@qv @t0 for people titled "engineer" legally or otherwise at Cisco, Google says India has 19,000-21,000, the US has 15,000-16,000 and Canada has 1,300, and these don't include those in many other countries. That makes Canada a rounding error here. You are pretending you care about accuracy when you're wrong about most of the world.
It also appears the term "Software Engineer" hasn't been legally controlled in Alberta since somewhere around 2004 due to a lawsuit followed by changes in the law so it's not even all of Canada.
Personally I wouldn't call most at Cisco either software engineers or software developers because most can't pass a basic data structures course or describe what an API is.
@k9 would have been more accurate if it replaced the Canadian "P.Eng" with the US "P.E." The key is the phrase is "Professional Engineer" which is restricted in the US. "Software Engineer" and others are generally not restricted in the US and from what I can see they aren't restricted in India either.
@k9 report Canada offices then
$25,000 fine for offences - EACH ONE - so a sh-t ton of $$$$$ in legal fines for using the word "engineer" in any situation for any role publicly ever. Looks like Toronto uses 5-7 different titles of fake "engineers"
@k9 okay there FAKE Engineer 🤣
([In the US it is] Kinda not legal to use the
word[phrase Professional] Engineer without a P.Eng designation)
FTFY.
TAC is for specific people only. It might be very stressful in some times, so it is better to be elsewhere.
Get out of TAC
"Developers"
(Kinda not legal to use the word Engineer without a P.Eng designation)
Do TAC engineers have a life outside of working customer cases??
Yes, hanging out here.
