Because managers have never done a month end let alone managed one.

Better pay, better hours, more interesting work. Company may have lower titles than PA but the pay and work make up for it.

Because the hierarchy is different from company to company. It’s not really about title but more about the job responsibilities. Like AA1 said, an audit manager wouldn’t have the experience in preparing financials or doing anything from scratch.

Agreed. Titles are different. I’m sure the pay is still better.

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments
