Consulting Overview

Hi, 

I am kinda new to the consulting world, and I am applying to places that do both Strategy and Management consulting. Could anyone give me insight on the difference between the 2 areas like Comp, hours, WLB, Type of work, as well as like can you switch in between the two? Which is more favorable? Just like a general overview. Thanks
