Hi guys, I am supposed to apply for a SDE role but my job title is “Technical Consultant” at a WITCH company. I am depressed, not to whine, but given my situation. I have good full stack projects, ML research, Intermediate at DSA, still learning more, BUT I’m being told my job title would be the reason I’ll never be able to crack a SDE role.

I am lost. I just don’t know what to do now. Should I take the risk and fake my job title which can easily be verified or should I put my actual job title and reduce my already slim chances?
