Learn English – difference between “assistant manager” and “manager assistant”

differencesword-choice

Would a switch of the word 'assistant' and 'manager' cause differences in a universal corporate context?

In my opinion, assistant manager is just a rank below a manager. This seems to apply to manager assistant.

I'm of the opinion that assistant manager is a level below a manager, whereas a manager assistant is an assistant to the manager, and not necessarily just below in level to the manager. Manager assistant seems to be more close to secretary in rank.
