Just became a manager and I think I suck at the role. I think the partner hates me because I didn't manage upwards well and I am constantly worried about content :( Feel so helpless

Interviewing for senior audit role at a small tech company, interviewed with 7 people so far. Recruiter ghosts me for 1 month and now she wants me to do more interviews. During the 1 month of ghosting I applied for an internal transfer at EY and have interview next week. If I get the transfer, I’d rather stay at EY - should I decline or accept the tech company’s 8th interview?

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management.
