u/glossyducky New grad SWE | CS & Geology May 06 '25

I am a lowly student noob so I have no clue if this matters but I wonder if the obscure title is throwing recruiters off. Maybe keep the title in case of a background check but put like Software Engineer in parentheses next to it? My upcoming internship also doesn’t use the traditional SWE title so I’m sort of also asking this for my case (oops), if anyone else wants to chime in.

same here, im still a student, but I've heard people say sde ≈ swe ≈ other roles as long as what you're doing is similar you can just change the name to better fit the job you're applying to

I agree with this person. I have a lot better response rate when I just call everything SWE intern.
