My time working in management consulting in a leading consultancy oppened a lot of doors for me. But I still think that there are a lot of negatives aspects of the management consulting industry. The negative sides of management consulting do exist. In this video I will be honest with you and share two major negatives of management consulting. For that I will also talk about a conversation I had with another friend of mine (also Consultant) who told me about a client project he did in strategy consulting that didn't really create any value. Other than that I will also talk about the myth that management consulting is always talked about as the perfect career start for future founders.
