I work for a Fortune 150 company where VP is definitely a mid-level management job. It's insane how many VP we have. Just my small part of the company has 5 VPs and they are all at least 4 levels below the President of the company.
Normal: President -> Vice-President
Common: President -> Executive VP -> VP
Guessing: President -> Platinum VP -> Exec VP -> VP (It is related to airlines, so just borrowing their classes)
When I last left the IB world, there were many VPs and a decent number of Directors that were individual contributors.
It's funny how "titanium" is somehow such a big thing with marketing names these days, such as with car trim models. It's a pretty neat metal but it isn't particularly valuable. Steel and aluminum are pretty neat metals too, in different ways, but no one uses those in marketing this way.
President -> Platinum VP -> Gold VP -> Silver VP -> Bronze VP
But, it's more like President > C?O > some other C?O position > Senior VP > VP > etc.
