SO MANY college students come to me asking what can they do to improve their chances or how they can become a technology consultant. I put all of my advice separated by freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior year. This doesn’t matter how early or how late you discover the career of technology consulting or how well you’ve prepared or hustled up until this point, this advice is for everyone!
Ever wonder what you need to do to be considered a GOOD technology consultant? Or you’re just starting out and want to know how you can impress your clients and team? This is the video for you.
I break it down to three segments. Client Relationships, Communication, Technology, and if you stick around for the biggest tip I have at the end, you’ll learn something I see even the most experienced technology consultants sometimes fail to do.
Check it out! Please let me know if you have any questions at all!
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!
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!

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!

This video is different than usual, but maybe it’ll be a fun video for you! I react to Consulting Comedy’s memes that highlight little snippets of how it is in consulting! I react to them with the TRUTH behind each meme of what it’s like!
