Updating LinkedIn profile: 'Software Engineer in Test' as 'Software Engineer'?
Hey fellow Blindmates!
I've been an SDET ever since my first full time job (4 years go), i.e a guy that has worked extensively on coding up frameworks for automation, CI/CD pipelines, and even test automation. My experience did involve some manual work (as in exploratory testing etc) but it was never a black box tester/QA kinda thing.
Recently accepted an offer at a new place, as a 'Software Engineer in Test'. Now as I plan to update my LinkedIn, wondering if I should just put 'Software Engineer ()' , or the exact role name I'm given? The concern is only to not give a perception that I'm a QA/manual tester. I feel 'Software Engineer in Test' often is associated with manual QA, unlike 'SDET'? Is this true? And if this is relevant, I plan to move to pure development too, soon in the future as I get an opportunity.
Thoughts/Suggestions welcome. Thanks!
