Probably Manager / SM Level, exit as Head of / Director in industry, making good money with much better work life balance.

I actually plan on leaving as soon as I hit SM, it seems to be the toughest grade to be at in consulting.

Tech implementation and strategy. But yea - already in “tech” too. N was part of various “big vendor” alliances

I have received an offer from PA Consulting , which I think will speed up my development by around 2 years, compared to staying where I am. (More diverse role, exposure, not just focused on one platform/product for which I currently am). In addition, the offer is also a large increase in package. I have only been at my current company for 6 months, however I would like to take the offer, how do I approach this?
