In a process of interviewing for a technical accounting manager job. Hiring manager told me that the position won’t have staff oversight responsibilities. So I feel this is a glorified senior accountant job under a manager title. The raise is decent 20%. Growth opportunity seems to be ok, 2 SM above me, one manager who has more experience, and 2 accountants that the SM oversees. It is technical accounting, so probably doing special projects etc. Should I take the offer?

Man thats a question that only you can answer. If you have a significant other ask them. What are your long term aspirations, do you want to be working on a team and supervising people? What about total compensation? The hours? Company culture? Are you going to be challenged in the new role? Good luck

You need to go back and ask them what your responsibilities will be. I've seen a whole range of responsibilities tech accounting has. Interestingly speaking to people at my clients in tech accounting the biggest downside they see in their role is that its not value add from the perspective of their management. People in gl accounting worked on various projects that were seen as value add (like setting up Ssc for acct in India for the organization, or process improvements to be able to deliver better data faster etc) but tech acct was just acct analysis that noone in the org cared about other than cao
