You could make a lot more depending on your seniority as a SWE at a tech company. But it's role, company, and skill dependent.
As a former consultant you should deff move out of consulting and get higher comp + RSUs. When I make the switch at 29, I got at 215 TC, plus $35K RSU, which = $250K as a low level manager with less than 10 YOE. I was at 190k at Deloitte, with no stock purchase plan or RSUs. You can definitely make way more especially in the Bay

Comparison is the thief of joy. Or something like that. Get your share of course. But don’t underestimate how difficult it is to switch to an SWE role from consulting. Especially in data engineering.
You're making good money, much more than most people in the USA. You could make more if you worked in faang. But 10 years from now, you could be making more as a partner in big 4 than if you had joined tech now. If you already know partner track isn't for you, exit to tech. If you're set on partner, stay in consulting.
At 34, you’re closer to the average age for director in big4. There’s a material bump in comp to director and more doors open at that level. When you do get there, the question is do you have a realistic shot at partner? If not, you’re probably better off in the long run from a $ perspective moving to industry and letting those RSUs compound.
