But for reals, start honing leadership skills and building a team around you. You're only as good as the people working with you. Start looking for sponsorship to get you ready for SM. And remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Congrats - communication is key. Before, managers worked with you based on your style. Now it's your turn to learn that skill

You need to figure out what you need to start doing and what you are going to stop doing.

Need to relearn time management. Took me a full year to learn how to delegate. Workload doubles, stress triples, you will no longer question what the hell your Sr Mgr does all day

Thanks everyone for the tips!

I feel a little crazy saying this, but more money at this point doesn’t resonate. I see a ton of exit planning and boomerang threads here, but I’d take a 50% pay cut (or a 50% raise) for an exciting role. That’s totally privilege talking, but I just can’t imagine chasing extra money in PE or lateraling just for the money. No virtue signaling here at all. I actually worry on some level that I’m somehow a moron for not giving a thought to maximizing earnings.
