Hate auditing and surprisingly got promoted to senior. Should I quit after the bonus payout or try to stay one more busy season?

All depends though on how bad you hate work. If you generally dislike it but can tolerate it then stay. The experience these next few years will be worth it in the long run. If you absolutely cannot stand work and it's impairing your mental health then leave.

I've been following manager 1's point of view of sticking it out as long as I can, and before I knew it i had 6 busy seasons behind me. I finally made the decision to leave when I realized work was causing my personality to change and I was grumpy all the time.

Senior life doesn't get any better, now you're just leading a team to do work you hate and fixing up others' work. If you hate auditing do you even want to go into one of the usual post-audit paths? If no, just leave.

One more busy season can really help out your exit ops. Right now you're a 2 years experience and exit ops aren't that great. If you stick out one year at senior, it's possible to jump to exit ops in the experienced senior range. Can probably land a job that requires 4 years experience, depending on what technical areas you hit this year. My advice would be stick it out as long as you can. There's still probably good stuff you can learn these next few years. Technical areas and SEC reporting items. You're learning curve will be much greater in public these years than in industry.
