I'm a licensed Fire Protection Engineer with about 10 years of experience in consulting. While I've enjoyed the technical side of the work, I'm starting to feel burned out by the nature of consulting.

I'm looking for a more structured, predictable role with a better work-life balance while still using my engineering background.

For anyone who has made the move out of consulting, I'd love to hear:

• What type of role did you move into?
• Are you happier with the change?
• Did you take a pay cut?
• What skills transferred well?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's made a similar transition. Thanks.
