    For some reason I was always under the impression that nearly everyone who works at a bank was a VP…

    [quote=UCGal]I was going to suggest Craigslist until I saw the caliber of job. My husband (commercial architect) has found more job leads on craigslist than on monster or other job boards. But I don’t think the same is true for executive positions.

    I never would have guessed that. Pretty neat.

    I totally agree with Paramount. I think pretty much everybody in banking is a VP. It’s probably the equivalent of manager, or at best senior manager, in other industries. I’ve heard of fresh MBAs with no banking experience being VPs in banking.

    Going back to the OP. My advice is to search on your own for a few days using the online tools people have suggested here. If nothing happens, then, by all means call a recruiter. But tell the recruiter up front whether you intend to send applications on your own, and also whether you want him/her to let you know before sending your info to a particular employer.

    Also consider unorthodox sources. I’m in the science/research field, and back in the late 90s I was living in L.A. when it occurred to me to look at the wanted listings in the L.A. Times on a Sunday. To my surprise, there was exactly one opening for my field in San Diego! I couldn’t believe it! The advertised salary range was too low, but I applied anyways, and got the job (and negotiated a better pay). My colleagues couldn’t believe I got that job through the newspaper!

    VP of product management isn’t too specific. What products does he manage? Cds, Annuities, Mutual Funds, Insurance, Alternative Investments, or does it have to do with other products?

    In this market its more about networking than recruiters or job boards
