Internal Strategy at a client (assuming you’re in Strategy) - similar types of projects, typically better hours, little or no travel... downside is comp scaling is typically flatter and projects can sometimes be more boring (but it’s very case dependent)

LEK doesn't travel?

Build a local client base. I know partners who hardly travel because they were conscious about this and have most of their business local.

You can also go to teams that do Diligence work etc, but that's not really consulting then.
