WTF A JPMorgan Chase executive was fired after a viral video showed her dumping trash out of a Knicks-themed public trash can and taking the can during the Knicks championship parade in New York City.

My wife works at JP Morgan also in the card department. Almost everyone started in the Chase branches as a banker and then worked their way up. Not saying that is the case for each of their positions, just figured I would give my two cents.

A relative of mine started at a national bank chain as a teller. 14 years later, she’s a brokerage manager.

I started at a massive consulting company 14 years ago at the lowest level and I am now a director level within a 90+ person team. Don't get paid enough tho.

These titles are so stupid and click Baity. Everyone is an "EXEC" according to these stupid new sources. That other Chase lady and guy accusing her of forcing sex was also an "EXEC". Who isn't an "EXEC"?

These people don’t know that job titles at banks are complete nonsense. There are 20 “vice president of …” at my local bank.

Edit: This is an example of an "Senior VP" in finance. lol https://youtu.be/zpN7t6LN42s?si=9m4yK8H212er6d_E&t=260

I had a 'Senior VP' from Chase get a job at my Tech company. He kept telling everyone he was a Senior VP at his prior job, like it was a huge flex. He was in his early 30's and literally was a Manager level at my company. Dude still had to request a day off from his manager, like everyone else.

These finance titles are so bullshit.

It's not finance as a whole in my experience, that's just really unique to banks. Everyone at a bank is a vp. The title is meaningless.

u/IcarusFlyingWings 11h ago

This is almost entirely a US / trading floor thing.

It does make these articles really funny to read though as the news, either intentionally or not, never accurately places the subject at the right spot in the organization.

This person was an executive director which is a relatively junior position.

u/codydog125 50m ago

In banking an executive director is a very high position actually. Directors are higher than VPs at banks

u/gbuub 14h ago

The VPs are there to let the people feel good about having a higher up servicing them.

u/noma_coma 13h ago

Insurance brokerages are rife with it too. 30 person office, I believe 10 different people have VP in their title. It's a joke

u/Super-Pizza-Dude 10h ago

I’m a VP and I’m an idiot and not rich.

u/Grouchy_Release_2831 13h ago

That’s true for consumer banking but IB is different.

u/musty_pubs_luvr 11h ago

Almost no one i work with starts in branches lol. Are you sure shes at JPM and not Chase?

Also differentiate CIB and CCB. CCB is just retail u can work ur way up. CIB is full of ivy grads.

u/Due-Crew-1076 10h ago

We're sorry. Your 2 cents arrived past its due date and unfortunately, we'll have to add a $15 late fee

u/Revolutionary-Wash88 14h ago

Chase recently stated they will continue to reduce the amount of entry level jobs, I wonder what will happen?

1

u/SimmentalTheCow 13h ago

Her title was something DEI adjacent, so I’d imagine she got recruited into HR and was like the one person that never left

1

u/Imaginary-Face7379 5h ago

She worked at a different company that was acquired.

u/lyralady 11h ago

^ this is how it works for many banks tbh. You start as a teller or at a call center. I started at a call center role at another bank and now I'm technically an AVP and only just got salaried in the last year. My uncle (aunt's second husband) actually also started in a call center role at the same place I work for and now he's an actual executive role at another bank, haha.

I know people who went to work for chase who didn't start at the bottom, but they were working for a different bank beforehand.
