Yes it is.
Put aside the great WLB, the perks, the RSUs. I work with people who are legitimately trying to invent the future. No way I can go back to writing some operating model for a nondescript company / become a supply chain officer who sources napkins.
Inventing the future is mostly hyperbole. Realistically, a 100,000 person company has most people navigating or administering the bureaucracy, or doing routine jobs, not truly inventing the future. Microsoft and Apple have sizable supply chain needs, and any tech firm has tons of people in sales or marketing.
However, compared to consulting, you have a higher chance of inventing the future in tech, or at least being closer to it. An ex consultant won't be researching quantum computing at google, but they might be gathering statuses and updating senior management on the research effort. That could count as inventing the future, especially vs status updates on an ERP migration for a random F500 company. Doesn't count for me, but whatever floats your boat....

In non-tech old companies, you become a director make 200k, sr director 250k, vp 300k. Maybe they toss a bone of 20k in stocks and some bonus if your lucky. Your only exit opps are your competitors. The office coffee is rancid. Some of your colleagues are republicans and go to church.
In tech, even L5 analysts/associates and L4 PMs at Google are making 250, Amazon PM/program manager 230+, etc. etc. become actual manager/sr manager level your looking at 300-400, director close to 500. Some companies pay even more than FAANG…as an sr. IC pm you can get 500+. And your exit opps are bountiful, cool, and exciting. You can live in cool (albeit expensive) cities or even now choose to work remote. They give you a MacBook and free dog walking credits. The office coffee is the good stuff (Philz, blue bottle, Peet’s) and there’s nitro cold brew on tap. Everyone is woke (well maybe not those James damore types but they get fired) and you can be he/she.

Pre-pandemic, our CEO used to work out with his personal trainer across the street from our office, gym space floor to ceiling windows so everyone could see.

Before you jump to tech - make sure you pick the right portion of the value chain.
Not all tech companies are growing at the same pace nor are the opportunities as good.
Btw...money....for top people is great. Granted being a top performer at google is hard
That twilio 🔥 🔥

It’s all about the RSUs.
Although I do wonder how much those Danaher hires are making now…

Glassdoor seems to say 400-500
What kind of TC should someone at the manager level at a consulting firm look for when exiting to tech? FAANG vs. non-FAANG (Cisco, VMWare, Oracle, PayPal, Okta, Dell, etc.)?

@k2. I spend my free time focused in tech or on business skills that will help me run my projects better. That equates to about 5-10 hours per week
I attend a few technical conferences a year and figure out how to apply the solutions to my clients issues
Role wise....I am the lead architect for a tech niche area (ie data, security, ai, etc). I am on huge accounts
