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.

Trying to transition and looking for a general progression of how you would go from essentially zero to entry level job as quickly as possible?

Currently going through the CS50 course to get a very basic introduction. Trying to avoid going back to school but open to boot camps if the community thinks they're with it.

Thanks in advance!

I applied to the EY UK Elevate program Audit Senior. My application was rejected and immediately I got another email, confirming my application for Audit Senior - UK wide program.
I logged into my portal and saw that for the Audit Senior - UK wide program it was written "Forwarded as Applicant You have been added as an applicant to this requisition."
Has this ever happened with anyone? Is it a good sign?
