YES. She was frequently described by peers as "useless" and was somehow a VP. I started working more closely with other directors and gradually, she didn't even know what I did all day. Establish relationships with other higher ups, especially the ones who know the situation and hopefully you can shift teams or get put on projects your boss isn't leading.

When I was under a Supervisor who was beyond incompetent, I would go straight to my Director for anything (and was honest I wasn't comfortable with feedback I was receiving from the Supervisor). Also made my work very separate by "dividing and conquering" projects. It became clear they didn't know what they were doing and left the agency.

AD gives good advice. We had this problem as well. Once it became v clear how disliked/incompetent they were to THEIR boss, they were fired.

that's great advice, thank you @ AD

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
