Where does the salary ceiling come in for tech consultants that don't want to become managers/lead teams?

If you become an SME or IC you can go to 300+ as a Principal. You don't have to manage if you can solution technical proposals.

You can also transition as a technical SME to FAANG or other big tech.

150-200

I agree with D1, I'm sure there are exceptions to it. But if you don't want to take any type of management/ leadership role. I will say you'll start hitting that ceiling at around 150 in most cases.

150-200 is your ceiling if you don’t want to go into management or a salesy role.

Do you mean as a C&M "technology consultant" (using Accenture terminology) or do you mean as a technical consulting resource?

Well that's flawed.

Solutioning Architects within SI / IO can make much more than 200k without leading anything or anyone other than the solutioning work.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
