- detaro 5y agoSound Engineer, Studio Engineer, ... used a lot in music.
- caseyohara 5y agoExactly. That's why I think TFA is silly for singling out software engineers.
- 7thaccount 5y agoI think those are also not favored terms, but they're less annoying as they always use a prefix (sound, studio...etc) and don't just call themselves engineers like many in software do. Again, I think technical work like coding is a worthy profession by itself. The title of coder or programmer seem to already work and are more specific.
- 7thaccount 5y agoI think sales engineer is generally fine (not sure about here though) if the title refers to an actual engineer that is knowledgeable on the product and using that knowledge to help the customer make a choice. A buddy of mine (industrial engineer) scored extremely well on the P.E. exam and is sitting on the exam board now. He is a sales engineer as he likes people and talking.
