If you are young, single with no ties and on a good rate (see previous posts concerning overtime), or late career and being ridiculously overpaid for "gravitas", I would say go for it.
IMO it's more satisfying to be client-side on multi-vendor teams opposing the consultancies / "keeping them honest".

I was with Deloitte, outside, very good rates. But they expected me to attend Agile standup once in the morning and once in the evening. Right from day one declined evening 'standups'. Walked away giving 10 minutes notice within 3 months. There's no culture, team work etc. You will be just a resource, a number that's all.
