Not enough work of the kind you want or enough commercial/relationship legs to have a successful career (probably biggest reason at mid/senior levels), culture, one off event that ruined the situation at the firm.

Most people who are CTLed tend to really soul search and move on from consulting, but a few bounce around firms to try another environment because they do like the work and believe the environment was detrimental or their unique situation was set up for failure.

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.
