I recently had an interesting experience where a recruiter told me I should re-brand my title for a role based on my description. I had a lot of "big data" experience, though my title was "Software Engineer". He told me at the end of the day, it only matters if I can actually do the skills that people would mentally associate with the title—which I very much could do.
So I've begun to recently think about how I could "brand" my skillset regardless of my ACTUAL title. Since employers almost never give a shit what your exact title was.
Happy to hear counterpoints, but my experience is that you could definitely re-frame your experience with different / compound titles in order to get better looks from other companies.
