If it’s exciting take it.
I’d get out of consulting and move from there
Business Development / Sales is challenging. It takes a lot of grit and hustle and is highly competitive- however very financially lucrative if you meet and exceed your targets.

You already know you don’t enjoy consulting anymore. Might as well leave if you have another offer.
Thanks. Writing this helped clarify my thoughts. I’m really tired of consulting and feel unmotivated, even starting to become indifferent to my performance. I need a change.
That said, I still have doubts if this is the right next step or if I should wait for another opportunity (my main scare is the lack of business people that can help me develop...), but this tough market make me afraid I might be stuck as a consultant longer than I mentally can handle...
Go for it. You’re unhappy, it’s an offer you were excited about and you don’t know when the next one will appear.
Also, stay close to the $ and client. BD does that.
What does this mean really?
Update:
They just got a new role opening up as "Strategy Manager", this role will focus more on topics close to market expansion, e.g., market analysis, competitive intelligence, customer insights. I can choose role according to them (same package though). Believe Business Development role would be closely aligned with this but more focus on internal projects and execution and more focus on the product itself.
I believe the roles will be somewhat similar in the end and come down to own preference (they are a large company but not that large (2-4k employees)...); but what title looks best on the CV?
Personally I'm more drawn to the Strategy Manager role, sounds cooler (and more in the direction I want to go after being a consultant more focused on longer implementation projects when I should have been focused more on strategic). Also, it feels that this role has more touchpoints with leadership.
But what title looks stronger on CV if I want to switch jobs in 2-3 years? (not my plan but just wondering)
