Not as much of a difference when compared to audit. From my experience managers just deal a lot more with clients and have more deals than SA

Senior in FDD is more similar to an associate anywhere else. Still completely doing all the grunt work. Bottom of the barrel. You’re managing virtually no one on an engagement. On most engagements. You’ll be the lowest rank. Manager - you probably have one senior to manage on each engagement at least

We manage the offshore team xD
