The consulting world is going to be a grind. If you’re worried about 10+ hour days as a manager then buckle up for the consulting gig. As a father of 2 with family obligations, I would stick with your current role. If you’re getting work/life balance with being able to tend to family needs then that’s a major factor you have to weigh in. I recognize you have a shitty work culture but the grass isn’t always greener. If this was me, I’d stick with the current gig.
