Given the utter lack of context, you're likely looking at a comp range of $50-500k. Hope that helps!

It would be helpful if you provided us with a bit more context about yourself. With 16 YOE, are you more specialized in a certain type of consulting? Industry? What external experiences do you have? What technical skills do you have? Where (industry) in the current world attracts you the most? What type of compensation range would you accept?

Manager grade, 16yoe, recruiters will look at you for a senior BI role, possibly team leaders.
Maybe if you're ready to move away from the tools you could look for head of analytics roles.
Look to local recruiters for market rate pay range info.

16yoe in consulting sounds like you've been institutionalized to the ways of consulting.
Figure out what you want to be outside consulting, build a network in that field with people outside consulting, use your network to get a job.
Industry is going to be different to consulting which you may have to come to terms with. Depending on your exit role will depend on how much your consulting skills will be valued.

Oh my God. How have you even lasted that long?

I would start by asking yourself what you might want to do? Once you figure that out align yourself to that skill set.

With 16 yoe you must be a partner! Why would you want to leave with that kind of comp?

Still a manager

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
