Who in this bowl has exited consulting into a Director versus stayed? Why or why not?

I'll go first... Left for a salary bump and ability to run a division under an aggressive ceo who I felt I could learn from. Have since realized that lifestlye is more important than advancement, and moved to a hardware company. Still in a director position, making more than I did before though with my nights and weekends mostly dedicated to family.

I went from a director position in industry to a director position in consulting. I guess I went the wrong way?

Newly diagnosed & medicated and new to consulting.
I’m great with clients but getting bad evaluations because I’m slow to produce work and don’t take time to communicate status.
I’m trying really hard but I keep getting stuck in perfection loops and scared to share things before they’re perfect.

Did you struggle with this & find a way to improve? I’m terrified I’m going to get counseled out, but I love this job so much.
