It depends.

DS is oversaturated, especially at the entry level, so you have a lot of poorly paid jobs at the lower end. It's also very poorly defined so you might end up in a job that doesn't help you develop marketable skills. Conversely, PM is fairly well understood.

Stress is a very personal factor. DS often face a lot of ambiguity, which can be stressful. On the other hand, you're generally not accountable for other people's work.

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
