I dislike my role as director and I'm not clear if it's the company or if it would be the same elsewhere, or if I'm just under-paid.

I'm at a mid-level company that brings in around 400mil in revenue. The company itself is not strictly a software company but they position themselves as interested in providing technical solutions to business customers. The domains really runs the Gambit. There are hundreds of engineers all doing different things depending on the business line.

In one business line I was promoted to Director, reporting to the VP of engineering. I was promoted about a year ago after 6 years as a manager, and 5 years before that in the contributor role.

I oversee about 60 engineers, which are a mix between on shore and off shore (the off shore devs report up to a different off shore director, but they function within my teams for sprint rituals and contributions). Devs are split into 8 teams and theoretically, they each would have a single manager, but instead I have 4 managers who've all been with the company less than a year. So each manager is functioning almost as what I would describe as a senior manager, and maybe they're not at that level yet (they were all hired as managers, not sr).

I feel like things can't be delegated super well yet.

I grew into my role due to rapid growth and I feel like EVERYONE in my org is having to learn and I'm struggling to develop a uniform standard across all teams.

The product team has also gone through a lot of growth so I frequently face product owners that don't know how to do their role either and we constantly face issues trying to come to an understanding of basic things like SCRUM responsibilities.

The green field app has a lot of investment but also seems to be being defined (in terms of business value) as we're building it, so everything just feels a little unorganized there as well.

I'm constantly feeling pressure to do too much. My calendar is busted with over conflicting meetings and basic things like training, targets, and administrata gets left behind, because I try to log off at 5 and be with my family. I still end up glued to my phone at odd hours and not really taking "time off" when on vacation, answering emails and chats.

Since I've grown with the company I make about as much as my managers. 175k.

Obviously I'm under paid, but I can't tell if when making a move I should be looking at other director positions. Or if I should continue to develop as a manager. Would a director position elsewhere be a better opportunity to come in as an outsider and help everyone get organized (with more pay)? Or does this sound pretty typical and these are just the stresses of the job?
