May 7, 2021May 7, 2021 cwong0102Leave a comment

Did you see my vlog that came out yesterday? I was a bit extra having so much fun with the DJI Pocket 2! Such a fun little gadget!

Comment down below on what kind of vlogs you want to see from me and what kind of information you want, whether it’s tech, consulting, professional or even personal! I have Miami and LA content coming out soon!

My content strategy now is to do more free 1-on-1 coaching sessions (application form: https://forms.gle/nTAynaVRWxVPS9hHA), more lifestyle Vlogs of a tech consultant and a New Yorker, but still a lot of educational and podcast content for anyone interested in furthering their professional development, learn about tech consulting, or even sharpen their personal finance knowledge!

Follow me on Instagram at @christine.innovates for more! I go over technology consulting, technology, consulting, careers, and also my own personal stories and narratives as a young working professional!

P.S. DJI, please sponsor me! This is such a cool photo that highlights the DJI Pocket 2!

Consulting Staffing Process

May 5, 2021 cwong0102Leave a comment

Did you know after a job interview and job offer, you STILL have to search for projects? You can either wait for your staffing coordinator to find one for you or you take it in your own hands to network and find the projects you want to do to advance your own career in the way you want to!

Here is the typical staffing process. Sometimes you even get client interviews and the client could decide on which resources should be staffed on the project and sometimes it’s more of an introduction.

I know many people who don’t find their work to be fulfilling in consulting, and while partially that could be because of the firm, sometimes it’s actually because of you. The staffing and networking process is where you can pave your own path. Most people who do wait for a project while “on the bench” (which means unstaffed), won’t get a project they want.

What kind of projects would you want to be staffed on?

Collaborate, don’t compete

April 30, 2021April 30, 2021 cwong0102Leave a comment

Collaborate don’t compete. I think something a lot of people fear is the opportunities out there are snatched by someone else, and I can definitely sense it when other students are hesitant on helping others with their interviews and job search when it’s the same firm and role. To be honest, I was like that too because I constantly felt imposter syndrome where I didn’t feel as qualified as people around me.

However, they are not really stealing opportunities from you. The same also applies to women bringing each other down instead of working together to succeed together. Not just women either but this applies to everyone. Why does everything need to be a competition? It doesn’t!

Everyone is on his or her own journey and the more we help each other, the more we actually thrive together. The world is very lonely to live in if everything is a race. What kind of person do you strive to be?

Top Tech Trends 2021

April 28, 2021 cwong0102Leave a comment

I think the top tech trends of 2021 are really interesting to look at because a lot is actually driven by the pandemic. One thing to note is most people think of high tech but don’t actually see things like advanced covid development as “tech.” Many companies develop technology behind the scenes to operate more efficiently and effectively. Even animation studios develop in-house technology to animate better hair on characters!

Which tech trend do you think will take off the most and is there anything on this list you think should be here?

Big vs. Boutique Consulting Firms

April 14, 2021 cwong0102Leave a comment

I’m always a fan of boutique firms and always didn’t understand why so many people cared about being in the MBB or Big 4 as the ONLY destination. Boutique firms provide so much value and is actually how I started out when I did my data analytics consulting internship at Analytic Partners in NYC.

There are pros and cons to both big and boutique firms, but frankly it also depends on what you want to do with your career. Large consulting firms are great if you still want to explore many different parts of consulting and industries, and boutique firms are great to get a lot of focused experience and skills in a particular industry, field, or region – like data analytics at Analytic Partners!

Next time ask yourself why do you want to pursue consulting or the field you’re interested, and it can help you make the decision!

Haters Gonna Hate

April 2, 2021 cwong01021 Comment

Haters gonna hate. No matter where you go, no matter how far you want to go, you’ll always have haters and people who wish you fail. It definitely sucks even more when it’s the people closest to you. I even have family who actually don’t support my career, my YouTube channel, revealing as much as I do online, and my own success.

I like to say the smaller you are, the more freedom you have to do whatever you want (within legal and ethical lines), but I think even when you get bigger and grow your presence, it’s important not to feel the pressure of your presence and still move forward. Speak up even if there is darkness because you will be the light for so many others. As you get bigger, your shadow grows and so do the haters, but so does your impact on the community whether it be positive or negative.

What is UX?

March 24, 2021 cwong0102Leave a comment

What is UX? This is such a key skill in the tech world that even non-UX specialists should know! Especially in technology consulting, it’s engrained even more to tailor a solution to the client.

I didn’t know much about UX until I interviewed Derek Mei for my podcast and also when he held a workshop for Technology Consulting Community. The more I learned about it, the more excited I became. It is such a cool job in tech now to be in and you don’t even need to code!

Now can you tell me the difference between UX and UI?
