A new Sr. Manager recently joined my team, and for whatever reason thinks that my initiative (where I am the official lead), wants me to check in with her constantly about it, as she thinks it’s part of her overarching role.

How can I as a Senior Consultant communicate that I don’t report to her, without souring the relationship?

You could ask her or your Partner/Director if she is part of the engagement now ?

Yup exactly this. Ask the overall engagement lead what the expectation is. I've had the same situation and the partner took care of things and spoke to the SM.

I'd clarify with your manager who is tasked with what, and whether this new manager is correct or incorrect in her assumption. Doing so will raise the red flag if she's not, but not look as if you're being territorial.

Obviously way more than I'd make if I stayed at KPMG for busy season.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

So I recently accepted a 12 month contract-hire position at a much larger company. Pay is more than 50% of my salary, and benefits/401k is covered by the recruiting agency. I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself. Thoughts? Advice?

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
