In tech companies they play different roles, managers manage people while TL/TLMs are technical experts. Not sure what you mean by more prestigious.

It's not uncommon for ICs to earn more than their immediate managers. But the management track has a much higher ceiling, if you've got the chops for that.

Tech lead is commonly exactly what it is, the technical expert on a product/team. They sometimes report to a manager, pm, or the like. Prestige is all subjective and to one's preference. Sometimes, I find myself wanting to stay technical and go become Principal Engineer at Amazon/Google, other days I want to stop developing full stop haha
Manager in consulting basically translates to a senior developer/ analyst role client side, you're still a technician. If you're lucky you'll manage a team, but you'll still be quite hands on.
Tech lead = a Senior Specialist who manages a team of Specialists.
Analyst / Developer / Specialist - all are synonyms in the Industry.
