What does a VP do in IBanking?

I'm curious, what is it exactly that a VP does in a BB. The VP I worked for in my internship mostly went to meetings, assigned tasks, and worked on presentations. Does a BB VP spend most of his time meeting clients? They don't do the financia modeling do they?

Typical good day of an VP in IB:

VP: Mr. MD, your highness, for thou has spoken beautiful words. MD: I disagree. VP: Yes! I disagree as well! You sir are a genius. ::Gets on knees, opens mouth, inserts MD's cock::

Typical bad day of a VP in IB:

MD: What the fuck is this? VP: You weren't clear...I thought... MD: You have to fucking ask! Now I'm fucked! I would've looked like a fucking idiot! VP: I'm sorry, I honestly thought... MD: No, you have to be more assertive, it's already 5:00, I'm really fucked now... VP: I'll have it squared away. MD: Bend the fuck over! VP: ...yes sir... ::MD rapes VP in the ass::

This pretty much sums up what a VP does in IB.

It's not funny at all. That's just how it is. Reality is never funny.

 

^^^Oh and then after the MD leaves, to make up for his own insecurity, the VP will take an analyst into the conference room and then rape him several times over.

Well, it hurts as much on the inside as it does on the outside.

One thing, you'll learn to wear kneepads during your first week. People don't realize the most painful part is staying on your knees that long (that is if he wants you up on the table, which he usually does because it really gets him off).

 

The vault guide to investment banking has section on the typical day of a banking VP. I am sure you can find it online. Basically, the VP is the go between between the MD and Associates. They check associate work, assign new work based on the MDs needs. They also have a strong client facing role because they are essentially the MD's right hand man and they are learning what it is like to be an MD.

Read "Accidental Investment Banker"
a) It will tell you everything about what a VP in banking is
b) It's generally a funny and fascinating book about how banking evolved into its current transactional form. Any banker who likes his work should read this I think:)

Otherwise congrats!

Second this. It is about a former airline executive who was rung up by his friend out of the blue with an Associate offer when Goldman were looking to build their London office. He was completely thrown into the deep end and ultimately had a successful career, made group Co-Head at MS for Media and Tech. Very interesting read.
