Personally opting for product work now, but definitely get why a lot of people go into consulting and stay. The draws I see are variety, that rush from picking up all the low hanging fruit you mentioned, and the culture of self-reflection on a personal rather than just project level. It's one of the few fields that offers breadth over depth, and some find that very appealing. Plus the pay and prestige are high enough (vs the general public), if not at tech industry level.
Eh. At entry level, consulting pays less but it offers greater upside if you stay for 10+ years. Partners rake in millions while FAANG folks will be around $500k.
Working for one company exposes you to one tech stack. As a consultant I have experience with a lot of different tools and stacks because I've worked with a lot of different companies. This broadly seems more valuable and gives you a more nuanced perspective than just "whatever FAANG is using is the best in breed". Variety is also just interesting.
As a consultant, my job gets easier over time as I learn what companies need. As a technologist, you constantly need to be learning new languages, software, and processes- otherwise you'll fall behind and become outdated quickly. That grind isn't for everyone.
What about scale? As a consultant do you get to work on that?
Not everyone has the skills for FAANG.
