Less tedious, but more stressful as you’re the last line of defense and no safety net, if you mess up it falls on you. But that’s what the money is for.

Harder for me. Sure my chargeable hours are a little lower but there is significantly more admin/business development time. I have more flexibility generally but end up working nights and weekends way more than you think. Harder to take extended vacations and I don't think I've been caught up in years.

The pay is nice though.

Just different. Things that used to be new and interesting are tedious, things that used to be tedious are now on someone else’s plate. Not having to clear review notes is the greatest thing ever though.

I got to do that as a manager lol. But manager is a terrible position, worst in public accounting in my opinion. You leave points for staff and then get more from SM/Partner and have to tell the staff you missed it too or do the changes yourself. I always found that tough to balance.

Far less tedious work and can be easier or harder, depending on the team you’ve built around you. Generally more stressful overall in my experience.
