Folks have any opinions on moving to a client strategist role with Gartner? Seems like decent WLB and pay compared to advisory consulting.

Decent WLB sounds right. Downsides: Exit options and future pay trajectory (over 2 to 5 yrs) are not as good as staying in consulting. If you're an SM or Partner and they're paying you to move over to sell work or be a relatively senior leader, it could be a good move. If you're relatively junior and looking at a 10-20k pay bump and 10 fewer hours per week, it isn't worth it.
