As a professional who switched from Consulting to industry, my advice would be to make the switch at the highest position possible in Consulting. So if you are one year or so away from SM, it is worth it. At SM level (or close to), one garners client management and demand generation skills, which is useful in the industry. That said, industry roles are a different ballgame. I took a pay cut & joined industry at a Director level (mainly because I was switching from IT to Supply Chain and I wanted hands-on SC transformation experience). But I do know people who switched to Sr Director levels from SM consulting levels with equivalent pay. It’s how to position yourself with the right company/role and your negotiating prowess.
