@mirandadoesbrands: Why are we so obsessed with calling everyone an engineer, and why are we pretending like marketing hasn’t always involved data analysis and systems building #marketing #ai #gender #technology
“Head of Growth” is now the role title when it’s just digital marketing

The change of titles makes job hunting more difficult and it’s very irritating 😭

There has been a massive semantic shift/dilution of the title “engineer” for awhile I think. While Growth Engineer can sit under the umbrella of software engineering and intersect with analysis-driven marketing, I do think there will be a more concerted effort in the traditional engineering disciplines to codify what qualifies as “Engineer” via stricter adherence to PE licensure or some other way possibly. Regardless I don’t think it should be thrown around- could create confusion in the labor pool and salary ambiguity, especially for women in both fields. Marketing should be respected and so should engineering.

In from Poland, where, as you said, the title of engineer is a protected one. It's a title awarded to those who in "English" terms have Bachelor of Sciences or Engineering. It's tried to a practical skillset, basics of maths and usually required practice in the field. We often are required to do projects as our thesis, not just write a text. As compared to "regular" bachelors who have more theoretical and strictly academic knowledge. This standard should be applied all over the world

what are the chances that at some point in the future, engineering is just gonna end up meaning "human made" (feel free to correct me on this with explanations,etc cos im curious)

engineer is linked to math high level math .
so marketing could NEVER be an "engineering" . same goes for design.

Sales Engineer are just sales. It's happening to a lot of soft-skills jobs, not just marketing.

It’s because the average business person that doesn’t work in marketing doesn’t know what marketing is and confuses it with making communication material. Sometimes even marketers don’t know what it means. It’s much easier to just call myself „quant“ or some other nonsense than trying to change people’s preconceptions.
