if you become a consultant and you're sufficiently senior you can trade staring at a lovely excel spreadsheet for staring at a lovely deck! The hiring profile for consultants is insecure overachievers. To be successful as a (management/strat) consultant you have to:

At least my perception is that it could be more engaging, varied, create more opportunities for networking, and better apply my skills. So I think I'd be willing, at least for a time. I will say that I find consulting engaging and it's a good fit for me personally. There's always something new to be learned and the content doesn't really get too stale. However, the situations and the politics and the project based processes get stale really fast. Who cares that it's Topic X instead of Topic Y, the process is going to be basically the same to come up with a solution. You're going to have similar objections and overcome them in similar ways. You have to define what engaging means to you in a more concrete way. Networking is fine, you do have a lot of opportunities to network as a consultant, but if you don't network well now you will suck at consulting and you won't network better as a consultant. How's your networking skills? Consultants don't really apply skills unless you want to be a rental body, which just sucks.
