Is returning back to industry (in this case, engineering) a good exit ops for consulting? I’ve heard some cases of people getting a paycut when they get into engineering firms

What kind of engineering? Tech/swe should not result in a pay cut. Industrials probably wouldn't pay as much.

Definitely would be helpful, but if you’re rather junior (less than 6 yoe), it’s not hard to break into these groups without prior experience. You just have to highlight how your project experience can help.

what do you talk about in your 1:1s?

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.
