Everything is entry level for you until the 5th year anniversary of your professional working life kicks in.

In 10 years you should be in some sort of managerial position and if you aren’t then find another place to work.

Unless you're looking at smaller companies in which case more or less everyone is senior management. Applying for an entry level position doesn't necessarily mean you'll be in that spot for a long time though since most companies prefer to fill vacancies from within.</p> My finding has been that until you have a job title that says otherwise (e.g., something that has “manager”, “coordinator”, etc. in it) you’re entry level.
