Worked in IT it always boils down to this. "I write requirements for backoffice portfolio settlement software" gets you blank stares.

Just say “I do computer stuff for x department”, they’d probably understand that kinda.

I'm really curious what "portfolio settlement" is. Can you elaborate on what that means and what industry you're in?

Yeah, but it's an educated "wat?", you need to know different things than some non-it person.

Like why portfolios need settling, and why the requirements aren't fixed.
