In most financial companies, the next step up from senior developer is VP.

VP often means you've been in the company for 2-3 years without screwing up too much.

I was an intern in a team where everyone who's been in the company for more than a year was a VP.

It's just a weird financial thing. Everyone gets to be a VP. I was actually a bit embarrassed by having the title when I worked at BofA. It's not even a manager level. I was what would be a senior developer anywhere else.

VP is just a fancy title for Manager in financial institutions so people feel better.
