How did you make the jump to manager?

Currently a Senior (L5) with 8 years of experience and looking to change companies in the next six months.

Already getting some interviews for the staff level but I'm keen on switching to the manager track sooner but don't have people management experience beyond mentoring junior ICs and having interns.

Is my best bet taking a staff role at a smaller company and trying to make the switch internally when the opportunity presents?
