I left Oracle three years ago and now see many former colleagues moving into VP or Senior Director roles. The bar seems lower than a decade ago. Back then, an IC5 promotion required pitching to several VPs; Director → Senior Director often took 5–8 years of hard work; becoming VP could take around a decade for top performers. Today I’m seeing a average guy become regional VP of AI with only a bachelor’s degree, little to no AI experience, and limited overall sales experience (<3 years at Microsoft, and in fact later fired). Has the process changed, or are titles being inflated? Where is this going? Is this a talent development, I guess not...

So many MDs have job postings on their teams for Director or below that require something like an MBA or CFA, yet these same MDs only have a bachelors. I realize this isn’t specific to BNY but as someone in that network I’ve been seeing so much of this lately. As a manager, I don’t care where you went to school - I’m looking at your experiences first and if you interview well and seem like you could fit in. I have an MBA but it hasn’t really been a driver in my career. I wonder how much hiring managers actually pay attention to this.

Oregon State University is laying off non-tenured faculty as part of a budget realignment that took effect July 1, following the Board of Trustees’ May approval of a plan to cut overall expenses by 5.2%. The changes, driven by rising costs that outpace tuition and enrollment growth, also anticipate a potential 15% reduction in federal overhead reimbursements, which fund research-related expenses. In the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, all non-tenured teaching staff are being let go, including professors Allen Milligan and Stephen Meyers. Milligan, who teaches phycology and aquatic botany, said his fall term course will be his last, leaving no faculty with his expertise in the department. He explained that non-tenured faculty rely heavily on grant funding to cover portions of their salary, and the new model makes retaining such positions financially unsustainable. While OSU says it aims to minimize impacts and is still hiring for some roles, it has not indicated plans to rehire affected non-tenured instructors.
