Is the director older or older?

In some cases, the director and the section chief may have the same rank, but in other cases, the director may be older than the section chief.

Section chief usually refers to the supervisor of a certain part of a department, such as the maintenance section chief. The director is usually the main person in charge of an organization or department, and bears greater management and leadership responsibilities.

So in some cases, the director may be bigger than the section chief because of his higher responsibility and status. But in other cases, because the section chief is the head of a certain department or part, he may have the same level and responsibilities as the director.

Generally speaking, when comparing the rank and status of directors and section chiefs, we need to consider the specific situation and responsibilities of their organizations or departments.
