I think you should post this in the consulting bowl too.

I don't have access to that bowl or the very least, I can't find it on search. I was part of it, but lost it at some point.

Yes, my experience is that my consulting gig is great. I make $130k a year in a affordable city at just the age of 23. I like the value-add work I'm doing and learning about. WLB and flexibility is accepted in my group, and it's a nice comfortable WFH job. Definitely glad I didn't settle for being an accountant.

Direct client interaction can be done virtually through meetings.
