You could get hired as a Manager at Accenture in a group that does big multi-year projects with teams of 60+ consultants and just vibe. You could probably just get by setting your status to Busy and sending a couple emails a day.

Probably not. The firms expect a certain amount of turnover and it sounds like you’re looking to park it for a while. Not exactly a target since you’ll still likely be more expensive. You’d be better off coasting as a manager - it’s definitely possible. At least as a manager you have someone to delegate to.
