That’s the point, to sound more important than your role really is. You don’t even have to manage people, you can be at the bottom of the corporate hierarchy and still a VP only because you’ve got like 5 years of experience.
Also afaik you’re most often not the VP of something, just VP. And there is no “president” role. These titles are ridiculous
Exactly, titles don’t mean anything. If you run your own company, you can give anyone any designation. I am the ‘president’ of my company, but also ‘chief collaborator’, but sometimes ‘head of global operations’ (it’s a joke, see because if you’re the Head of global operations, you’re really God lol). I’ll let my team pick any title they like, some care more about titles than others.
They’ll be like VPs of their individual work team, working under a senior manager who heads up their particular work area. So like one senior vp to 2-3 vps, who oversee 2 juniors each.
Vice president in Citibank is like a manager of a small team, so she’s not particularly senior.
Source: had a uni friend who became a “VP” about 3 years after graduating.
Yea these executives are basically glorified IT, they give advice to people on where to put their money, setting up the bank mobile app, etc.
What are they vice presidents of exactly? Because the job title sounds misleading.
