Hey, my current title at the company is “Frontend Engineer” but over time I have started contributing to backend as well. Now I am looking to switch to a fullstack position. So when HRs ask me what do I do, I mention I am a fullstack dev at my current company.
Is this okay to do or should I just mention I am a frontend dev?
I am worried about this because what if they think I am lying about my title. They might expect to see “Software Engineer” or “Fullstack Engineer” on my offer letter/payslips at the end of the interviews.
TLDR: how important is the title on the offer letter and payslips while switching?
Is “Frontend Engineer” printed on your company’s payslip!! This is weird, because usually the title are technology agnostic- like Software Engineer, Consultant, Software Development Engineer, Tech Analyst etc. But if it is mentioned on your Payslip, then certainly you can’t bluff like this, they may notice it and ask you.
On number of initial HR screening calls I have mentioned about being fullstack dev which technically is true. I genuinely didnt know they meant official role I have. Will this be a big issue when I clear all the interviews and share my payslips?
No, I think it will still be ok, no big deal. As long as you clear the interview it should be good. When someone asks, you can just tell as it is- that your official role is of front end, but for last few months (or a year) you had started working on backend too. Though to be fair, you should have told this to HR too, but whenever you get the opportunity to course correct, better tell that, because anyway someone may notice it in payslip and they may feel lied upon.
Is it okay to change your role title in your resume if it doesn't clearly reflect what you do at work?
My role title is DevOps but 80% of my work is backend development. Is it okay to remove DevOps from my role title?

It takes time to understand and master any domain. You have to do something substantial. Where has the humility gone? Does calling yourself Leader increases chances of getting jobs? It’s mind boggling And shallow.
I'm a frontend dev, with close to 5 years of workex. I've been trying to switch to a full stack dev role for a couple of years now. Tried switching internally, but it didn't work because there were too many backend devs and too much depe...
When I saw Twitter and LinkedIn most of people titles shows fullstack developer and here I am afraid of calling my self a frontend enginner, because there is so much to learn in each domain itself.

I have seen a lot of positions about being full stack with a polyglot mindset. One of the full stack positions I worked for was almost always frontend with little backend work. I acknowledge it's a great way to learn as well and not ever...
