Did I Waste 2 Years in Management Consulting?

From the creator

I’ve actually been asked whether I thought I wasted 2 years in management consulting by quite a few people (including my mom, who thought I wasted my time lol), so I gave it some serious thought 🤔 But I always came to the same conclusion: had I not joined consulting, I really don’t think I would have adopted a framework mentality towards problem solving since I wouldn’t have gone through the case interview process And this skills is going to benefit me for the rest of my life, so 100% worth it ✌🏻 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Why I might have wasted 2 years 00:43 What I got out of Management Consulting 01:29 How to Problem Solve using Frameworks 02:45 Example: Business planning 03:55 Example: Starting a new job 04:27 How you can use frameworks RESOURCES I MENTION IN THE VIDEO Victor Cheng’s Business Situation Framework - https://www.caseinterview.com/case_interview_frameworks.pdf Communicate effectively at work - https://youtu.be/8bZGi3yz4qg MY FAVORITE GEAR 🎥 My YouTube Gear - https://www.jeffsu.org/yt-gear/ 💻 What's On My Desk - https://www.jeffsu.org/gear/ 🎆 My Wallpapers - https://jeffsu.gumroad.com/l/gradient-wallpaper-pack MY FAVORITE SOFTWARE ❎ CleanShot X - https://geni.us/cleanshotx ✍️ Skillshare - https://geni.us/skillshare-jeff BE MY FRIEND: 📧 Subscribe to my Productivity newsletter - https://www.jeffsu.org/productivity-ping/ 📸 Instagram - https://instagram.com/j.sushie 🤝 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jsu05/ 👨🏻‍💻 WHO AM I: I'm Jeff, a tech professional trying to figure life out.

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
