If I exit at consultant level and am willing to take a pay cut (let’s say base salary as low as $100k), what is the cushiest job I can aim for in terms of low-stress, good hours, and job security? Within CA, if that makes a difference.

Probably government work. Find some back office job that has a clear hours schedule from like 8:30-4:30 every day and just do the bare minimum.

Federal or state government. Can't speak for state government, but feds jobs in most metro areas in CA will hit that $ amount pretty low on the totem pole.
