Senior analyst. Left for a manager gig for industry in nyc. Was making 90k, left for 135. Good bump and promo opp made it feel like it made sense. I’d say wait for an offer that allows for greater WLB, promo opp and good pay. That’s the trifecta that makes the time you spent in consulting worth it.

Didn't take it, but this is one offer I got back in 2016 or so.
At the time, I was a manager in fed consulting making ~$140 base, I think. Offer was for a director level role in a name brand non-tech industry firm, comp was ~$190k base with $20k sign-on and target 20% bonus.
Turned it down because it was for a brand new business unit at that firm, I got serious WTF vibes throughout the interview process, and felt like I would be set up as the scapegoat if it didn't turn out well.

I had some second guessing at the time, but exited the next year to a different industry position. Not nearly as much of a comp bump, but the work has been pretty interesting and WLB has been fantastic so I haven't complained too much.
I took a pay cut twice going from industry to consulting. Came back finally for a 40% bump to make up for it. I’m convinced the perceived higher pay in consulting is a seriously misguided myth. My base, bonus, benefits, WLB have always been better in industry.
Maybe it’s because when you make partner you’re basically a millionaire or soon to be and you can do it in 7-10 years depending on the company?
Senior Analyst making 86.5. Left for an industry role for 100K. No promotions at new company (cough cough Big O). Left that company for 95k and 60k in stock. Now promoted to 106k and another 60k in stock on top of the prior. Which for me is comfortable.
Should you proactively apply for industry or does that make you seem desperate to get out and gets you lower offers?
Chief
Go for it. Nothing wrong with applying to industry--consulting is generally a very transitory career field and most people only stick it out for a few years, with many of those leaving heading to industry.
Now, if you've only been in consulting a few months and are applying for industry roles, HMs might have questions, but beyond that it's completely BAU.
I received a 40% bump and title increase for an industry job.
I always told myself I would be in consulting forever.
