Even amidst the growth, 40% of the iob postings are “title inflation” and are more like sales engineers or GTM engineers. So a lot of companies are abusing the title and making some roles seem more important than they are.

As mentioned in the post, sources include: Google Sheets, Python.
Data is from Bloomberry’s analysis of global job postings.
Lots of growth, though in absolute terms still very small compared to typical engineering roles of course.
And I still don’t know wtf it means? Some dork that helps write prompts for their chatGPT wrapper?
In what region, for a start?
is this the new name for tech support?
You’re going to have to define what forward deployed engineers are for this chart to make sense to me.
So what about hiring rates? Posting without hiring is a false positive, and the overall [hiring rate](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/JTSHIR) is lower than the average of the official 19 months of the Great Recession.
Yeah, this is a dumb fuckin title. Forward-deployed is mostly used to refer to contractors / others that will support thr military with their expertise
I was a Sanitation Engineer, but after several promotions, I’m a Sandwich Engineer II.
