I have some good ex colleagues who moved over there and also looked up on LinkedIn and see lots of seemingly smart and accomplished people in their D&A team in the UK.
I'll ask my ex colleagues too, but wanted to see if people here have any opinion or information on this too.

This is coming from an introvert: If the comment was about being social to build client relationships then he is right. It is a people business.
If the comment was about you skipping team social events and therefore not being part of the team then he is right. It is a people business and the more people know you the more billable you are.
If the comment was about how you spend your weekend then he can do one. None of his business.
Being an introvert in consulting is hard and exhausting but it is what it is unfortunately.

😂 sorry OP. My bad
I would reassure him this is your preference and you have chosen to use your time how you best enjoy it, and are happy for you to do you and he does his thing both without judgement. As a pre-covid expat with a Londoner partner getting this balance of social lives right can be tricky.
If this is the first time he said it I’d give it a pass as worry/ guilt but if he continues to bring it up then is a bigger conversation.
Are you talking about a romantic partner or a work partner? If romantic, I wouldn’t take it personally.
One thing I looked for in a partner was they were independent and had their own group of friends outside of me. On the flip side I would feel guilty if they were at home while I was out with my friends.
I guess worth exploring why this makes you upset.
How you doin’?
No dear. It’s a Joey tribbiani friends how you doin? To hit on you
Yes romantic partner!
