SM is a tough exit. A sizable portion of comparably salaried industry positions are looking for candidates with deep functional expertise, which is often not there in consulting outside of PMO, strat, and some tech roles.

As far as title, it's going to vary substantially from one company to the next since there's no standard crosswalk or even a guarantee that your consulting experience matches up with an industry position with comparable pay.
