Misuse of the term "Engineer" in job ads

2 pointsdavetong15y ago2 comments

I've noticed an anti-pattern in job adverts of the mis-labelling of the job position of a "programmer" as a "software engineer". There are major differences between the two so why do job adverts do it?

Technically, it's illegal in most states to represent one's self as an 'engineer' unless you hold an RPE license.
