Former VP here. Agreed. But on the other hand, most juicy VP offerings I got lately are for building a team from scratch or reconstructing from the ashes of a disaster. The former is very hard as talent is difficult to find (or keep!). The latter is almost impossible as you need at least a year to prove you are anything like previous VP and some of the remaining team members only stayed because they thought (or were promised) they could be promoted to this VP position. It's a feedback loop of ugly and it's taking over many companies.
