Making the leap from hourly to salary.

Hey y'all. 12 years of experience and I've turned down management offers for years. I'm at the point where I'm ready for the larger check and the headaches that come with it. I still enjoy being in the kitchen and figured if I'm gonna spend the majority of my time coming behind people and fixing mistakes I might as well get compensated for it.

Now the question i have for y'all is; what advice do you have for a dude who's making that transition for the first time, which job offers to turn down, what red flags should I keep an eye out for etc. I am grateful to any advice you all have for me, thanks and go cook some shit.

(I suppose I should add that i have 3 years management experience but I have always turned down salary)
