From my experience in management consulting, it’s more industry related than rate related.
Clients in finance tend to be assholes even when you are cheap. The field just tolerates it.
Similarly, industrial customers are used to be put under a lot of pressure regarding costs and delays and will treat you as they are used to be treated.
Here is my trick: if you want to work in a nice environment, choose a job in an environment known to be nice.
