Unless you are a partner or a really good director, you are overestimating your importance to the project - like a true consultant. I'd recommend taking the offer after you take your head out of your ass.

P3 completely agree. You're less important than the team makes you seem. I don't mean that in a "you're not valuable" way, but the consulting environment makes us feel less replaceable than we really are.

You aren't the first person to leave consulting. Give notice and go.

The right way. If they wanted to let me go they wouldn't bat an eye but now I'm like ok... gotta think through this - either way I'll burn bridges but I want to do it the right way and have class. Any feedback appreciated. I know I don't want to be here but really trying to do right by my team cause my departure will be a blow and might look bad..

Give more than 2 weeks notice if possible and look for suitable replacements. Given the circumstances your team will understand and trying doing right by your current team is shows good character. Unless the new company has an urgent need they'll probably take that as a good sign. I had a team mate leave. We had a roll off party for them.

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything. We miss client deadlines frequently because deliverables are backlogged under their review, they make comments on things they weren’t in client discussions about, and won’t listen when told client wanted it X way. I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
