    What's going on with role titles these days?

    Sorry to sound like an

    "Functional Business Analyst" - Well I would hope so. Why feel the need to specify they should be functioning? Doesn't jobserve charge by the letter?

    "Developer in Test" - Weird. Why you you want a developer that is still being tested? Surely you want one that has passed all his exams and is all grown up with some real world experience?

    "DevOps Developer" - A frickin what now? Does this mean a developer with only one giant eye in the middle of his forehead?

    "Digital Business Analyst" - Err, right. Does this mean he has a metal letter H in the middle of his forehead? Isn't everything digital these days? Is there much call for analogue Business Analysts these days?

    Feel free to add your own bulltulip role titles, I could do with a giggle.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

    I saw 'Graduate SME' on LinkedIn once. That one tickled me

    Mind you, the tart in question was doing summat at Lloyds so probably was quite SME-ish if she'd been there >6 months.

      Haven't seen "Evangelist Developer" for a while, a sort of wild eyed, shouty developer that many clients seem to behold as a gift from god.

        Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

        No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                  A friend applied for a job recently as a "Mapping Evangelist" for Nokia.
