    Wait so you’re telling me I’m NOT an engineer?

    Agreed. I usually say developer because I view engineers as people who do actual engineering. I’m more of a plumber who fits pipes (pieces of software) together.

      My first job was as an “engineer”.

      I spent most my time resetting passwords and setting up Outlook…

      Are you licensed by the state? There’s your answer!

      Iirc it’s full blown illegal to call yourself an engineer in Canada unless you’re a licensed engineer. Meaning that if you marketed yourself as a software engineer without an engineering license, you could technically get in trouble. Not that I think they really enforce that for “Software Engineer”.
