Transitioning to a consulting firm?

Hi everyone,

I am a financial systems designer/developer and have always worked internally at large corporations. With the certifications, knowledge, and experience I've gained over the last few years, I've caught the attention of consulting firms, such as Deloitte and KPMG to work on their systems implementation side. What finally made me truly think about this was at a conference last week, a consulting firm I worked with in the past was expressing interesting in me joining their team.

So my question is this: for those who have moved from internal corporate jobs to consulting firms (with a lot of travel), how was the transition? Would you recommend it? Any pitfalls or drawbacks I should be aware of?

Thanks for any and all information here...this is just exploratory at this point
