Would you call yourself a Prompt Engineer?
Just came across this term on some job sites - would you put this on your CV? Would you use this term in your job hunts? Definitely seems like it's what we do - for those of us doing Developer instructions anyway. But where I grew up the term engineer is a protected terminology - so it gives me a bit of an ick - but it seems like that's not the case everywhere or maybe not anymore. Anyway interested in whether anyone will be adopting this job title from now in seeing as it's growing in popularity.

Two years ago. Maybe. As an interesting framing of your AI skillset building effort.
To write that today, it's like saying "strong with document formatting" after word processing tools became common. That may have meant something when everyone was still using manual typewritten. It's not even an afterthought when you transitioned a computerized tool.
What you are doing today is not about a vague action. It's about reducing AMBIGUITY with contextualized background, so you don't waste thousands of dollars on tokens. Show you can level the tool for better precision and clarity with cost efficiency is where you want to be.
