I believe Morgan Stanley for example has the rank of Executive Director after Vice President. It depends on the firm, not the region.

And I also believe that higher-ups can set up an interview for you, but they won't just give you a job (an SA is almost equivalent to a job offer these days). That could result in a anti-meritocracy with possibly incompetent (or less competent) employees.
