Management Consulting Insights by Kevin Jon: Recent Episodes
Kevin Jon
On this podcast, I specialize on providing personal insights into: 1) how to enter, 2) how to work successfully in and, 3) how to exit the management consulting industry.
I have worked in management consulting for more than 3 years before transferring to the wonderful world of venture capital.

Gautam Adani, the 3rd richest man in the world and chairman of billion-dollar empire Adani Group has been accused of pulling the largest fraud in corporate history.
War rages on.
Two unlikely titans face off.
In one corner is beloved billionaire Gautam Adani and Indian conglomerate Adani Group.
A behemoth worth more than $200 billion dollars.
In the other corner is a U.S Forensic Research company called Hindenburg Research.
Even though they’re a young company, Hindenburg has an impressive resume.
They’re the same organization that exposed Nikola motors for fraud…
…and brought numerous other companies to their knees.
Now they turn to Adani Group.

Masayoshi Son might very well be the craziest investor of all time! A net worth of over $20 billion, and once the wealthiest person in the world for three full days. 73rd on the Forbes list of The World's Billionaires 2022, and 45th of the Forbes most powerful person list Masayoshi Son wants to fund big, audacious ideas, and plans to establish a $30 billion dollar fund.

Little children have fantasies. The child who is skinny and weak delights in dreaming that, with the snap of a finger, he can become a Stallone, or-minus ze German accent - a Schwarzenegger.
The kid who rarely leaves home and doesn’t travel wishes he could be a pilot, or an astronaut.
But what is one to make of a child who believed he was God?
Those were the thoughts of young George Soros, growing up in upper-middle-class surroundings in 1930s Budapest.

Since I started this YouTube channel a lot has changed in my work life. Back then I worked as a management consultant at Roland Berger and showed you what the daily life of a management consultant looks like. I made vlogs about my business trips and showed you the best hotels and office views. But I'm now at a point where management consulting for me is not the most important topic anymore. In this video I want to talk about the future of this channel and give you the opportunity to decide with me together what topics I could cover in the future. Therefore I'm going to show you all the different projects I'm working on and give you insights in the earning potentials. What are you interested in? Leave a comment with your opinion! For now I'm out there's not going to be videos anymore.

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.
