One of my friends decided to change his job title from "technical project manager" to "solutions architect" for the sole purpose of sales. He and the boss agreed that it sounded more impressive to the clients we were going after.
Exact same day-to-day work. Exact same responsibilities and pay. Everyone within the company agreed that it was a complete joke. And yet, we still did it.
- gregjor 2y agoYou see that kind of thing a lot with contract programming firms -- they give all of their programmers fancy titles because it makes them look better to potential clients: "We only have senior software engineers available to work on your project, we don't hire junior people." In that environment the customer probably won't individually vet whomever gets put on their project. I have had recruiters tell me to use more impressive titles too.
