Consulting is a professional service where experts, known as consultants, provide advice, guidance, and solutions to organizations or individuals to help them solve problems, improve performance, or achieve specific goals. Consultants leverage their expertise in a particular area, such as strategy, operations, technology, finance, or marketing, to offer insights and recommendations tailored to their clients' needs.

Generally, consultants are specialized in a specific field. Companies will normally have specific issues in whichever division of their organization and will contract consultants accordingly; for example, a company that aims to upstart their marketing initiatives will hire marketing consultants - people who’ve worked in the field, knows the ins and outs, and can offer not only solutions backed up by data and research, but tried and true methods that are intuitive and have worked for other marketing efforts. Tech consulting is simply that; consulting that’s aimed in the technology sector - software, data analysis, business intelligence, SEO, etc.

This is an important question to ask when choosing a consulting organization to join. Primarily, we aim to blend technology and traditional business into our work; evident from our portfolio, we’ve had projects that are strictly software engineering to hackathon hosting to marketing to product launch.

Here at UpSync, we also very much value the unique perspectives that any student can bring to the table - and as such, we have a very diverse blend of majors that are not stereotypically seen in most other consulting organizations, ranging from computer science & data science, to economics, business and psychology.

We also value our community; our philosophy is that most students who’ve come to Cal are capable for any work that the world can throw at them - we think that being able to have fun doing the work that you’re doing, as well as a passion for it, is just as important as the work itself. Moreover, we pride ourselves in fostering a very warm and tight-knit community that you can go to for anything; whether that be debating on what classes you should take, finding a group to get lunch with on Friday, or having a fun time doing whatever else it may be!
