Types of Consulting
As a technology consultant at Accenture, of course I have preferences to tech, but I don’t think many people realize there are more to consulting than just management and strategy consulting. These are the biggest buckets in consulting, but there are still subsets of consulting under them as well. Some can even be focused on industries like healthcare or more specialized as well like change management.
Let me know in the comments which one you’re interested in pursuing or if you already are a consultant! Curious as to why it speaks to you as well!
If technology consulting or consulting in general speaks to you, make sure to follow me and also check out my YouTube channel that focuses on technology consulting, consulting, careers, professional & personal development, and money for the young working professional!

Derek Mei: UX/UI Designer, Master’s Degree Candidate, & YouTuber | TECHNOLOGY PROFESSIONALS
Derek and I go back to college freshman year when we both co-founded our collegiate chapter of Phi Chi Theta at Boston University. With a degree doing a triple major in business, computer science, and mathematics, he decided to pursue a career in UX and UI while pursuing his master’s degree in human factors in information systems at Bentley University and starting a YouTube channel called The Handoff for tips, tricks, and resources for junior designers to land their first UI or UX design job.
UX is something I’ve always been interested in myself because I love how it introduces the psychology and overall experience into the design, so I dive deep to really learn more about UX in this particular episode. If you are considering a career in UX/UI or you’re just fascinated by how technology changes lives, this is the episode for you! He will also be holding an Intro to UX workshop for the Technology Consulting Community, so make sure you join the Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/techconsulting
BEHAVIORAL INTERVIEWS 101 & MOCK INTERVIEW with Kajal Gada | STAR, Tips, & Thank You Emails (PT. 2)
I had the pleasure of collaborating with Kajal Gada to go over all of our tips for behavioral interviews! I think the best way to actually show you HOW to answer behavioral questions is by showing you how we actually do it through a mock interview.
Make sure to check out Part 1 of this video on Kajal’s channel where she focuses on robotics for “How to RESEARCH and PREPARE for a behavioral interview? // Kajal Gada and Christine Wong.”
Kajal will play the perspective as an experienced hire or as a student with a lot of internship experiences, and I will play the perspective of a student with very few experiences, so this video should be perfect for you no matter where you are in your career journey.

Bros over Hoes vs. Hoes over Bros?! | CHATTING WITH CHRISTINE
New podcast episode is up!
Continuing our conversation about friendships! I chat with my friends, Michelle N. Lam and Sally Chen, about how boys have affected our friendship. HOW SPICY! It’s pretty easy to get lost in the mix, but we talk about how exactly it affected our friendship and even our relationships – positively and negatively!
MY YEAR IN REVIEW 2020 | Starting YouTube, Podcast, Technology Consulting Community, & Buying a Home
It’s December 31st, so it’s the end of 2020! It definitely was a tough year for many people financially, physically, and mentally due to COVID19, but I did want to make this year to look back on the positive aspects of the year so we can end the year on a positive note. I was able to pay off my student loans, buy a home, start a YouTube channel, podcast and also the Technology Consulting Community.
I didn’t mention in this video and I’m beating myself up for not but also this was the year I started fostering cats! It’s been such an amazing experience despite the countless scratches on my arms and hands, haha.
Addison Chen: Technology Consultant, Medium Writer, & My Boyfriend! | TECHNOLOGY PROFESSIONALS
You guys see him on my YouTube channel and on my podcast a lot! I finally interview my boyfriend, Addison Chen! He is also a technology consultant at Accenture, but what’s interesting is despite both of us being Chinese Americans born and raised in New York, our journeys becoming technology consultants at Accenture have been vastly different. He studied at SUNY Albany, a state university in New York with a degree in computer science and math, and entered the workforce with no internships or work experience as an IT consultant at a small firm (less than 5 people!) in New York City and then later moved into Accenture (over 50K people!). He also writes Medium articles on the side about coding and other topics like real estate!
FUN FACT: We met on Coffee Meets Bagel because I saw his job title said he was a technology consultant. Our first two hours texting each other were literally about computer science and coding! A couple that codes together stays together.

How to Get a JOB OR INTERNSHIP with a LOW GPA | How I Got My Job in Consulting
In my Job and Internships Rejections Story video, I went over how I got rejected by many jobs and internships due to a low GPA, but I worked my way up to eventually land a full time job in NYC at Accenture, my DREAM JOB! Due to BU’s intense grades deflation, my GPA took a huge hit, but I was able to get back up on my feet. It was a long and hard journey, but these are all my tips I used.
