I've heard an anecdote of someone being denied entry at the border because they described themselves as "software engineer", which as far as the border guard was concerned was a fake job.
> "Software engineer" specifically is used around the world to refer to the role performed.
I don't think it is? I spent 10+ years programming in an English-speaking country and it sounds weird and cringe to me, the same way as "Code Ninja" or "Rockstar" (or indeed the "Archmage" title mentioned elsewhere in the thread).
