Does fed consulting (big4, MBB) usually have better WLB than general practice does? I have a job I love with a solid 40-45hrs/week, but somewhat underpaid, so just dreaming of other oops in the future (post-MBA).

Understood that pay is slightly lower in fed, but it would still be a whole lot more than what I make now 🙃

Pay is about 75% but so is the work so can't complain.

E.g. 60 hrs for 150k as a senior consultant in commercial becomes 45 hrs and 115k in public sector.

Public sector might have high pressure projects or fires to put out at times but not nearly the grind of commercial.
