economic undergrad at Trinity college Dublin, Ireland. I really want to go down the consultancy route and this view has just reinforced that so thank you very much Xx
Nice video, and neatly planned out future. First job was in Finance at Morgan Stanley also in NYC, but I left for Brazil to work in a family-owned business.
Both have their pros and cons like everything in life, just depends on how you look at it. I'm grateful for both experiences, but I like where I'm at now. I have since moved back to Chicago and I'm the Treasury Manager at a Human Capital Management company. I live close to the lake and have more space than when I lived in NYC for much less, which is nice.
I'll always have love for NYC and it's a great place to start a career. Congrats on the new gig and good luck with the move! Also curious, are you allowed to share which consulting firm you'll be working in?
Dang thank you so much for all the useful info, especially since I’ll start the college application process soon. The UPenn dual degree program from your Wharton experience video and now with your life after college sounds so nice!
Of courseee, so happy to be making these videos! So happy to hear you've got some value out of them. Best of luck to you with the college application process-- it can be stressful but it feels goooood when you're done 🎉 Second semester senior life is 👌
Hey Taylor, I don't even know if you will read this, but I have been wondering how the things mentioned in this video turned out to work the way there supposed to for you. Examples: Get a good feeling for several industries & then deciding which one to focus on, Gaining a lot of experience and insights in many possible opportunities ("extra years of learning") etc. I don't know if you are planning on a video addressing these kind of thoughts, but I thought it would be a nice incentive as I just stumbled across this video (Still catching up with all the old videos :D ).
The only consulting that matters is McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. Tier 2 firms like Oliver Wyman and AT Kearney get smaller-scale projects and are less prestigious. Then you have the Big 4 firms, which often get the less sexier projects like due diligence. Speaking as a Big 4 Strategy consultant. If any of you are interested in consulting, I highly advise you to aim for the top firms from the get-go.
Very interesting! Congrats on your new job! Do you think you’ll go back to Wharton for the MBA or pick another university? I was wondering, could you talk about a little about your background? Such as family background, what high school you went to, GPA, sports you like, etc.? If you feel comfortable of course. I’d like to get a sense of what type of candidates go into Wharton as undergrads. Thanks! And keep it up! Please give us an update when you can
Thank you so much!! Getting an MBA isn't on my radar at the moment actually, but I'd probably want to go elsewhere just to get a new experience 😊 And yes for sure, I made a whole video on that here! th-cam.com/video/T3vpXa4lxec/w-d-xo.html
Your eyes are greener than that tree. I'm at a smaller consulting org. HR consulting. I like it a lot. Doing some research some preliminary presentations, prospecting and networking are fun.
Management consulting does for business management what it consultants does for business IT. And we learn about the business workings. Interestingly enough, these both overlap, but IT consultants typically don’t stick to one single company. We assist multiple companies.
@@TaylorBell I’d say we’re similar in that we only need to understand the business process in order to take known technology available, and figure out where/how it could make a business’s job easier, or more streamlined. A lot of the bigger IT Consultants I know of have Business Consultants on board for just this purpose, or are themselves Business Consultants. Unfortunately, if you can’t adequately assess the business’s requirements, then you risk either missing the mark, or worse, getting the business set up with a solution that simply does not work for them. There’s nothing I dislike more than a sales person that shoves something at a business, promising them the world, and underdelivering. Unfortunately, My own business has been a victim of this, so I’ve implemented a vendor vetting process to get all vendors I use internally, and I’m expanding this to all vendors I partner with to provide services to my clients.
My first job was tech support for apple, I sometimes miss that job because it was a smooth sail through most days. Currently in law school and its difficult :/
YES I definitely will be doing this. My next video goes over some of this just a little bit, but will be going more in depth in the future. Have also thought about resume editing 😊 Haha thank u for watching!
Hello from Azerbaijan. Just found this channel and subscribed. Looking forward to the future videos. If it is suitable for You I would like to ask some questions: 1. You mentioned that you will do strategy. So, you joined MBB? 2. Did you know any Excel prior to joining the company? Also, very looking forward to the videos about the preparation for the consulting. How the idea came up to your mind to join there? How did you prepare for various stages of the interview (If you joined McKinsey, the video about new digital assessment can be very useful, in TH-cam there is literally no good video about that). P.s. = Btw, you are beautiful, very smart and hard-working at the same time. It is very rare case to have all these 3 qualities at the same time. Good luck!
Yess the travel was a huge pull for me as well. I honestly don't really know-- I'm sure that at the moment, things are mainly over zoom. Hopefully travel will happen soon enough when the vaccine becomes even more widespread!
Thank you so much Sumit!! And for sure, I'll probably touch on that in a future video. But basically I just prefer the job itself and the lifestyle over banking or another finance focused job. I worked in finance both summers prior to graduating and wasn't interested in those jobs long-term
@@TaylorBell You're welcome. I had lived in the LA area and in the silicon valley area of California for quite a few years. I never got to see NY. LA and the silicon valley have a lot of creative energies flowing through them. I can foresee you owning your own boutique consulting firm in the future.
Exciting! Looking forward hearing more about your job, it sounds really interesting! Probably not for me tho, I'm not really someone who thinks about how to make things more efficient lol. 😆✌🏼
HELLO! I'm japanese student.I'm studying English now so sorry if I take mistakes of grammar. Your videos are very interesting.I'm looking forward to watch your next video!
Free consultation for Taylor: Quit the job and do TH-cam full time - SMASHED LIKE!
There's something about when 🥩 Kevin says it--- makes me want to do it a little extra 😂 hahah thank you my friend!!

@@TaylorBell No, I do not want to take a gap year, especially considering that I want to do my bachelor's (mostly in business) ASAP here in India and come to the US for a master's degree! It's just that I really love the US and sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong country haha
Initially, I wanted to do my undergrad from the US in mid 12th grade but after thorough research I just couldn't as it was getting too expensive for me, had I had the awareness a few years ago I could have prepared a strong proifle for a good school with a fat scholarship, etc. But hey! It's not too late, I can work towards building my profile right now for a scholarship or any sort of aid for my masters! And generally speaking a master's costs less than an undergrad so yeah. I'm so sorry for the lengthy messages
@@gurucharanchundi Yess that makes a lot of sense!! Definitely not too late at all-- it sounds like you've got a great game plan and a very positive attitude in general. You're gonna do great whatever or wherever you end up going!
@@TaylorBell Thank you so much for saying that, means a lot to me! Also, I have felt so happy, positive and had so much fun these few hours watching your videos than I have in the last few weeks, after coming across your channel! I am gonna be here you know, watching and supporting all your videos in the future!!!! 😀
So well put 💯💯.. exactly the kinda guidance I was looking for
So glad you enjoyed!! Thank you 😊
Killin the game! Great job - and good luck in NYC once you get there.
Thank you so much Josh!! Appreciate it 😊
If you want to get insane away from work choose Retail and Consumer Products as your niche. My father is an executive at one of the big4 and everywhere we go he always finds faults and inefficient processes .... Kinda fun for me as I am currently studying and slowly getting this habit as well (we are German btw) ;D
HAHA that's too funny. Sounds like the three of us think alike 😂 Will give some updates in future videos if I start to think on a German efficiency level 😎
When I hear consulting all I can think of is the Nick Miller scene from New Girl "Now she works whenever she wants! It's a scam called consulting!"
ahahah fair enough 😂
It's very interesting you get into a top tier strategy consulting firm without any consulting internships. I guess that's what Wharton does to a CV, but mindblowing nevertheless. In Germany, you'd need at least an internship at a similar firm to even get into the pool of candidates, they want their consultants to have experience before sending their CV to customers and request large sums for their hours.
so late to seeing this video. Great video, also absolutely love how you find creative ways for asking us to smash/tap the like button. very sleek editing there.
I also love figuring how to be more efficient, when I use to work a nightshift in a supermarket putting stock out for the next day when it was opened I spent my first 2 weeks on the job figuring out the best way to do the job in the least amount of walking and as quickly as possible (it was 10 hours on my feet ) needless to say I was one of their best workers and one of the few that wouldn't be complaining my feet were hurting by morning.
Noo worries at all friend, thanks so much for watching 😊 Ahaha I loovve that. 10 hours on your feet calls for some efficiency. Sounds like we think alike!
Very well spoken! A rare talent these days
thanks so much!
I can't believe you concentrated in Operations. I love operations management and definitely agree that I love optimizing processes. I even optimize the dishwasher to put all the forks in one place, plates in the other, etc. and I get pretty upset if I see people putting stuff all over the place because I know it will take an extra 3 minutes to organize them 😂
That is soooo funny hahah we think so much alike 😂 I'm the same exact way lol I have to admit though... I haven't thought about putting all the forks/spoons/knives in their own designated compartments 😱 That's sounds like a serious game changer hahaha I'll be trying that this week
@@TaylorBell hahaha do it and report back 😂
Here after watching the Ice Coffee Hour confrontations lol. Love the content.
Ah welcome to the channel! Thanks so much 😊
My first time job was taking care of my puppy nephew and Congrats on the new role, wish you the best.
Sounds like a pretty great first job!! Love me some puppies, just got a new one 😊 And Thank you so much Judith!!
Wow that is really cool! Looking forward to see how your move and job works out! Of course I'm sure you will do a awesome! 😁 Looking forward to your next entertaining video! 😎
Thank you so much Anthony!!! Looking forward to making some follow up videos once I've been at it for awhile. Thanks so much as always for watching! 😊
Here before 100k! 😀love your videos Taylor! very informative & entertaining
You're so sweet!!! Ahaha thank you so so much, so glad you like em 💜
Like some other people I also got into consulting by accident... did two years with an implementation heavy company and now moving to more strategy/process improvement starting next month. I will say that you don't typically move around too much at least in implementation. They see what you're good at and then you're stuck with a client that keeps renewing you and won't let you go! Hope strategy doesn't do that to you! The traveling bit was the best part for me esp in my early 20s... but now I don't see things being like they used to be. No way a client is going to pay for travel when pandemic WFH worked out just fine. Most I see is once a month maybe twice.
My first full time job was working third shift in a warehouse. I only fell asleep once on the job.
Hahah I love that! and sounds like an accomplishment to me
Love your videos and all the informations! and by the way I wanted to tell you how beautiful eyes you have, especially with the light they are just shining so bright!!😍 You're so beautiful and nice😊
I haven't started a full-time job. But it will be a teaching job. Currently I'm at University to become a teacher and work some hours at a school.
I got hired as an analyst for a Big 4 firm and expect to start this summer but I"m a total newbie to the whole industry so I am feeling the nerves!
That's awesome, congrats!! Hahah yup I feel ya, I was a little nervous starting out too
Fun videos! A McKinsey partner actually told me to go into product management and turn down my consulting offers...best advice ever and I'm way ahead of where I would be. Still, consulting can be really fun and a lot of my best PMs have been consultants.
That edit LOL 🤣, just forced me to like your video.... And helping to grow on the algorithm.... anyways this is the first video I'm watching on your channel.... got in my suggestions
Love your videos! Very informative. Hope to see more videos like these:)
Thanks so much Ananya! So glad you liked it 😊 YES, more to come!!
This is a great video. Consulting, huh? Seems cool. Can't wait for the next video!
Thanks bucko! 😃 what do u work in?
@@TaylorBell Typically I fancy a jumper and some trousers. How about you?
Sorry to hear about the delayed move but at least you'll be arriving as the weather starts getting nicer in NYC. Hopefully by then things will be somewhat back to normal in the Big Apple. As for me my first full time job was in back office operations at a major bank.
It's ok! And yess looking forward to the warmer weather in NYC :) Oh very cool, sounds like a solid first job!! Thanks so much for watching Lou! 😊
@@TaylorBell The pay wasn't great but I learned a lot in those early days. Best of all is that to this day some of my fondest memories are from those early crazy days on Wall St! Met some great people back then! Days and weeks were long but that only made for a much more enjoyable Friday night Happy hour! Professionally, all the hard work never went unnoticed and it paved the way for regular promotions and recognition. Looking forward to hearing all your stories but just try to never forget to enjoy the journey!👍👍😁
@@crashboat01 I love to hear this! So glad you were able to find silver linings and fun times amongst the long hours. I'm excited for all of the ups and downs that will inevitably come with the job. And looking forward to talking about those experiences and hearing your wisdom along the way!
Congrats on your new job Taylor!! I hope it is a job you enjoy and find purpose in😃My first job is as State Auditor.
Thank you so much Nathan!! I hope so too-- more updates to come on how I find it once I've been at it for a bit 😊 And nice!! love hearing what others' first full time jobs were
@@TaylorBell I will look forward to seeing how it is going!
Your videos are so good, love watching these ❤
This is amazing! Congrats Taylor :)
Thanks so much Shyam!
First full time job a Healthcare Management Consultant. Definitely a great first job for learning but definitely difficult to have any stable personal life outside of the job imo and why looking to get out of the consulting life/career path.
Also best of luck!
Very interesting! Yess I bet it will be difficult to balance everything. Will definitely mention in my future videos how that goes.. will be totally honest too 😂 Thanks for this input Michael!
Well I am a Software Engineer, but after seeing this video, consulting seems to be interesting too!! Interesting content👍😊
That's awesome!! And yess I'm looking forward to starting 😊Thank you so much!
Haha my first full time job back in the day like 1996 is haha was working in the summer for KOA kampgrounds ...as like a groundskeeper.. it was actually pretty fun. For while I was in Highschool
Ok MECE!!!! :) You're so ready for your new role. Congratulations on your new job and your move. Also Love Your Channel!!
Aww thank you so much girl!! you're so sweet 💜 Love your channel too, those thumbnails are 🔥
As I am having an interview for the consultancy firm this week that was very useful and kinda reassured me about what I already new... but I like you and your channel so I am leaving a like and subscribe :)
also having similar interest to you as well! I would want to get into finance or banking but all of that is so competitive!
What was your first full time job? 🤗
Mail order at a jewelery store. Haha although i dont remember if that was full time.
Management Consulting. And after watching a couple of your videos, I predict that you are going to hate the lack of entrepreneurial responsiblity in consulting. Looking forward to that review video in a few months ;)
Being a U Penn alumni hater. Lol I worked at Popeyes.
Assistant office manager at a military medical clinic.
My own online marketing consulting biz.
Hi Taylor! I’m new to your channel. I’ve been consult on the lower level, looking to grow to full time.
You have an awesome personality & High Points on a business application. I guess I’m a New Fan 😊
- Steven ‘Fridge’
I'm a new viewer and this video was super helpful!!! I am a Business & Economic undergrad at Trinity college Dublin, Ireland. I really want to go down the consultancy route and this view has just reinforced that so thank you very much Xx
Hi Avery!! So glad you found it helpful 😊 And that's awesomeee, congrats!! You sound like you'd be a good fit ahah thank you again 😊
Nice video, and neatly planned out future. First job was in Finance at Morgan Stanley also in NYC, but I left for Brazil to work in a family-owned business.
Thanks so much William!! I assume you prefer working for the family business? Or do you miss finance in NY?
Both have their pros and cons like everything in life, just depends on how you look at it. I'm grateful for both experiences, but I like where I'm at now. I have since moved back to Chicago and I'm the Treasury Manager at a Human Capital Management company. I live close to the lake and have more space than when I lived in NYC for much less, which is nice.
I'll always have love for NYC and it's a great place to start a career. Congrats on the new gig and good luck with the move! Also curious, are you allowed to share which consulting firm you'll be working in?
Dang thank you so much for all the useful info, especially since I’ll start the college application process soon. The UPenn dual degree program from your Wharton experience video and now with your life after college sounds so nice!
Of courseee, so happy to be making these videos! So happy to hear you've got some value out of them. Best of luck to you with the college application process-- it can be stressful but it feels goooood when you're done 🎉 Second semester senior life is 👌
Hey Taylor,
I don't even know if you will read this, but I have been wondering how the things mentioned in this video turned out to work the way there supposed to for you. Examples: Get a good feeling for several industries & then deciding which one to focus on, Gaining a lot of experience and insights in many possible opportunities ("extra years of learning") etc.
I don't know if you are planning on a video addressing these kind of thoughts, but I thought it would be a nice incentive as I just stumbled across this video (Still catching up with all the old videos :D ).
I relate a lot to the organizational mindset thing
Riiight haha it's a real thing
Great video. Good luck and have fun with your new job.
Thank you so much!! 😊
I love your confidence!
Thanks so much girl!!! 💜
The only consulting that matters is McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. Tier 2 firms like Oliver Wyman and AT Kearney get smaller-scale projects and are less prestigious. Then you have the Big 4 firms, which often get the less sexier projects like due diligence. Speaking as a Big 4 Strategy consultant. If any of you are interested in consulting, I highly advise you to aim for the top firms from the get-go.
Now I’m more interested in consulting, gonna look into it. Thanks for the video, greetings from Peru 🇵🇪
Awesome! Glad to hear it 😊 Thanks so much for watching, greetings from LA! 😎
Very interesting! Congrats on your new job! Do you think you’ll go back to Wharton for the MBA or pick another university?
I was wondering, could you talk about a little about your background? Such as family background, what high school you went to, GPA, sports you like, etc.? If you feel comfortable of course. I’d like to get a sense of what type of candidates go into Wharton as undergrads.
Thanks! And keep it up! Please give us an update when you can
Thank you so much!! Getting an MBA isn't on my radar at the moment actually, but I'd probably want to go elsewhere just to get a new experience 😊 And yes for sure, I made a whole video on that here! th-cam.com/video/T3vpXa4lxec/w-d-xo.html
Early! another awesome video!
Woohoo!! Thank you so much 😊
Your eyes are greener than that tree.
I'm at a smaller consulting org. HR consulting. I like it a lot. Doing some research some preliminary presentations, prospecting and networking are fun.
This is just like “the Bobs” in Office space 😂😂
I'm obsessed with the Bobs in office space, I take this as a compliment 😂
@@TaylorBell what would you say you do here?
Management consulting does for business management what it consultants does for business IT. And we learn about the business workings. Interestingly enough, these both overlap, but IT consultants typically don’t stick to one single company. We assist multiple companies.
Makes sense! Interesting to hear the similarities and differences
@@TaylorBell I’d say we’re similar in that we only need to understand the business process in order to take known technology available, and figure out where/how it could make a business’s job easier, or more streamlined. A lot of the bigger IT Consultants I know of have Business Consultants on board for just this purpose, or are themselves Business Consultants. Unfortunately, if you can’t adequately assess the business’s requirements, then you risk either missing the mark, or worse, getting the business set up with a solution that simply does not work for them. There’s nothing I dislike more than a sales person that shoves something at a business, promising them the world, and underdelivering. Unfortunately, My own business has been a victim of this, so I’ve implemented a vendor vetting process to get all vendors I use internally, and I’m expanding this to all vendors I partner with to provide services to my clients.
Loving those videos! Great work :)
Thank you so much!! 😊
My first job was tech support for apple, I sometimes miss that job because it was a smooth sail through most days. Currently in law school and its difficult :/
Looove apple support, they're always so helpful and knowledgeable. I bet it's tough now, but you'll thank yourself later! Best of luck 🎉
I’m Japanese. I’ll become a consulting in accenture this July. I’m interested in consulting in Japan and the other.
That’s awesome!! Congrats 🎉
Maximum efficiency for me, but only to the point where it's still humane. I usually optimize things to the max.
Hahah yess same here for me
You should do a video on how to apply for a consulting company!
I definitely will! 😊
Omg!!! Moving to NYC to be a consultant is MY DREAM!!! congratsss!! Would like to get all your tips 💪🏽✨🌟
Would you be able to make an interview tips video? Also I had an idea that you probably could make another side hustle polishing peoples resumes.
YES I definitely will be doing this. My next video goes over some of this just a little bit, but will be going more in depth in the future. Have also thought about resume editing 😊 Haha thank u for watching!
Hello from Azerbaijan. Just found this channel and subscribed. Looking forward to the future videos. If it is suitable for You I would like to ask some questions:
1. You mentioned that you will do strategy. So, you joined MBB?
2. Did you know any Excel prior to joining the company?
Also, very looking forward to the videos about the preparation for the consulting. How the idea came up to your mind to join there? How did you prepare for various stages of the interview (If you joined McKinsey, the video about new digital assessment can be very useful, in TH-cam there is literally no good video about that).
P.s. = Btw, you are beautiful, very smart and hard-working at the same time. It is very rare case to have all these 3 qualities at the same time.
Good luck!
Great video!! Couldn't stop looking at your eyes though hahah
Thank you for watching!
What attracted me to consulting is traveling to different places. But with the pandemic are consultants now doing work from Zoom instead of traveling?
Yess the travel was a huge pull for me as well. I honestly don't really know-- I'm sure that at the moment, things are mainly over zoom. Hopefully travel will happen soon enough when the vaccine becomes even more widespread!
But will keep yal updated on how travel is looking for me once I start!
Great vid Taylor! Curious to learn about your experience in the buy side and why you chose consulting over banking?
Thank you so much Sumit!! And for sure, I'll probably touch on that in a future video. But basically I just prefer the job itself and the lifestyle over banking or another finance focused job. I worked in finance both summers prior to graduating and wasn't interested in those jobs long-term
Congrats on graduating! I think Warren Buffett also studied at Wharton, if I'm not much mistaken. Cheers!
Thank you so much!! He did indeed 😊
@@TaylorBell Have a good one! Or have a wonderful day!
Thanks for sharing your journey Taylor!
Happy to! Updates to come :)
Efficiency is a natural human trait its collective efficiency. In the subject matter ie prolific mind..

@@TaylorBell hehe I've already finished my binge session! Can't wait for your next uploads :)
Good luck with your new consulting position in NY, Taylor.
Thanks so much Anand!
@@TaylorBell You're welcome. I had lived in the LA area and in the silicon valley area of California for quite a few years. I never got to see NY. LA and the silicon valley have a lot of creative energies flowing through them. I can foresee you owning your own boutique consulting firm in the future.
I love a good sequel! 😃 Good luck in NY
Ahah thank you so much! 😊 🎉
Exciting! Looking forward hearing more about your job, it sounds really interesting! Probably not for me tho, I'm not really someone who thinks about how to make things more efficient lol. 😆✌🏼
Thanks so much for watching Milla!! And HAHA I feel ya girl, nothing wrong with that 😂 We'll see if that trait even helps out with this job ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
HELLO! I'm japanese student.I'm studying English now so sorry if I take mistakes of grammar.
