Using de vs en

One of the questions for this section was

Yo soy directora en una empresa. (I am a company manager).

Wouldn't it be better to say

Yo soy directora de una empresa. ?

Hola Missy

Both prepositions would be correct.

Maybe a more literal translation in English for "soy directora en una empresa" would be "I am a manager in a company", but this really means the same as I am a company manager, which sounds more natural.

Saludos
