Even in the trade myself for 30 years, I have nfc. Probably not Engineer (by itself) though.
And Computer Engineering is none of these.
I'd prefer senior developer but HR calls me a senior engineer.
I personally believe if you are writing novel IP software you are engineering, if you are just connecting cloud tools or writing basic ETL stuff, that's developing.
I'm probably 40/60 eng/dev. And 200% meetings.
Serious question, not a native speaker: Why do people in the Anglosphere refer to mostly-software companies as tech companies, or to software developers as tech workers?

I am an engineer. Most developers aren't though, unfortunately.
I use software engineer but whatevs they're all good.
Not only does this meme ignore the fact there's only 4 choices in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, it doesn't even do an even number of them leaving it annoyingly lopsided
Should have gone with something like “HaxorMaster1447”
