Everything About My Accenture Experience as a Technology Consultant

cwong0102Leave a comment

I always get asked if I liked Accenture, what did I do, how was my experience, all those questions, but I never really answered it in a video because it’s always an evolving answer, but now that I left, I give a very detailed and thorough answer! Many people ask me for a coffee chat to talk about my experience at Accenture, so here it is all in one video! Please note that this is just my experience, and I highly recommend you that network around with people at Accenture for the particular office, business unit and even role to really learn how your experience could be like or learn from many different people if you want to get a sense of Accenture as a whole!

My Biggest Issue with Technology Consulting: A Big Reason Why I Left Accenture

cwong0102Leave a comment

The nature of project-based work is unpredictable and sometimes out of your control based off of the many factors that put you in a powerless position. This video will go over my biggest issue with technology consulting and something you should be aware of as well as this can happen to anyone in any consulting firm or field.

I waited for a few months to film this video because I was angry, frustrated, and upset. You may even still hear some anger and frustration in this video because sometimes you’re put in a powerless position, but sometimes you need to take your career in your own hands.

Have you experienced this? What would you do in this situation if this were you?

What is AI?

cwong0102Leave a comment

I’m by no means an expert in AI, but it is NOT perfect and will not take over humans. It would help speed processes, but it will still require human intervention.

There is data bias from AI and it’s only as good as your data was. There’s also a lot of bias with the data you put in, so it’s always very important to make sure you try to remove bias.

What did you think of the situation in the graphic? Are you surprised?

Do you need to code?

cwong0102Leave a comment

I did an Instagram reel before on 8 tech jobs without coding, and unfortunately the caption (that had a lot of tons of caveats and notes) dropped due to a glitch on Instagram, but many thought the roles I mentioned did require coding so I made this instead.

I still think coding is a very important skill to have regardless if it requires coding or not because it can help you with understanding the role and work or to actually do the work itself.

As someone who didn’t study computer science, there are many ways you can use your resources in school, out of school, on the job or internship, or around you. Free or not! This is how I got my experience and how you can as well! Even if my current job does not require coding, the logical thinking of understanding how code performs helps a lot in structuring your thinking interacting with a system.

Did I miss out on anything? Comment down below!

The 10 BIGGEST MISTAKES I Made In MY FIRST YEAR AS A CONSULTANT

cwong0102Leave a comment

Got some juicy lessons that I learned during my first year as a consultant! OMG, I made so many mistakes (who hasn’t?), and honestly, I’m pretty sure no one would have guessed the last one, so definitely stick around for that one. I wanted to make this video so any of you that are about to start your job in consulting can be prepared for what there is to come and also to avoid making my mistakes. I also provide you some tips on what you can do instead to avoid these traps!

Types of Consulting

cwong0102Leave a comment

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!

What you THOUGHT you knew about Technology Consulting

cwong0102Leave a comment

This was a super fun video to make! I’m sure you may have thought of one of these misconceptions, but you’re going to have to watch to find out if you’re wrong!

I go over 6 misconceptions about technology consulting!

  1. Do you need to be badass all the time to succeed?
  2. Can you get promoted just from doing your job well?
  3. Can you be a good technology consultant as an introvert?
  4. How can you be a consultant if you don’t know anything?
  5. Do you need technical skills or a tech major?
  6. Do you need to code?

My channel focuses on professional development but I also highlight my experience, lifestyle, and insights into a career in technology consulting in hopes to encourage more women to consider this amazing career – especially in STEM!

Any questions at all about the information I provided or about Accenture or technology consulting, please let me know!

WHAT would you do as a TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANT

cwong0102Leave a comment

I often get the questions on what exactly do technology consultants do on a day to day basis, and while that is a very difficult question to answer, and if you ask any consultant, they’re going to say “it depends.” I remember being a college student getting that same answer in all my informational interviews, but now that I’m actually IN the field, I have a clear image of what is out there and finally found a way to break it all down in a digestible format for you!

In this video, I go over the type of work and the type of projects you may expect as a technology consultant. As I only do software implementations, I’ve also asked other technology consultants and their experiences, so this should be a pretty comprehensive video on what kind of work you can expect to do!
