What is the hierarchy of 'Senior Analyst' in BB?

Question

Historically the BB title hierarchy is analyst-associate-VP-ED-MD if the candidates start right after graduation. Nowadays, I've seen many profiles on linkedin with the title 'senior analyst' in BB such as GS, this is mostly seen experienced hires. Does anyone know what is 'senior analyst' in BB? Is this something in between a fresh graduate analyst and associate.

Thanks.

It's a new position between VP and Director.

Throwaway account here.

JP Morgan for example has the following bands/ranks (job level) and corresponding names... If one doesn't have these, generally they'll eventually be harmonized...

501 - analyst
502 - Analyst
601 - associate
602 - associate
603 - vp, vice president
604 - Ed, executive director
605 - MD, managing director

For analyst and associate, there are as you see two levels.. one can call themselves senior if they are the second level but I've never really heard it... There is no such thing as first second, or third year or whatever meaning anything with respect to promotion...

yea fuck those banks.. Also hate in job postings when they say "Senior Analyst/Associate" or "Senior Associate/VP" and then when you're in the later stages of interviews they drop the hammer and say they're considering you for the lower ranked hierarchy role. This is usually HR. I wish I had enough clout/power to tell her "listen bitch, unless you're gonna give me a $125k base salary and bring me in as an associate, then don't waste my time."
