You're probably jumping too soon. Not nearly enough info on quals, certs, aspirations, current salary to give any useful guidance.

If you’re still at Consultant, wait until you get promoted to Senior Consultant which shouldn’t be too far away for you.

A lot of companies have pay scales that they have to stick to based on rank and its really hard to make a vertical transition while changing jobs. Also, if you make a lateral transition before getting promoted, you’re going to have to start all over again at the new company in terms of proving your worth, networking, etc before you’ll see a promotion. It’s much easier to get promoted now versus later.
