Has anyone ever gone from a client-facing role into an in-house one and felt disappointed and tried to go back to a client-facing role?

I'm a new mom at one of the big 4 and really unhappy with the new responsibilities I have in my internal position even though I'm happy I have better work-life balance. I'm trying to figure out whether there are better internal roles for me or whether this is just the trade-off I have to make. Anyone else been in this situation?

I've not been in this situation at a BIg4 but within a corporate and think that it may not be that different even though it wasn't consulting. In my case, I actually went to the head of the group I wanted to work in and made a pitch for myself to join his group....it didn't work out in the end but I applied for another role that was a better fit for the type of work I wanted to do. Personally, I wouldn't give up on getting the work you want -- work/life balance matters but you still have to spend most of your waking hours at work so it matters whether you feel fulfilled while you'er there.
