Job Title....
-
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.

Hi i always call myself a 'computer programmer' lmao (even tho i've had my own software business for many years), and have done since i started coding in the mid 70's. it's a pet h8 to see poncy pretentious self-given titles (even 'software engineer' sounds dubious to me). stick with programmer, it does what it says on the tin hehe.

You could call yourself a Script Architect After all it's the tools and glue we call scripts that support compositing, rendering and lighting, Lenny

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
Is it just me being picky, or does anyone else get peeved when someone represents themselves as a "Software Engineer" without the degree or certification to back it up? Your local electrician isn't going to bill themselves as an electrical engineer, a programmer (no matter how good they are) shouldn't bill themselves as a software engineer unless they have all the engineering skills to back that title up...

Yeah you're being too picky. It's not a clearly defined term to be sure, but it doesn't apply only to those who have paper. You have to credit people for their experience, and most self-taught programmers are 10 times the wizards of the college-produced ones. Degrees and certifications say nothing in this world. Well, not to people like me who are looking for skills, rather than paper. A degree is good to have, but it's not proof of anything other than maybe ability to stick it out. I have a liberal arts degree with major in Biology and minor in Math, but I have never worked in either of those fields with the exception of part time stuff and internships. College is good 'basic training' for life in the business world, but it doesn't mean you're competent at any specific thing. I was a programmer before college and I am now, making over 20 years experience... that's what counts, not some paper.

Engineer seems to qualify for more than programmer.
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)

Like Keanu Reeves;P I say go with whatever gets you paid more. Just make sure to avoid something that will get you paid less. -
