At the firm I work at, VPs don’t get official “vacation” in the same way Analysts & Associates have. Do VPs just not take vacations, or do they sneak away and just review/answer stuff via email and iPad while out?
Seems crazy & depressing to not allow employees to have official vacation time, but this is banking after all.

I can speak to three experiences - see if you can follow the trend...
VPs get vacation but it is just not protected in the same way An/As is. An/As deals can be restaffed easily enough, not really the same for VPs where you start to own the relationship.
Don't think anyone expects you to take 0 vacation or sit there on your laptop all day + respond instantly like is normally expected, but you should plan to spend 30 min a day checking in and responding to emails... maybe once in AM and once in PM. If you have a good relationship with your directors/MDs they are usually willing to step in to do extra review of materials while you are out, so you aren't having to mark up decks all day long
