Excuse my ignorance but what’s wrong with being a senior VP?
No longer purely execution focused but MDs trying to protect their little fiefdom will put you on the chopping block first
ah I see. Thank you for the insight.
lol
honestly nothing would give me more happiness than getting laid off from banking with a small severance. if you don't actively yearn for being fired/laid off in IB, you are doing this job wrong.
AFAIK nobody gave any severance during the covid layoffs.
