I'm asking out of curiosity mostly.

Is anyone here into digital marketing? That's what I'm studying for right now.

Software engineer is my title but my actual role is much more .. chaotic.

I love it

Same, more or less. I work with self driving cars, in software integration (for people not familiar, that is putting together the software components other teams make, and solving the interactions between them).

It's supremely fun. Constantly changing, chaotic, requires me to see the whole picture and never keep detailed focus on a specific part for very long. I love it.

Tech lead here, but same idea. The chaos and variety is exactly what I love about my job too.

Same here. If something is on fire it’s fun to deal with and easy to hyper focus on till it’s resolved. If it’s repetitive everyday kind of stuff, ughhhh.
