I don't understand.
- You must have at least one year of successful work experience in the pay grade below yours
- The pay grade below yours requires you have a PhD
It therefore follows that everyone at your pay grade inevitably must have a PhD, but you state there is no requirement with regard to education. That implies that you could be at your level without a PhD, but then you can't ever fulfill the other requirement of having worked one level lower for at least one year.
I'm understanding this the wrong way or I'm missing something.
I haven't met a single PhD in any company I've worked in; if they work in companies at all. There are only very few in the Netherlands that provide (research) positions at that level.
