It's not better in consultancy, actually. I know a few good people who couldn't find work in any other companies in their field, and consultancy firms pay well but overwork their employees to the bone.
None of them could last more than a few months before deciding they'd had enough of companies and their illogical corporate strategies. Especially when it comes to companies that don't want to change their carbon footprint.
Honestly I can understand their rage. Seeing people who think they're right and refuse to change pains me too
