I don't like non-standard titles. Some of them are cute, but I don't put them on the resume. I will map them to something else. I once had a company hire me into a Senior Software Engineer role but they gave me the title "Software Specialist". I have no idea what that is. It sounds like I'm working behind a counter at an Egghead Software.
I just used "Senior Software Engineer" on my resume for that role. I got nervous once when I got this total RotoRooter colonoscopy of a background check for an offer I accepted, but it didn't raise any flags.
- xena 4y agoI also legally can't call myself an "engineer" where I live unless I get a degree that says I'm an engineer. My official title is something boring like "Software Designer". I don't like that title, it makes me sound less capable than I actually am. I originally came up with "Archmage of Infrastructure" with the idea to change it every time I was asked but it stuck.
- insane_dreamer 4y agoCool. Did the company you work for presently accept that title?
