Why is everyone a consultant?

I used to work in consulting at a big 4 and quit my job because all of the powerpointing felt scammy. Now I'm coping by making a video series about consulting being a scam. This is part 2 of my "Conslutting - Consulting is a scam" series. You don't need to watch part 1 before watching this, but if you want, you can watch it after watching this video here: (also quick disclaimer: the quality of part 1 is really bad, because I was still filming on my phone, and I had no clue about editing and stuff, but I read up on that now - better late than never - sorry :/): Conslutting Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef20cn48sCk&t=2s

And here's a list of all the sources I used for this video:

Books:
'The Big Con' by Marianna Mazzucato and Rosie Collington (it's amazing, go buy it now)
'When McKinsey comes to Town' by Michael Forsythe and Walt Bogdanich (also amazingggg read and super insightful, go buy it as well while you're at it, we should be spending our money on books anyways, instead of other material possessions)

Insights into my weird life: https://www.instagram.com/boomers_hate_this_trick/

Also now that I quit my job, I'm in the process of trying to find another way to make it through life, so I founded a sustainable jewellery brand with my best friends:
www.the-squid-studios.com

We only produce in Europe from recycled sterling silver and we make all the packaging ourselves from old art catalogues we thrift, and we offer a lifetime repair policy, so it's actually super sustainable :D and with the code 'CONSULTING=SCAM' you can get 10% off your order :)
