While it seems unlikely it doesn't tell the full story

You're probably assuming he went to college when he was 18-22 years old and was 22 years old when graduating in 1994.

You also assume he did nothing before the VP role just because it's the first thing listed.

What if this happened, he worked at the bank in various roles right out of high school between the ages of 18-30, then he went back to college while continuing to work at CITI, graduating in 1994 and being promoted to the VP role at age 34 years old all at the same time. For his LinkedIn, he simply chose to avoid putting any of the previous work prior to the VP role, which makes sense if that's the level he's at and wants to maintain to future employers.

Now does the timeline feel unrealistic to you? I mean it's still great progress but certainly feasible.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

And fwiw I'm not saying any of that is what is going on with this guy but I'm just saying the LinkedIn page doesn't really tell you everything.

Edit:

I did also do a quick search and it sounds like VP at CITI isn't even anything all that remarkable. They seem to have a bunch of VP's. Titles can be incredibly misleading. According to Google:

"How much does a Vice President Citibank make? As of Jan 8, 2026, the average annual pay for a Vice President Citibank in the United States is $157,532 a year."

Sure that's great for someone as their first job if it really is the case after graduating from Brown but pretty underwhelming overall.
