My father was an EE who for some years ran his own 1-man shop. His cards said "VP Engineering". His reasoning was that he mostly used the cards at trade shows, "VP" made it look like a bigger company, and while it made him appear senior, "VP Engineering" suggested more technical credibility than "President"
- thejteam 15y agoReminds me of something that happened at the small business I used to work for. The business was family owned. This one guy was an employee from the beginning of the company and was a top notch engineer. The company wanted him in on all technical negotiations and trusted him enough to sign contracts. But some of the companies that we were working with absolutely wouldn't talk to anybody below the level of vice president. So they made him VP of Engineering.
