I'm considering an internal finance opportunity but have concerns about the role's lack of direct reports. After two years managing six direct reports in a Fortune 100 audit function, I'm hesitant to step back after 11 years in my career, a few which I was a manager at B4. I'm also concerned that declining the role might limit future opportunities. I’d appreciate advice on evaluating or potentially declining the position in light of my career trajectory and leadership goals.

It depends. If the pay is good, maybe it’s not the biggest deal that you won’t have any direct reports and have to do all the dirty work yourself. If the pay isn’t a significant increase/better WLB, then I’d say pass on the opportunity for the points you mentioned above.

Does promotion happen while you're on bench in IT companies?
Hi All, I've completed two years in my current company and I was recently released from my project and my manager is trying to assign me to a new project hopefully.
My question is, will my promotion happen as I was eligible for the same and I was released to the bench as I'll be moving on to another project soon. Can someone enlighten me on this?

Is it worth it to drive to Michigan to get it taken care of there?
