No, you’re responsible for a team. It varies from company to company but if you want your team to be successful you’ll have to dedicate time to each one of them individually.

How do you feel about the company overall? If you are fairly happy with what you see, and wanting to move into a leadership position, now would probably be the best time to do that. I think there is the obvious, more responsibility managing people, but outside of that the company is the biggest variable.

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
