Senior Managers at most of my clients have been Big4 SC/early M equivalents in my opinion

I made the jump from associate to manager so I don’t see why not.

Look at the scope for the role and decide where the gaps are. Have worked with client SMs that were sub-M and also client SMs that were closer to director responsibilities. Depends a lot on the org and specific role vs. general titles.

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate.

I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?
