yea its mostly the interviewers who ruin this mentality. I'm currently programming a few languages at work (js, Java, using a bunch of other tools) and unfortunately when I apply for my next job they're not gonna believe I did anything other than my job title. Bigger companies aren't so hung up on this thank god but a lot of the startups and mid-size companies are.
- frostmatthew 13y ago> when I apply for my next job they're not gonna believe I did anything other than my job title If you feel that's the case it's probably worth asking for a title change.
- fat0wl 13y agohmmm that's true. The issue is I'm a "Front-End Developer" but front-end in this case means... anything above DSL. So I work on Java / model building tools / deployment scripts / js / css / html. In lots of dev circles the annoying-ass recruiters seem to think if you work on front-end or UI it means you can't code. I used to be a full-stack RoR dev so now the notion that I might get pigeon-holed is scary to say the least, since I've only been doing increasingly more technical work every step of my career. My workplace (I'm a "consultant" at an international corp) is politically complicated enough that I think it may just best to just try to explain it when the time comes lol.
- aurelianito 13y agoJust put "Developer" as your title in your CV. When (if) someone asks you about it, then tell him/her.
