    This is common in the financial industry. VP is just the next step up from associate. It’s a pompous title, but it’s not really some conspiracy.

      I don’t know if it’s still true, but it definitely used to be that way at every local bank in the area where I worked 15 years ago. I did a lot of contract work for them and everyone was a VP.

        I left JPMC in 2021 and that was the case even corporate side instead of retail. Same thing at Huntington Bank in 2013.

      I kinda like that my email signature and card doesn’t say my title. I like the small amount of mystery it creates for clients.
