My titles have all been pretty basic but I can totally relate to telling people what you do and getting the blank stare!!! 😂Officially I am a Sr. Site Reliability Engineer but when telling people outside of the engineering world this is usually how its goes...

Them: What exactly do you do?
Me: I am a Software Engineer
Them: blank stare
Me: I write code
Them: still blank stare
Me: I build websites
Them: "Oooooooh"

I've given up and just tell people I sit at a desk and bang on a keyboard all day. "oh, ok"
