As someone not in tech, I have no idea how to refer to my tech friends' jobs (lemmy.world)

Not engineer.

At least here in Germany, engineer is a protected profession. Other than that: All of the above.

Interesting. In the US, all kinds of jobs are called engineers

Yeah, same in the UK. Really annoyed me that the plumber, electrician.. etc were all engineers. In Germany it's as protected as calling yourself doctor, which ultimately affects how people view the profession and the salaries they command

Yeah it's difficult for me to name my title in English 'cause the word doesn't exist. I went to a technical high school, not university. (Not college!)
