What You DIDN’T Know About Traveling as a Consultant
I’m going to spill the secrets about travelling that a lot of aspiring or even current consultant don’t know about travelling! It’s already amazing as it is that our travels are paid for, but did you know about these little secrets you can also take advantage of? There are so many perks from the type of expenses, how to best utilize your business trips, how to get the best value in your travel with points and status!
With these perks, I was able to take personal trips to Iceland and Amsterdam for FREE on company dollar! I know that travel is discouraged now due to COVID19, but this is something to look forward to!
If anyone is interested in becoming a technology consultant at Accenture, reach out to me and we can discuss! Accenture internships start recruiting in the spring, but you can get a headstart now!
Dawn and Sora take the TOILET PAPER TOWER
This is a fun video, and this has been trending in the cat world, so I decided to join the bandwagon. 😹
Watch Dawn and Sora ATTEMPT to jump the toilet paper wall! No toilet paper rolls and cats were hurt during this experiment. Have you tried this with your cats? Or even dogs?! 😂
It’s okay to relax!
Due to COVID19, business owners are struggling to keep their business afloat, working professionals trying to keep their jobs and make ends meet, and students trying to pass their classes and get jobs and internships during this tough market.
Trust me. You need a break once in a while. You don’t want to burnout! Make sure to enjoy your life as much as you can and take a break! You may learn or find inspiration in something you didn’t notice before!
THEY ACCEPTED OUR OFFER! What’s Next? | Buying a House in your 20s in NYC (COVID19)
Hey everyone! IT’S FINALLY HERE! We LOCKED DOWN a condo, signed the contract, and entered the closing process! In our previous video, we mentioned going for a renovation project, but in this video, we also discussed why we decided to move forward with our other best choice. It was a super nerve-wracking few months trying to find a condo right for us, getting our offer accepted, and then eventually proceeding to the closing process. We also show a tour of the condo as well!
Thank you everyone for all the help and advice we received during this journey! We really learned a lot about the real estate world and ourselves. It’s tough being a first home buyer during the pandemic and even harder in NYC! Luckily we had an amazing agent and attorney to guide us along the way!
What are the PROJECT STAGES in Technology Consulting? | WHAT TO EXPECT!
So many of you have asked me what exactly should you expect on a project in tech consulting. I talked about what kind of projects you can have, but what about what to expect on your day to day life? If you ask every consultant, you’ll get a “it depends” because it varies by client and project stage. Today, I break down what to expect in every stage of the project, so hopefully it demystifies what to expect even for just a little! In most tech consulting projects, they follow the standard SDLCs, so they look very similar to if you’re a programmer or engineer!
if you have any questions at all about tech consulting or even any of the information in this video, let me know!
Understanding the Unheard
A friend of mine once said I had a bad habit of just listening. I also need to try to understand. This applies to concepts and people. You truly learn the complexities when you listen to understand instead of listening to listen! This is what it takes to be an active and great listener.
We got REJECTED, but potential RENOVATION PROJECT?! | Buying a House in your 20s in NYC (COVID19)
My boyfriend and I placed an offer on a condo in NYC during the COVID19 pandemic! Unfortunately, there was a bidding war and the other buyer had a better financial situation. 😭 We started our offer at 800K and it went as high as 900K. It was crazy. I would say this is probably my least favorite part of the entire process because you could fall in love with a place but lose it because someone else loves it even more or is just more financially capable. This was the condo we lost:
We are considering this condo that is the cheapest out of all of the condos we’re considering but it’s in PARK SLOPE which is an amazing and family-friendly neighborhood, but it’s a renovation project. Is it worth it? There are complications with COVID, and we would also be first home buyers. We have one more video on the final result and if they accept our offer!
Have any of you been trying to renovate during the pandemic? Especially in NYC? I’m sure there are permits and construction that slowed down, but also there are fewer COVID restrictions now than before.
Big vs Boutique Consulting Firms | Which would be right for you?
https://www.youtube.com/embed/iuqgHb7WvDo
I see a lot of people interested in consulting considering big firms, but I wanted to make this video to also show that boutique firms have its benefits too! As someone who worked at a big and a boutique firm, I see value for both types of firms for different people. Hopefully this helps you make a decision with consulting recruiting season upon us!
In this video, I discuss what is a big and a boutique firm and why go for a big or a boutique firm. I put a spin on the video too for anyone interested in technology consulting, but it’s still applying for all types of consulting!
For any questions at all on the video or the information, please let me know, and I will be happy to help out!
Growth Mindset
I think everyone has heard of growth mindset thrown around, but why should you care? Now HOW can you start implementing what I deem as my ingredients of success? What we deem as success and happiness is all subjective, but you also don’t want to lose yourself in results, metrics, and goals. It’s good to have goals to know if you are on track, but you should also trust the process and learn what you can while achieving it. You’ll be surprised of what you will learn about yourself!
