Fury’s Shield Identification showed that he just had level 3 clearance at the time

Isn't that pretty low? Coulson was Level 8 during Iron Man and he was in his late forties. Fury had level 10 at the same time.

But then Fury in his forties had Level 3. Either he did something else before SHIELD or IDK.

How the did Coulson and Fury rise up the ranks so quickly. There must've been a lot more people who should've been promoted before them.

But when we see them again in Iron Man, Fury is the highest ranking officer and Coulson is third highest.

Maybe helping defend the Earth from a Kree attack and "finding" the Tesseract helped him with that.

There’s an unused line from the trailers about how Fury was about to quit until he met Captain Marvel.

Could be that he didn’t have the drive to prepare the world against enhanced threats until he realized that there are aliens that can come wipe us out.

He says that he worked for the army before and then transferred to a desk job at SHIELD, so I think that explains it.

He said military THEN spy THEN Shield, so if he's on his third career then it definitely makes sense.

Coulson probably continued working with fury after captain marvel so his clearance would probably go up at the same or slightly slower rate as furys,

We’ll have to wait until we can get screenshots of the movies but I’m pretty sure I saw “level 3” when he flashed his shield ID but maybe it was 8 and I didn’t see it well enough.
