Was Djoser the pharaoh when Joseph was vizier of Egypt?

NO. While there is serious debate over whether the Joseph story is even historical, we need not even entertain that debate to reject this. Djoser lived around 2670 B.C.E., nearly 1000 years earlier than the earliest estimates of when Joseph could have gone to Egypt. Even the oldest dates for Abraham, Joseph's great-grandfather are from 1800 B.C.E., 870 years later than Djoser.

No. A vizier is in charge of trials and is the pharaoh's right-hand man. A vizier also oversees national building projects and records. The chief of priests is called the High Priest.

How were the ancient Egyptians organized?

The majority of the population were farmers who worked the land, while craftsmen, merchants, and scribes made up the middle class. Slavery also existed, with slaves serving in various roles in society.
