The problem with being a manager isn't necessarily the total workload.

38 hours sounds great until you figure out that those 38 hours can happen at any time of the day. A busy season day might mean I am doing nothing from 9AM to 5PM... and then the staff submits something to me that needs to be reviewed by the next day. Guess who is pulling an all nighter?

Additionally, there are client asks early in the morning if you are on the west coast or later in the evening if you are on the east coast.

Mandatory admin is at least 25% of my day. There is always some training, billing, planning, coaching, etc that I am responsible for. So that a minimum 50 hour week, with only 38 billable.

I’m not sure what there is to gain but wanted to get other points of view.
