How does one most effectively make the transition into management from an Individual Contributor?

I've been an individual contributor for 4 years in Tech, have 8 years of experience total. I'm finding it difficult to make the management transition despite having management experience, performing beyond expectations, and having a genuine passion for enablement and development.

I'd appreciate any success stories or pointers you can offer in regards to this transition.

I'm up for promotion to M1 this summer. But I honestly cant stand the thought of one more busy season, and am fairly confident I can land a job in private industry in the next month. Am I crazy to leave as a S3, 6 months short of a promotion to M1, for a job as a senior accountant in private industry? Or should I try to stick it out to M1 and then bounce for an accounting manager position?

Additional Posts in EAs / Executive Assistants

Why am I not getting interviews? I have 13+ YOE supporting three executives simultaneously. I feel good about my resume reflecting my experience/skills, I also tailor my resume to each job posting. I’ve been looking for work since April and I’ve gotten maybe three recruiter calls and that’s it. Im trying not to tell myself I should just apply to any and everything (admin asst jobs, customer service jobs) but I’m getting desperate. My biggest regret is staying at my last job for so damn long.
