Re: Alternative job title for RPGLE Programmer / Analyst

When asked what I do, I just say "computers"

I guess because I write in RPG I'm a programmer...
If I wrote in C or C++ or some other PC language, I'd be a Software
Engineer...hmmmm

When somebody asks what I do, I say I'm a computer programmer.
What I actually do can be summed up as "all of the above".
Of course you want something fancier on resumes and job listings, of which
I can't think of one good one.

I've used titles including Solutions Architect, Database Architect,
Programmer/Analyst, Systems Analyst, Developer, Technical Specialist,
Security Officer, plus many more.
On the IBM i, don't they all mean the same?

All,

Programmer / Analyst seems to be considered an "outdated" job title.

But for small shops, without a separation between Developer/Software
Engineer and Business Analyst I don't know of a more modern title.

Curious if any of you have run across any good alternatives.

Thanks!
