I love the inflated titles, works great on unassuming non-professionals

Trying to be like banks? Make them sound more authoritative? IDK

SVP = manager. The titles are a convoluted mess, but a challenge to align across consulting and restructuring (where we get a lot of former I-bankers)

The confusion works great for some. We recruited a guy from Alix that was a Vice-President, he came in as a Senior Manager. Poor dude is way out of his depth and is going to be let go after being here a few months, but that would have been a hell of a jump if it had worked.

It’s a manager level role.

New MBA: VP
Project manager / leader: SVP
Principal / senior manager / AP: Director
Partner / almighty / deity / enlightened one: Managing Director

How do you choose keywords to target in a blog when you're writing a blog that appears on multiple country specific versions of a given website? Do you use a mix of keywords from each region/country in one blog, or create different versions of the same blog with slight keyword differences based on the country?
