Moved to an end user as I thought my work life balance would improve dramatically. Had two other offers with large consulting firms for 50-60k more. We have consultants that are working for us but they are lazy and have no sense of urgency. I definitely work harder than they do but it should be reversed…… no pt to this post. Just venting,

I have definitely struggled working on the end user side vs. consulting in ways I didn't expect. I have to spend a lot of time getting buy-in from people who don't care for stuff that is ultimately for them, and then something happens and it's suddenly an emergency. And working to get design consensus from other tech teams who are empire building and want to poach projects for "their thing". But the most constant, users escalating bugs that only impact them to a VP level, who then starts bugging our VP constantly and going higher if they don't jump to solve.

Part of this is our uniquely bad culture. But I do miss the simplicity of plugging in to a project with a SOW where the stakeholders are clear, and they've cleared the deck to work with you to accelerate progress because it's strategically important at a much higher level of the organization.
