Job Title....

I always preferred
Computer Programmer, but useSenior Software Engineersince that's what people expect (especially those writing the checks; it just sounds like you should pay the latter more.) I knew a guy once who listed his title asSoftware Guy.Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

Oddly enough, so did I. His name wouldn't happen to be Paul, would it?

Alas, no.

Computer Programmer is a good one. In my experience, those who give themselves a title the length of a worthy essay, often can't even code. I bet the Software Guy was a pretty decent programmer. :)

Still is. He wrote code for both Macs and PCs. One day I asked which he preferred. His classic answer: "Which ever one I'm not working on."

hmmmm... we don't really have them, but they look nice on business cards. Given the presence of a hollywood team of visual experts and 3D visualization experts from across the country I think it is time I change mine from "Computer Programmer". Work doesn't care, as long as you don't lie, or the title denotes a seniority (we're a flat organization, mostly all peers). So now I am in search of a job title.... (or subtitle) Computer programmer/3D specialist? any ideas?... yeah I know... creativity is easier in 3D graphics than tooting my own horn.

Well, you probably aren't moving to another company anytime soon, but the title might have an effect on salary. Engineer seems to qualify for more than programmer. Personally I like Code Monkey. Will eat bugs for food.

Sounds WAY too much like MediaMonkey or SeaMonkey! Haven't you heard that "Computer Programmer" as a job title is obsolete because it's too generic? "Software Engineer" is now the proper term, because you're "Engineering" (building) software!

Engineer is no less generic than programmer. You are also programming a computer.

Those don't mean anything to me. Code monkey does. As when they expect you to be another monkey banging away at the keys whilst disregarding your input.

Well, if I can't convince my girlfriend to move down here if it gets more serious, I could always start my own business up there... but I think that is for the future. We already have a CEO, and I think he might complain... :laugh:

Well, you said that "we're a flat organization, mostly all peers". If it's flat, then you are all at the same level, so... congratulations new CEO! :-D

Actually, salary is based on the department I am in and experience/training/degree. Ironically my department is Engineering. How is "3D Software Engineer/Architect" (I just "borrowed" it from Monster.com)

Never promise beyond what you can deliver. :) If I were Omniscient I wouldn't need my own set of debugging tools. ;P

I also said "mostly all peers"... I have a supervisor, an Engineering Manager, and then it is just the VP and President/CEO. All 50 some engineers are peers, including my programming team. but thank you for the vote of confidence! :-D

Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed
