All these job titles don’t really have a formal definition. Software engineer = programmer = software developer. Computer scientist sure does sound fancy though. There’s no committee that will say “actually you’re doing too much math to be a developer sorry.” We all do the code-y thing. Businesses seem to pick one at random based on seniority. I just call myself whatever my most recent job title was.
Your industry will affect your specialisation and skills much more than anything else.
You’re taking my comment a little too seriously. I just know that what I do is essentially playing with other people’s legos, to make a CRUD app, to show my industry’s equivalent of cat pictures. I leave the heavy math and theory to the real computer scientists.

- Software Engineer (Maths)
I don’t even go that’s far. I “work in IT”. Enough for 99% of social interactions / official forms.

sounds reasonable to me! why reinvent the wheel right?
I just use wheels that will others have built and call it my car 😎
I couldn’t tell how serious you were being, sorry. Some people get weird about this specific topic and gatekeep the labels lol
