One thing I will say is that be prepared for the challenges of not being micromanaged anymore. I got micromanaged extensively and hated it but change jobs and had a really difficult time exercising Independence because that's something that would have got me fired in my previous job. So going to a new job with eyes open and being willing to exercise more Independence than you're comfortable with. Or maybe take baby steps and don't move into a high responsibility role but moving to a lower role and feel it out.

I’ve moved for greener grass several times for this reason… and it’s not greener.
Just do as much investigation as you can before deciding on a new place to land — good luck.
I spoke to HR, and magically my boss stopped being a micromanager. He did completely gaslight by saying that he never asked me to do x, y, z, but at least very minimal micromanaging now.

I left my last job bc new DGC was a nightmare micromanager.
How is it now?

do you disagree with the way you’re being micromanaged? if they have good judgment but are just too hands on you can try to manage this by proactively saying what you’re doing at the level of detail they manage you at, then you are setting your course but you are helping manage their anxiety or whatever is driving them
