Originally posted by DeManI sometimes wonder whether this is a matter of where you are in the world. I work for an American Company, and my title is "Software Engineer". The same role in a local (Australian) company would probably be "Software Developer".
When I was at school, and was deciding study options/career paths, neither of these titles were very common, rather "Programmer " and "Systems Analyst" were the catchy terms used. I always assumed that a "Programmer " was a "code-Monkey" and a "Systems Analyst" was his boss. These terms are still around, sure, but I'm not sure they still describe exactly the same role they used to. Systems Analysts these days are not necesarily IT qualified (and infact analyse Systems which aren't necessarily electric, and I think {though I've been wrong once or twice before} that this is sort of where Business Analysts came from....but I digress)
Because most of the systems I design are for business users I keep getting tagged with the Business Analyst/Developer label. I've never considered myself a business analyst. Maybe this is just an Irish thing. We love putting labels on people but we're not very consistent about it. It seems to change like fashion.
