I’m at that age where one of the first questions people ask when they meet me is related to what I do for a living. It doesn’t bother me, but it doesn’t usually make for a great conversation starter. After all, “software engineer” isn’t the most interesting job title.
So I started getting creative with my responses. Now, instead of “software engineer,” I tell people I’m a “Java Juggernaut” or a “Bug Bounty Hunter.” It always gets a laugh and, most of the time, I receive hilarious responses in return.
Here’s a list of 100 funny and random job titles in the workplace that you can use to spice up your introductions:
