I would look for a job, org, team that I really like and make sure I can get the pay to where I *need* -- if that's a pay cut that's fine, if there's room for more great.
But it's not a matter of adjusting expectations from consulting -- it's a matter of figuring out what you want. Consulting pays a lot because it sucks and destroys your body and mind -- if you're looking at other jobs that suck and destroy, then yes optimize for pay. But when you're in the big world of "work" reframe it from "leaving consulting" to "what do I want to work on and with whom"
