Do people like working in consulting, and if so, what do you enjoy about it and how long have you been in this field? Consulting is often seen in a negative light, but it would be interesting to hear positive experiences.

What field is not seen in a negative light? Truth is 99% of people hate their jobs and find something to complain about. People in IB complain about the hours, people in a startup might complain about the pay, etc. no job is perfect.

Honestly you are right about that. I find that very few people are actually happy at their jobs. I do know a few people who are content in their jobs but everyone I know says they would rather be doing something else. There are pros and cons to every role depending on who you ask that day.
