Sounds about right. Masters isn’t treated differently than a BA/BS

When I was interviewing with them, as I understood from the managers interviewing me- unless your masters is an MBA and your past experience is directly in consulting, you’ll likely be brought in at an associate level.

I recently accepted a job that I quite overqualified for because I’m in need of a job. I got hired as a Marketing Manager and work directly with the Marketing Director. Come to find out my director is still in school and has absolutely no marketing experience. She’s been with the company for 4 months. They seem to want to utilize my complete skills set and make up for her lack of marketing knowledge but maintain her position as director and pay me a entry level marketing manager salary. Advice?
