I work for a Fortune 150 company where VP is definitely a mid-level management job. It's insane how many VP we have. Just my small part of the company has 5 VPs and they are all at least 4 levels below the President of the company.
- dylan604 7y agoHow does that even look on an org chart? Normal: President -> Vice-President Common: President -> Executive VP -> VP Guessing: President -> Platinum VP -> Exec VP -> VP (It is related to airlines, so just borrowing their classes)
- kevstev 7y agoAt a typical investment bank: President/CEO --> CTO (may also hold corp title of Managing Director, maybe "Senior Managing Director") --> Managing Director --> Director --> VP --> (possibly) AVP --> Peon. When I last left the IB world, there were many VPs and a decent number of Directors that were individual contributors.
- epochwolf 7y agoI find it amusing that someone would be closer to the CEO through six degrees of separation than through the levels of management.

It's a pretty neat metal but it isn't particularly valuable. Steel and aluminum are pretty neat metals too, in different ways, but no one uses those in marketing this way.
- pkaye 7y agoIn the airline industry, it might be President -> Platinum VP -> Gold VP -> Silver VP -> Bronze VP
- irrational 7y agoYou forgot Senior VP. But, it's more like President > C?O > some other C?O position > Senior VP > VP > etc.
