Mastering Your Professional Brand

Your job title is more than just a label on a contract—it is the headline of your professional story. In the fast-paced world of technology and startups, perception is reality. A generic title can make you invisible, while a strategic one can open doors to higher salaries, better equity, and leadership roles.

The Psychology of "Hype"

Silicon Valley operates on "signal". When a recruiter or VC scans your profile, they are looking for words that signal ownership and impact.

"I wrote code"
"Founding Engineer"

Which Title Should I Use?

For Startups & Twitter

Use the Hype or Startup categories. These signal that you wear multiple hats and drive results. Example: "Product Architect".

For Corporate & Banks

Stick to Serious or ATS Safe. Large companies have strict HR hierarchies. Example: "Senior Systems Analyst".

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to change my job title?

Generally, yes—for your "Headline" or "Functional Title". However, on background checks and formal contracts, you should usually list your official HR title. LinkedIn is a marketing channel; treat it as one.

Will this help with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)?

Yes, if you choose titles from the "ATS Safe" category. These are standard, recognized titles (like "Senior Software Engineer") that parsers understand perfectly.

What is a "Founding Engineer"?

A Founding Engineer is typically one of the first 1-5 engineers at a startup. They do more than just code; they help define the product, culture, and tech stack.
