I wonder if the reason why banks have so many VP SWE is to pay them salaries competitive with FAANG (because they have a set salary table).

Well they could just raise salaries without changing titles to be competitive but they haven’t according to levels.fyi.

Inflating titles is a way to attract people to work at these companies without paying them more.
