It would be helpful if you listed what type of consulting you do and in what industry

Another Big 4 isn’t going to give you different work/life balance. It’s the same shit with a different color scheme. Look at smaller consulting firms if you want to stay in this line of work but travel a little less (e.g ZS, Slalom). If you don’t want to move and want out of consulting, then ur basically stuck only being able to apply to whatever big name corps are in your city.

More work or more life ;) Heavy Industry was good pay for the effort. Class 1 Rail in the US is pretty fantastic from what I've seen and undergoing lots of change.

Are you in a line of consulting where your skills would transfer to a Managed Service Provider?

Where are you living now?

I make close to what you do now as a senior associate in the DC area. In Federal and work life is pretty good.
