Differences between architect in pwc consulting versus pwc ifs ? (Except traveling)

Assuming we’re talking about something like cloud, network, security etc., architect, the IFS (Internal Firm Services) roles will design/build systems for internal use rather than clients. Most of these will be WFH roles even post-pandemic, whereas consulting roles are likely to require more client face time.

No differences in benefits between internal and client facing roles. Comp should be aligned to market rates for the skillset at your location.

Career progression for internal roles will often be slower at Big 4 vs. external revenue generating roles - the roles are analogous to taking an industry role - so I typically suggest folks concerned about this start in client service then transfer over later after getting a higher rank & salary which you can normally maintain with an internal transfer over so long as it’s a similar skillset. If you want to go from a cloud implementation manager to an HR associate, obviously you’d take a big hit in pay.
