Typical Day-to-Day Role of 1st Line Managers and Directors (in Corporate environment)

egrizzly

heh guys,

So I've been inching towards cyber management lately.  Question for those of you who have gone from the Analyst levels into the management ranks:

1.) What is the nature of the first line team manager compared to analysts? Is it more difficult, etc, or the same level?
2.) For those that have become a Director, how do the duties compare to that of an analyst or first-line manager?  Also where you required to have a specific level of education to get this promotion?

Thanks in advance all for the inputs, suggestions, tips, etc.
