Definitions... of 2005!!!
Hey, can anyone tell me if there is a fundamental difference between the position of "Programmer Analyst" and "Software Engineer"? Do any of you guys work with one and not the other or both? I don't mean to turn this website into Job Search 2K5, but maybe it being that as a sort of "Hot Topic" would be OK for a couple weeks. Plus, it beats what we were talking about before, which was nothing.

Skillzzzz
Analyst = testing and QA type work
Engineer = Development and programming
I could be wrong, but that is the way I see it. I have done the Analyst route before and it requires reporting bugs and developing procedures of the software or platform.
Hope that helps.
Can I go on break now please?

Re: Definitions... of 2005!!!
Terms are misleading. Every computer-related job here at the University is listed as "programmer/analyst", no matter what it is (even my sysadmin job is officially listed as that).Ice Cream Jonsey wrote:Hey, can anyone tell me if there is a fundamental difference between the position of "Programmer Analyst" and "Software Engineer"?

Programmer with the analyst tag is somebody who also has the ability to design software.
Software Engineer is vague and I consider it a BS title.
