      They call everyone a VP so idiot customers can brag about how some important guy gave them investment advice. It’s a scam to fool the gullible.

        I think originally it came from banking regulations requiring high level approval before someone could do risky shit. So now everyone is a VP

          So, it was a legal loophole? That’s kinda even more shady lol

        Real estate people too. If you’re not a VP in real estate, you don’t really exist. I’ve met guys with a VP title who are like 23 years old and not even done their mbas. It just makes everyone look stupid.

      From my experience working as an IT freelancer in the industry (so I’ve worked in a number of places), they all do that in Finance.
