Any tips on how to stay above water as a new manager in public accounting? Soon I’m Starting new firm as a tax manager. I’m going from being a heavy senior with an acting manager role on most engagements and i have 9 years of experience so i’m not completely green. I’m just trying to start this role off on the right foot - like not getting too bogged down in the details, delegating effectively, setting up high performing teams, etc

Need advice.
I am currently working at a prod based company as a QA Engineer in a maintenance project. I joined 7 months back. They offerred me an SDET+DevOps role. And all this while I was mostly working on manual. There is no scope and value to automation in this project.

I have an offer from a service based company with 25% hike from my current ctc. They have offered a API automation project.

Is it wise to leave now or should I wait for an year?
