SM runs more complex and larger jobs. They usually have managers under them to run the day to day and supervise the team, and they act more as the client lead or partner depending on the client. At our firm to be a SM you have to run an initiative outside of serving clients, be technically proficient in your field of expertise and be able to run the job without much partner involvement.

Love the answer above. The way I see it, managers deal more with employees while sr managers deal more with big projects and problems. Kind of an internal matters vs external matters deal.

Hi! Senior managers oversee larger groups of employees than managers. Managers on the other hand generally deal with and oversee employees of one specific department at a company. Senior managers oversee more employees that may be in multiple departments. Hope this helps.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
