I asked my Instagram audience for questions, and I answered it all in this video! It would mostly answer your questions about technology consulting, cats, or myself. I actually originally filmed this video at home, but when I was editing, I realized it didn’t record audio, so I decided to just film it on the go during my California trip so it would be a little more fun!
Do you still have any questions left? Make sure to follow me on Instagram to join the next Q&A or comment down below and I will answer!
On January 15 of 2021, I adopted my foster cat, Charlotte, from Best Friends Animal Society! I haven’t really included her on my channel much because I was waiting for this video to give a big bang! Since she’s a domestic shorthair and we don’t have much history from her, I decided to do the Basepaws DNA test to see her health and genetic makeup! Let’s see what other cat breeds she’s closely related to! THE RESULTS ARE SHOCKING!

I released a video last week on my debt-free journey, and as promised, here are the tips I have on how to save money! New York City is notorious for being super expensive, but it is still possible to save a lot of money! I tell you all the tips I used to ACTUALLY save enough money to pay off $50,000 of student loans in one year!
Despite the title, I broke this video up into two parts. The first half is focused on general tips ANYONE can use. The second half is focused on not-so-obvious tips New Yorkers can use while living in this expensive city! I’ve even given these tips to my friends born and raised in NYC and they weren’t even aware of half of these tips you can save even more money.
I wanted to note that I think the BIGGEST reasons why many can’t meet their financial goals are really denial, lifestyle creep, and discipline. Just because you live in NYC or an expensive city like LA or SF doesn’t mean you can’t save. In fact, I’ve compared my budget to someone down south and I actually spend less than him. Due to COVID19, almost everyone is trying to spend less (and even saving their stimulus package when you should be “stimulating” the economy) and some are even missing bills. The first step on meeting your financial goals with a fool-proof plan no matter how bad it gets is really acknowledging where you’re at and what you need to do to meet them, being aware of lifestyle creep, and lastly, DISCIPLINE to stick to the plan. In my video, I’m not trying to teach how to live like a barbarian, but there are SO many tips anyone can use to still live a good life and save your money so it’s sustainable.

In 2019, student loans reached an all-time high of $1.41 trillion! That is RIDICULOUS! I want to tell you that you can do it and that it IS possible as you can see with my debt-free journey. This is also a difficult time for many financially due to COVID19, so I wanted to assure you that you can do this, and when there is a will, there is a way.
I attended Boston University, and while I had grants, it wasn’t enough, so I had to take $50,000 in student loans. I was super determined to pay it off because I hated the feeling of being in debt. Today, I’m releasing a video on my debt-free journey in how I paid off ALL $50K in about one year while living in New York City and hopefully this can inspire you to get started on your journey today!

I have a video next week that will teach you all my tips on how I saved money to pay off $50K of student loans

So many people ask me about a career in technology consulting, and while I can help them out, I think the real question is how to get the job! I talk about my entire hiring process PLUS how I prepared each step. This is a two-part video series because it’s chock full of information and tips. The first part is about the career fair, application process, and first round interview (behavioral). The second part is about the final round interview (case interview and behavioral interview with executives) and exactly why Accenture hired me! Regardless if you’re interested in technology consulting or Accenture, I think these videos would help IMMENSELY as all these tips apply for all job searches regardless what industry or walks of life. I’m sharing this with you because I know Covid-19 has pushed us to these awful times of being laid off and getting your offers rescinded, so hopefully these will get you back on your feet!

I hope this video can help give you a clear picture of what a tech consultant does and maybe consider this field for you! I am currently a technology consultant at Accenture in NYC for about two years now, and what better way to go over what exactly do I do them when I’m in quarantine and can actually tell you (and not be judged by people in the office). This video is for you if you are considering in going into tech consulting or consulting! Also, if you like cats, this video is definitely for you because I have two beautiful cats and there will be so much footage of them!
I know this is a long vlog, but I put in an educational segment every day as well for you to learn exactly how it is as a tech consultant. I talk about how a work week in technology consulting is like (in quarantine or working from home), what to expect, and the life that comes around it! Each day will cover each of these segments: how to stand out in a client call as an entry level, how are we and Accenture dealing with COVID-19 Quarantine, work life balance in consulting, differences (and skills needed) in Technology Consulting vs. Management or Strategy Consulting, and lastly, career counselors and performance achievement at Accenture or in the consulting industry.
As we live in NYC, one of the major epicenters of this pandemic, we’re trying to make the most of the situation and hope you are too wherever you are! For me, it has been very similar to how it is when I work remotely but of course some modifications were made since we can’t go outside as freely like to my boxing classes and to minor errands. Make sure to stay at home, stay healthy, stay safe, and wash your hands often! Do this for yourself and for everyone around you. We can do this guys!

I am finally releasing video on why YOU should consider becoming a technology consultant! I am currently a technology consultant at Accenture in NYC for about two years now, and SO MANY ask what exactly do I do and if tech consulting (or consulting) is a good path for them. Even my parents still ask me to this day, so I’m literally sending them this video! This video will go over what exactly is tech consulting, why companies need tech consultants (this question baffles my parents), skills needed, and pros and cons. It’s a long video, but I go in depth so it should answer all your questions!
