That's bizarre given Wall Street has been abusing the Vice President title for generations now. (VPs at American banks report to Managing Directors, a middle-management level of which there are hundreds if not thousands. It's the tier above Associate, i.e. straight out of B school or with a year or two of Analyst experience.)

The European equivalent is "Executive Director". (That is, someone at Goldman who was promoted to VP from Associate in the US would have been promoted to ED in Europe.) That's even worse title abuse, if you ask me.
