Big vs. Boutique Consulting Firms

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!

Full podcast episode here: https://linktr.ee/christinepodcast

I had friends stay over with me not too long ago, and they happened to be YouTubers as well! I sat down with my boyfriend, Addison Chen, The Handoff with Derek Mei, and his girlfriend, Christy Joonie Park. We all graduated 3-4 years ago and some of us are already working full time, some of us are in grad school or even optometry school, and we come from different walks of life. With many college students graduating soon in May, I thought this would be perfect!

DAY IN MY LIFE AS A TECH CONSULTANT | I tried the Pomodoro Technique as a Consultant. Does it work?

cwong0102Leave a comment

Trying something new and I was curious if the Pomodoro technique could work with a consultant’s lifestyle! I was skeptical, but this is what happened! This is a day in my life as a tech consultant at Accenture, and a very accurate and no fluff vlog at that too!

To those who don’t know what the Pomodoro technique is, it’s a time management method to work in focused, 25-minute intervals with short breaks of 5 minutes. This may work for many, and this may also not work for many!

What is Workday?

If you didn’t know already, I’m a Workday Financials consultant at Accenture! The question I often get asked is “What is Workday?” Even when I started at Accenture, I asked myself the same question.

You may have noticed at the bottom of many job applications that it’s powered by Workday. The part of the software is on Workday Financials. Mostly used by finance and accounting teams, that includes Supplier Accounts, Procurement, Customer Revenue, Business Assets, Financial Accounting, Banking & Settlement and more.

They also have HCM, Payroll, Education, and many other products and SKUs. It’s a hot field to be in as a certification can get you far. A plus if you’re in Financials as Workday is pushing big time on this!

Are you interested in working for Workday or being a #Workday consultant?

Haters Gonna Hate

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.

I GIVE MY BOYFRIEND A HAIRCUT: So How Much Does He Know About Me?

cwong0102Leave a comment

I’ve been cutting Addison’s hair a lot due to the pandemic, but at a certain point, I got tired, so he tried cutting it himself. He actually cut a BIT too much at one point on the side of his head, but I was like why don’t I do it BUT let’s make a video out of it where we see how much he knows about me! It’s actually intended to ask these questions in a fun way so you can learn a little bit more about me!

For each time he got it right, he would get one minute of haircut (30 seconds if partially right), and for each time he got it wrong, I would just keep asking questions about me. How well do you think he did and how was the haircut?

I have a strong philosophy that you can manage your time to STAY productive. You don’t manage your time without taking in consideration with productivity and you can’t be productive without managing your time. Today, I break down how exactly I do it, and it really starts with planning big then breaking it down into bite-sized pieces which helps you stay motivated.

I juggle my full time job as an Accenture technology consultant, a content creator with a YouTube channel, podcast, Instagram, and Clubhouse, and entrepreneur with Technology Consulting Community PLUS being an NYC cat mommy of three. How do I do it all? This is how!
