Tech is obviously one of the answers. It has gotten a bit more heavier these days, but not even close to requiring consulting level commitment. You can actually exceed consulting comp, at non partner levels.

Problem is that it has become hyper competitive and tech industry has tightened its purses a bit when it comes to hiring. So it will requires good amount of effort to get interviews , but those roles do exist. It helps immensely if you have tech skillset

Absolutely agree with above posts. Went from Big 4 strategy consulting with 0 tech experience to an international SaaS company, corporate strategy role. Overall comp even went up slightly because bonus amounts are less subjective/volatile compared to consulting.

Much much slower pace, some days I don’t even do anything lol. But I do have mandatory WFO 3 days a week, in consulting I didn’t have to go in unless I had a big team meeting or a client workshop.

Correction, she did get a higher rate but it’s less flexible and hybrid now vs remote before

I don’t know of anyone who’s taken a pay cut from consulting for a 9-5 gig.

Really? It’s quite common.

Yes I work less now and make more

Pay cut but 3 hr days
