    Always remember to ask a VP “how many people report to you?” If they say none, then they aren’t a VP just sparkling wage slave.

      I had 100 people reporting to me as a VP in a global bank. It’s still nothing. It’s all about relative size.

      100 people in a company of 1000? Real VP.

      100 people out of 100k? Middle manager.

        How do you manage having 100 reports? It sounds like a ton of work. I don’t know what working in a bank is like though.

        In some industries you can be a supervisor with 100 reports. Job titles are so asynchronized even in similar types of companies that they’re virtually meaningless without company specific context.
