I agree with you and this fits enough people. Many (myself included) thrive off constant action and change, steep risk and learning curves.

I started in management consulting - and even after doing startups for years - find startups too mind-numbingly boring. (But that may be me) If I'm on an internal teams - I have to work on many things at once to keep sane.

For me, management consulting (using my CompSci as a starting point) it gave me skillsets others don't replicate easily.
