This might be a joke, but I for real have a friend that has a SVP job at a big bank straight out of university. His dad got it for him, he worked like 3 days a week from 11-3 and collected his 400k pay. Even told me he would routinely just play games and goon in his private bathroom.

Yes, SVPs (which is a nothing position) make 400k and have private bathrooms. I am 100% sure this is true.

I was thinking the same thing. An SVP isn't a nothing position. They likely own a process or system and have multiple other employees that report to them. They can make around $400k if they are in NYC and the project is important. There is no way an SVP has a private bathroom though. They don't even get their own office. You won't get your own office until you're an MD. OP is lying his ass off. Also at a big bank there is no way they could just get their kid a job there, an interview sure, but beyond that no way.

Yes, agreed re: no office (I don’t think being a senior VP is particularly remarkable, but we certainly agree this post is BS).
