You can be any of
Programmer
Programmer/Analyst
Busines software solutions
System programmer
Senior programmer
Senior Developer
Senior Systems Developer
Systems Architect
Software Architect
Senior Software Architect
....and the list goes on.
I worked in an office a few years ago where all the programmers had given
themselves titles like the last few.
I am personally unsure of the merit of self appointed titles - it does however
raise the programmers dilemma:
Is it better to rate oneself or be rated by management people above who have
usually only a vague and inaccurate idea of how good someone really is?
Both have to be risky ventures with unpredictable accuracy.
Personally I have always been happy to called myself a (lowly)
Programmer/Support person because a good half of the best ideas I have had for
software have come when I actually do face to face support for real users,
watching them break or stress or show the bottlenecks in the stuff I have
written.
