- nilkn 2y agoIn finance, this would be more like a managing director (e.g., in Two Sigma, one of the engineering leaders reporting directly to the CTO). You're totally right that "VP" just refers to more like a mid-level or senior engineer in that world.
- TeaBrain 2y ago>Noticed hn in general seems to consider VP pretty senior It's not that the position referred to is simply interpreted or "considered" as being senior, but that VP is the title for the highest seniority, or highest behind SVP, below c-suite at most tech and other non-finance companies. VP simply has a completely different meaning in finance, that has nothing to do with what other users here are referring to.
