- dgrin91 3y agoIt's pretty common
- foolofat00k 3y agoIt's very common. Kind of fascinating that you've never seen it.
- Maro 3y agoSWE is a common abbreviation for Software Engineer. Others: PM, DE, PE, DS, UX, QA, etc.
- acheron 3y ago> SWE is a common abbreviation for Software Engineer This only started in the past 10 years or so, and I don't think I've ever actually seen it in real life. I don't live in SF though -- I assumed it was something Google did and all the SF types slavishly copied.
- JohnFen 3y agoI think I started seeing it about 25 years ago, and I'm nowhere near SF/SV.
- icedchai 3y agoIt's very common. Ever hear of SWE or SWET? Based on the context of this site, what did you think they were applying for?
- toast0 3y ago> Ever hear of SWE or SWET? Yeah, the Society of Women Engineers is a pretty big deal. I'm not too familiar with their org, so I dunno what SWET would be.
- kurthr 3y agoWait till you see HW (hardware) and FW (firmware). People who regularly have to work with a mixture of these will abbreviate them. You'll see them everywhere now.
- halfcat 3y agoWait until they hear about upgrading the FW on the FW! [1] [1] firewall
- sevagh 3y agoOK, sorry boss.
- dailyplanet 3y agoSE is probably the better choice, instead of SWE.
