This is a work day in my life vlog of a REAL day working in the office as a technology consultant at Accenture in the New York City One Manhattan West office!

A subscriber asked me what they should spend on with their first paycheck as a consultant, and I’ve never been asked this question before! I thought it would be pretty interesting to answer, so I broke it down in a video!
Please keep in mind that I ALWAYS recommend analyzing your current financial situation FIRST whether it be dependents, loans, savings, and financial goals, then budgeting how much of your paycheck goes to them, and maximizing your tax deductibles.

For those who don’t know, experienced hire is mostly used for anyone who has had work experience outside of undergraduate or graduate studies.

If you are still stuck, comment down below on your situation and I can help you out or join me on my free coaching program here on the YouTube channel or DM me for 1-on-1 private coaching!
