I remember finding out some companies had SO many VPs. how can you have that many VPs? isn't it like making everyone a senior engineer?

In investment banking, that's just a mid-level title. The usual progression is Analyst, Associate, VP, Director, Managing Director.

Not everyone becomes MD, but you definitely become VP by sticking around for a few years.

At my current job between the CEO and me the reporting chain had one SVP and three VPs.

Vice President right? Weird naming considering it makes it sound like there should be 1 and they are in position #2 of all people.
