I’m primarily self employed. As such it is hard to fit in a box.
On the aggregate I’m far happier, have more money, and am less dissatisfied with my job by a tremendous margin.
With that though, I carry a lot of stress. A LOT. I also absolutely ****ing despise when employees insert their heads into their rectums which I didn’t carry as an employee as I wasn’t directly responsible for their output.
I also work a shitload of hours and don’t get to do a lot of the stuff I like to do.
I also carry a lot more financial risk that I’m acutely aware of and have risk exposures all over the place that I can’t afford to mitigate.

It would be supervising three women in my office who absolutely despise me, as well as the other 4 employees in our office. I would also be going from hourly to salary....so I'd lose out on any overtime that I worked. If it's the same as last time....the salary bump only works out to like $6-$7 extra per hour.
I've got three weeks to decide if I want to apply for it.

Do it. $7 over 2000 hours is 14 grand. I’ve put up with a lot of shot for a lot less.
Besides that if you move up and hate it, you may be able to continue to move up from your position.
