Top Tech Trends 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?

cwong0102Leave a comment

It’s been about a year since I started officially on YouTube as a tech and career YouTube channel, and I learned a lot! In this reflection, I focused less on being a YouTuber but more on lessons I learned throughout the journey after helping hundreds find jobs in tech consulting. I also recently pivoted away from paid group coaching sessions (I still do my 1-on-1 paid sessions), and now doing 1-on-1s for free on my channel! I also spoke about what I plan on doing in the future as well which include the free coaching sessions! Whether or not you’re interested in tech consulting or not! Watch to learn how you can get one!

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!

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!

The Different Tracks of Technology Consulting | Functional vs. Technical Consulting

cwong0102Leave a comment

A common misconception about technology consulting is that you need to know how to code or program or you need a technical background, but it’s more of a spectrum between business and technology. There are multiple tracks within technology consulting: there is functional consulting which is more on the management consulting spectrum, and there is technical consulting which is more on the technology spectrum, but both are needed for a successful project.

CONSULTING 101: How to handle difficult client questions and situations | CLIENT FACING SKILLS

cwong0102Leave a comment

So you’re a new consultant or you’re interested in consulting and not sure how to handle difficult client questions and situations. What should you be doing? What do you do if you don’t know the answer? I share methods and strategies that my colleagues have used to make sure you can still uphold professionalism while maintaining the trust with your clients!

It’s very important to to sharpen these skills because client facing skills are so important, much more than your actual business and technical acumen because if the client doesn’t like or trust you, there’s nothing you can show them!

What is UX?

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?
