Job titles can end up being a warren of fail if you think about it too much. In my previous org I had tester and QA in the title at various points (always with analyst) which really didn’t help the situation as other parts had analyst in their title attached to the word consultant as well which means several different things to different people. In my experience outside of tech teams the difference between a QA/Tester, a Developer and a member of the support team is difficult to be retained. I know people have strong feeling towards not being called a “tester” and not liking to have “QA” in their title as it implies quality is their problem/remit.
My title in my new company is “Senior QA Engineer”. I was mostly drawn in by senior part which was a sore point from my last org. I’m not doing anything different really from my previous job there is just only me and org uses Engineer in their title and I quite like it.
I guess what would you like for your title?
I’m not sure there is a title that would instantly help anyone understand it and there are a bunch that cause instant confusion.
