Not really, it just depends on where you've worked in the past. If you came up under a decent management structure, you've had it easy. If you didn't, you get all the BS in addition to trying to solve potentially complex tasks.

I've had 1 good manager who I was too inexperienced to appreciate. Beyond that, the better managers I've had was too soft that the other departments were able to play politics with or hijack their staff and the worst did their best to keep you ultra stressed 24/7 because they thought you'd deliver more work that way.

We've all came up in different ways, unless you've had multiple lifes experiences, it's really hard to decide that's the way it is for everyone.
