I think it depends on the seniors you’re working with. Some are better where they can lead day to day so you can focus ‘being a manager’, meaning higher level conversations, deficiency/issue discussions with the client, spending more time on complex areas, etc. I’ve had mixed experience where a senior was taking care of all requests, giving their input/thoughts into planning, testing approach where we had great discussions but then I worked w seniors who weren’t organized and I had to manage PBC lists or had no senior, working directly w new staff where I was teaching them sampling and it takes away from manager experience. It all depends on the team. I think when we are seniors and staff especially, we don’t give ourselves enough credit but in order for a senior to be a high performer without “killing them selves at work” and working 16 hour days, staff has to take initiative and be proactive, manage themselves efficiently and figure out when they should go to the senior vs directly to the client and the same applies to the senior, making manager’s life easier. To answer your question, I do think it’s gets more interesting.
First year mgr can be an adjustment as you may be assigned more audits, so more juggling but yes; as a manager it's more oversight, review, managing the audit so more interesting
I am already on 4 audits and 3 other consulting/client facing teams as an S2. Telling me that I would be on more is horrifying
More interesting and more challenging but I was new manager on jobs with no one above me but the EL. At times I was convinced the only reason I was not fired was all the other managers had left.
You will act as a senior these days b/c everyone quit, and when you do get to manage a job or a process it will be assigned to a terrible staff and you’ll end up doing the work anyway
Managers at times can be treated as super senior
It’s a double edged sword as far as I’m concerned. You get more involved in really complex issues and stuff, which is interesting, but the administrative tasks you take on as a manager kind of suck. Scheduling in particular is a real bi*ch and my least favorite part of being a manager
