The big difference between consulting and in-company roles for me is that if I have to deal with a stakeholder being foolish I'm aware they're gitting billed directly for the time I'm spending dealing with it. This isn't connected to how much -I- make each month either, it's a primarily psychological difference. Agree absolutely that ending up with a dominant customer can make you effectively in-company in terms of your incentives, though, and isn't the experience I want out of my work.
