what position to request?

Postby Michael.j2ee » Tue Feb 15, 2011 6:32 pm

I work full time as a software developer and I am kind a tired of this because it's impossible to make a career here. I am also helping a small web startup part time with technical things, and also with some design, concept and marketing.. there are only 3-4 people in this startup and I do it without any money in hope that it will became google #2 in the future LOL.

So.. since I am doing this for free I want to have a fancy position that I can mention in my resume or linkedin profile.

The question is what should it be? Something like Architect? Cofounder? VP? Product manager?

Good luck with your start-up.

Hi Michael,

Great suggestion from David, or you could try something around a design consultancy,

How about Website Design Consultant, Design and Development Manager, Website Support and Development Manager or maybe Internet Business Development Consultant.

Ultimately whatever you are comfortable with and good luck for the future,

Mal.

I am going to digress from your question. I have a suggestion of how and where you can make money. Why don't you register as a freelancer at elance.com, odesk.com,guru.com and make extra money since the people you are working for are not paying you for now

What do you think of:

Executive Manager?
Director of Product Management?


I am not interested in working as a freelancer. As I mentioned, the purpose of what I am doing is to get involved into a startup that may become successful in the future. This is a situation when a group of people get together to launch something promising and invest into this their time and energy and even may be money.
