A Week in My Life as a Consultant

Good morning, please excuse the wet hair it is Monday It's the beginning of the work week, and I haven't vlogged in like a good two months So I thought that I would try to vlog this week because I have a bit of travel going on from monday to wednesday So I thought it could be fun It could also just be really boring because i'll be in meetings all day And then you would just see me like at the airport and in the hotel But we'll see what happens this week when I try to vlog. I have a call at 9 I'm just going to be working from home in the morning and then going to the airport later, but right now I'm just going to pack so I don't have to do that after my calls I have my first call of the morning in about 20 minutes, and then yeah, I have some calls until about 11:30 And then I could have some lunch do a bit more work and then go to the airport I think we're on the same flight. That's a 3:50 Yeah, just had three calls this morning some emails and stuff and I'm gonna go get lunch with my brother And he's gonna take me to the airport, so I will probably see you next in Chicago I'm in Chicago. I made it. I'm in my hotel room as you can see we have dinner Reservations at 7:00 p.m. We as in myself my two co-workers and the client too that we're meeting today Just gonna like set up my laptop and stuff on my desk read through my emails a bit before going over for dinner I Always pull out this luggage rack thing from the closet So that way I don't need to be on my hands and knees on the floor to open and dig through my suitcase Just got back from dinner It is slightly snowing outside not too much a kind of kind of died down now I need to get to the office by about 8:30 a.m.. So I will see you tomorrow morning. Bye I got up about an hour ago. Got ready Just did a little bit of work right now. I'm gonna head out in about thirty minutes to walk over to the office It's kind of far It's like a mile But I actually really just want to walk and not take a lift or anything Because I miss walking because where I live now I just drive around everywhere like I did in LA but I miss walking I miss I miss my London life a little Good morning it is about 6:00 a.m.. On Wednesday, and I am heading to the airport checking out of my hotel in Chicago And I'm going to Dallas And this is for a meeting with a different client than the one that I met yesterday here in Chicago I'm gonna land in Dallas around 11 a.m.. And then my flight out from Dallas is 8:25 p.m. Back home, so I'm gonna get home kind of late gonna be a very busy day So we will see when I can check in again Good morning it is Thursday around 7:30 a.m.. I got home at about 1:00 a.m. My flight landed at midnight and then Took me awhile to get off the plane come home whatever and today is gonna be a go into the office to work day Please do not mind my unmade bed back here. I took a nap earlier before dinner I don't know if you could tell from the vlog footage so far this week, but I didn't get too much sleep So I took like an hour nap after work and just had dinner And now enjoying some tea Because I had a lot of trouble in the beginning of the week today I just had a lot of different calls and things to get done other days I'm like talking more to people in person It just kind of depends Every day is a little bit different tomorrow is gonna get another one of those really busy days with a lot of calls I have a call from 9 to 10 10 to 10:30 10:30 to 11:00 11:30 1:30 2 1 1:30 to 2:30 to 3:00 and 3:30 to 4:00 Hello it's 5:00 p.m.. On Friday I am Just finishing up all of my work for the day I just wanted to show you this is the post-it that I carried around with with myself All day today at work. It's just like all the calls that I had back-to-back and I just like Couldn't remember it all and I didn't want to keep having to open my calendar on Outlook So I just put it on a post-it and then like stuck it stuck. It's my laptop today I went by super fast because I had all these different back-to-back calls Which sometimes I like sometimes I don't like because it feels like I don't have time to actually do work because I'm just on the phone Luckily towards the end of the day I was able to get some work done. I actually love to work a little early Which was good because it started snowing a bit more and then finished up work at home I'm very grateful that my job is flexible like that I don't have to be like chained to my desk from 9:00 to 5:00 every single day as I said I'm done with everything that I need to get done today I might spend a little bit more time just sorting through what I might need to get done next week so I can be prepared But I think you know for all intensive purposes this work week is over So I am going to end the vlog here. I hope you enjoyed I hope it was interesting to see what I get up to in a week in my job as a consultant and Let me know if you want to see more videos like this in the future Or if you're just like that was really boring you like barely showed us anything as always Thank you for watching, and I will see you in the next one. Bye

Monday morning, 8am, and still in bed. Is this a comedy?

[u/Bob556873]

Lol. I didn’t watch the entire video, but I can assure you this is not the life of a typical consultant, at least not at the major consulting firms. In my case, I wake up at 4AM every Monday morning to fly to my client site, work until 7PM, go to a 2 hour team dinner, and finally check into my hotel and collapse from exhaustion.

Her job seems to be a lot more relaxed or she is showing a really, really chill week.

[u/Buffett_Goes_OTM]

She's packing in the morning what? The sun is out? A 3:50 flight? What? Lunch with your brother?

[u/likechaaa]

She’s not MBB...

[u/IMNOTJEWISH]

Looked her up—just so everyone's clear she's not at MBB. She's at a small boutique in an OH suburb.

​

Nothing wrong with that, but let's just be clear that this is a different side of consulting that the vast majority of this sub isn't aiming for.

MRW packing at 8 AM on Monday
