Is it worth considering a career in Restructuring Consulting in the long term given that their work can be quite cyclical and hinges on the spectrum of the economy.
Or have I misunderstood this? Are the teams always busy with projects?

Businesses are always divesting/reorganizing/rebranding/etc..
Think Fox selling off 20th Century Fox, Blackberry selling hardware IP and focusing on software, etc..
Think retail companies selling off brick-and-motor shops and shifting more towards e-commerce, oil and gas -> renewable energy, etc..

COVID just necessitated and/or accelerated the need for restructuring services for a ton of industries all at once if they wanted to stay afloat.

The team at my firm is quite small but they travel a lot. Perhaps they keep busy by covering a large market?

That makes sense. I’m actively considering this option so thanks for shedding some light on this.

I’ve been in community corrections for almost two years. I love what I do in case management, for inmates working on reentry but I would like to explore other job roles and start making a better income. I’m really interested in tech and project management roles. I just do not know where to start far as getting my foot in the door with either industry. I have a BA criminology, I adjust to quick changes, I thrive in fast paced environments and I learn quick. I have a great work ethic.
