So what do we do now vs. So what are we going to do now?

[Torsten]

So when we use the following two phrases:

"So what do we do now?" and
"So what are we going to do now?"

What is the difference between them?

Thanks,
Torsten

TOEIC listening, question-response: Why don't we consider changing vendors?

Hi Torsten,

I would suggest that there is an immediacy about 'So what do we do now?' 'So what are we going to do now?' suggests soon or in the future.
